Out at dinner last night talking about Bond my mother insisted Sean Connery was Welsh. I said no he was Scottish you may be thinking of Richard Burton?

She doubled down on Welsh. I asked if she’d seen him in ZARDOZ. The Boorman? The boots!!

And to this BBC writer I’ve been reading today I say, no notes:

I was friends with Timothy Leary in the 90s, and he was adamant about one thing: they cannot take your joy unless you let them ✨. He smiled in every prison photo. He chose to shine the light the world needed during those dark years of the war and the draft. The light wins over darkness - always.

Rest in peace to my mentor Tom Robbins, my penpal of over 30years. American humorist and novelist.

“Disbelief in magic can force a poor soul into believing in government

I will always fondly remember watching The Invention of Lying with my 8yr old and how angry he was with me when he found out it wasn’t a true story.

The most autistic thing I do is carry a rock with me at all times. I have since I was a kid. When I travel the world I’ll find a rock, and carry it home. I’m almost 50, and I have an entire drawer of rocks. I can’t remember where I picked most of them up.

And this rock is in my purse now.
