Very sad to learn we lost Diane Keaton. I fell in love with her a little watching Annie Hall. And so many diverse roles afterwards, from "loveable ditz" to the Godfather, dramas, comedies, Oscar glory, behind the camera to direct & produce... She will be missed.

A couple more, quick snaps from this evening's slow, tired (very good day, but tiring) stroll home, as dusk was slowly transitioning into night.

Union Canal at dusk, the tenements on either side in dark shadows, silhouetted against the sky, the water reflecting the sunset sky like a dark mirror

Polwarth after sunset, rows of Victorian stone tenements on either side of the road, in dusk shadows, an illuminated Zebra crossing in the foreground, the sky visible between the rows of buildings on both side, sky colours fading into night, palest blues and salmon pinks

DO NOT MISS The Word for World: The Maps of @ursulakleguin.com, Architectural Association, Bedford Sq, London. It's truly beautiful. (I've never been involved w a project that's had massive banners before, it's v exciting).

Spend time with the maps, inc my niche fave, The City Ansul from VOICES 💙

The Architectural Association, a Georgian house of dark brick on Bedford Square, with two-storey high banners outside reading The Word for World and Ursula K Le Guin.

A cyanotype white-on-blue banner with fern prints at the top and a map below hangs in a gallery. Other similar banners featuring different maps are glimpsed behind it.

Deciding to forget all the nasty things in the world for a few, precious seconds, I kicked my first really big pile of fallen leaves of the season into the air today, and it was satisfying
