In honour of your new country of residence, would she accept tea?

Happy Birthday indeed!

And, the data signal is much stronger on the Chiltern line. You can actually get some work done.

Paywall (sobs)

Or teenager refuses to do it, gets horribly sun-burned and rest of holiday much impaired by crying, wincing and endless searches in local pharmacies for effective ointments aka Summer 2015. Parental schadenfreude tempered, tho because I am a terrible person not eliminated, by very real filial pain.

The display looks just a bit different. I also suspect the security has improved. Anyway, thanks again. I’m so looking forward to my visit.

Oh thank you so much for this! I learned about the models from a throwaway line in A level. First stop on the pre-uni Inter-rail: Les Invalides, in the attic, which is where they were then. Half were off limits but I sneaked past the guard to see loads more. Can’t wait to see them again.

My friend, believe me: if I could bottle and sell it to you, I would.

I recall the Soho Society thought otherwise and snuffed out her small joy by lobbying the Council to force her to take it down. We’re several decades on but tonight I smile and think of her.

My late friend, a TV producer, had a small flat in Berwick St in the 90s. It had a tiny roof terrace on which she placed an iron girder construction with which to hang plants. It was entirely at one with the grim aesthetic of that aspect of Soho.

……with glass of champagne in hand?

Congratulations. A sunny summer day today?
