RIP to Diane Keaton. Not only a woman who made extraordinary films but someone who always seemed to be exactly herself, and to be enjoying the experience very much.

Go well, queen

in Looking for Mr Goodbar, a poor film but probably her greatest performance

in her lovely late-career rom-com, Something’s Gotta Give, opposite Jack Nicholson

It’s evening and they are there. Each night I do the same thing. Easily. I photograph the evening sky, sometimes the (few) people I meet, the things I see, the banalities of life. And hope the tide is right. As it is tonight.

'Let the worst I ever do to you be die.' A little Vona Groarke of a Saturday eve ☕

Aubade

You say that you heard piano chords rustling in the night;
that you woke once and saw me there, and again.
Then I was gone. The sea under your bed said something
like your name: you thought you'd drown.

This morning your fever slinks away
like a dog bested by the hubbub of city-fed
and workaday birdsong come into its own.
You call. You want some toast.

The trees are bone dry; sunlight hunkers behind them.
Your hair fronds when I lift your head
as if out of a sea pulling away. I offer you
the lidded cup. You take it and you drink.

Let the worst I ever do to you be die.
Turn your head sideways, dear, so I can watch you sleep.
Let the morning have us, and the afternoon.
I am here, blessed, capable of more.

Nearly eight (!!!) years since I started making notes for/talking/thinking about this book, and the latest draft has just gone in. It is (hopefully) publishing in May next year in the UK/Ireland with 4th Estate, and June in the US with Scribner.

Term has started and a quiet has settled on the library and the river. Don't forget to take a break and look out of the window. It's too beautiful to miss.
