The raised edge means she can snuggle right down, and it’s also exactly the same height as my desk so she feels included without sitting on my laptop 🤣

This is from Pets At Home! It’s a scratching tree topped with a sort of doughnut cat plinth

Twig is enjoying her new desk chair, and the opportunities it gives her to sit like a dignified lady.

Hardwearing-wise, I recently wore a pair of L&Y Alexas to get a hose through a foot-wide gap between a very prickly hedge and a barn in the pouring rain. They came out undamaged and therefore the winner and my skin was also undamaged. V sturdy cotton.

I wear Lucy and Yak and Seasalt, mostly - in L&Y styles where they don’t do petite length, they still look nice rolled up, and their Alexa trousers do well for smart with a longer top if you size down. Oliver Bonas are also good. (I am 5’2” for reference)

Met this extremely sweet and also very done dog while I was working at Christie’s which is surprisingly dog-friendly. He is not impressed with the Monet he’s sat next to and I appreciate that - perhaps modern art is more his thing?

I have lost the photos but we found some spices in my grandma’s cupboards that were clearly from the 80s and had survived two separate long-distance house moves, you do not have to feel bad

I live in Kent and these rancid fucks don’t stand for me, or indeed many of my neighbours. They are hateful fascists, plain and simple. Solidarity with London, a city that opens its doors wide open to me every time I visit, and whose unfailing commitment to community constantly astounds me.
