Much as I love The Stranglers, I could really do without ever seeing this photo again. JJ’s visual pivot from sexy bass god to divorced dad crisis pose. The poor rest of the band.

Also, you won’t find a cooler set of Christmas cards
I’m not doing Black Friday this year.
I’d rather be honest with you than try to compete with big brands.
Every purchase genuinely makes a difference to my tiny business.
Shop independent this Christmas.

Ah RIP Udo Kier. My favourite actor, probably the most beautiful man ever, always fascinating, and absolutely hilarious. Photo from ‘an evening with’ in Toronto years ago (where Barbara Steele was an enigmatic presence in the dark at the back of the theatre - such a fun eve)

Here's a little reminder of our starter pack, celebrating #IrishDesign.
Lots of lovely things to buy, and you will feel all squishy inside for supporting small Irish business.

Panic. Just got given someone else’s Uniqlo coat leaving the hairdresser. They had NOTHING in their pockets?? Makes me realise my pocket contents far more exotic: Roncesvalles BIA business card, Italian tissues from Ireland, Canadian lip balm, a conker. Trident gum wrapper.

It’s fascinating the way society is determined to pretend the lockdown era never happened and just glides past all the reminders.
I've been collecting pandemic era signs that nobody can be bothered to take down or remove. There's something grimly fascinating about this. Putting them up was urgent and important; removing them is nobody's job. How long will some of these hang around?

Buckle up - because this now amounts to a direct and deliberate attack on our country and its cultural sovereignty. Which side our politicians take - Trump's or the BBC's - over the coming days and weeks will speak volumes about their patriotism.

Every time I see a cool statue and then realise it’s an Antony Gormley I remember he coves himself naked in cling film with a tiny breathing hole for the cast and really I think this may be a bit less about art honestly
