My musical hero has died. RIP Danny Thompson, the man who inspired me to pick up the double bass. Here he is with John Martyn who, it transpires, used to live up the next close to me in Glasgow. youtu.be/uvCU1U2rhB0?...

So, Farage is a spokesperson for Trump and Trump is a spokesperson for Putin. It’s, quite ironically, like a game of Russian dolls. Except instead of dolls they’re ugly treacherous cunts.

I like handwritten letters. I like pouring my feelings onto paper, into words a little slanted, a little smudged from when my hand shook as I wrote them down, a polygraph of my heart. If flowers can be pressed, so can feelings — into paragraphs, into ‘—yours truly,’ into a name.

Does anyone have any advice on dealing with homesickness?
Even when I’m briefly home I feel rotten thinking about going away again.
I’m 52 and should be able to deal with this better.
