I’ve just spilled almost an entire cup of coffee over the table I’m sitting at in the library. Now have soaking wet gloves and hat. On the plus side, essay has 1,500 more words than it did this morning & I smell like an espresso, which isn’t such a bad thing.

Goodnight from Faith Milbury, noticing the Dark Glam night at The Shambala Rooms is more akin to Murky Garishness. Goodnight from Sadie Ringrose, wishing yet again that her second sight wasn’t interfering with her attempts to enjoy first dates. Goodnight from Hookland.

The Small has gone to a birthday party so I’ve seized the opportunity to visit @librarywales.bsky.social for their Portrait & Power exhibition. Lovely to see @jonpountney1.bsky.social on the walls, & I’ve had an introduction to the work of Sue Williams & Taiye Omokore. A cwtch for my brain.
