Tomorrow evening it’ll be my annual duty to vaguely shepherd the activity on the #duvetknowitschristmas hashtag and urge people to give small sums to charity. 7.30pm? Something like that?

This week on the blog - City of Wonders by Eduardo Mendoza. Sadly, it didn’t quite live up to expectations for me. Still think the cover art is gorgeous though.

London City Ballet were absolutely fantastic today. A brilliant programme expertly performed. Love the focus on reviving ‘lost’ works too. Can’t wait to see what they do next 👏

Some gorgeous fabric arrived today for my next sewing project. Super excited to get sewing (and a little worried that I’ll mess it up 😅)
