I’m quite in love with this Andrea Arnolds film. I needed that cry in the dark of the cinema.

Another moment. It’s just a weed self-seeded next to my fence, but pausing to look at its beauty gave me a chance to take a deep breath. They would love for us to be weak and defeated. No way.

This very delicate novel moved me to tears this afternoon. I’m still thinking about it, a couple of hours after reading the last page. Time passes swiftly in a lifetime. Everything, even a grasp on time itself, can change instantly, or just as frighteningly, piece by piece. Thank you, Sean Wilson.

My most recent piece for the Guardian, though I prefer my original title, ‘Swimming with the memories of two men I loved’. Swimming in the sea gives me a beautifully clear mind.

This is a sewing pattern. It is also a page from a late 14th century manuscript that is one of two primary sources for an important Icelandic saga (Sturlunga saga), but that was probably not important to the 17th century person who really needed a sewing pattern.
