Painting, drawing, printmaking. Also music, food, and long walks on wild moors.

Move slowly and make things.

I don’t know how the entire country doesn’t curl up behind the sofa in embarrassment at their leader but apparently they don’t.

Does the Trump’s government decide who wins the Oscars?

I dunno, I’m *assuming* that’s not a serious question.

Look everyone! Macron did not call Trump a c__t in a text message! Let the hot takes flow.

Oh, by the way, people are saying there’s a major solar storm going on at the moment so high likelihood of more Northern Lights tonight. If the cloud clears where you are then worth a look out, at least. Especially if you are somewhere without street lighting?

Last night was rather a fairie experience. On my walk through dark Devon lanes, intermittent pools of mist at ground level so the reds and bright cerulean blues from above filled everything with a hazy pearlescent glow. And shiny green above Dartmoor just to the north from horizon to horizon.

Lad's hungover. Popped the local for a couple last night with Brigitte after a long day, a couple turned into "fuck it", and them only leaving the pub when the landlord interrupted them singing to remind them they all had homes to go to.

International rules based order collapsing and its Macron giving a speech like this - inexplicably wearing sunglasses - that has truly sent me over the edge

Channel4 news reporting that he strode away from the podium, jumped into his Rafale jet and flew off to do battle with the massive alien spacecraft.

I have an RP English accent and in cosmopolitan bits of the States like NY and Boston I’ve had people do that pained ‘I’m finding it hard to understand what you’re saying’ face and ask me if I’m French. Or German. So I’m taking that bit of the story with a massive pinch of salt.

I’m afraid this is true.

Trust is hard earned, quickly destroyed and seldom fully won back.

I’ve never managed to see it anywhere in the UK before. A long time ago we saw it absolutely spectacularly in the north of Norway one freezing February. Last night wasn’t as extravagant but still pretty good, and also magically otherworldly, fizzing around over Dartmoor.

Medical examiner: ‘An autopsy is not required in cases like this.’

Snaps shut laptop.

Trump can’t be bought? What hilarious nonsense: ALL of the evidence says the opposite.

‘A lot of good people are on a hook over Donald Trump.’

On the other hand, a great many much better people have never been on the hook over Donald Trump.

Elevator pitch: ‘A permanently angry man just can’t be told.’

Studio exec: ‘Yep, this is an evergreen plot.’
