I misread that as Downton and thought, yeah, that is the wrong thing to say.

So good, I’m still smiling thinking about it. I will never see an Orwell book now without thinking of a furious Pet Clark. Chapeau!

By the time I got to ‘fuck this shit, thinks Petula Clark’ I was laughing out loud. Excellent work!

I thoroughly enjoyed this episode. Peak Backlisted! Also, the Donald Crowhurst book has gone on my list now and the book piles grow ever higher. ‘Will we never be set free?’

When I see misspelled shopfronts, posters and what not I always think why haven’t the sign makers picked it up, at the least spell checked it. Isn’t that part of the job?

Just now, the last of the evening light, deep blue sky, a buttery crescent moon through the trees and a tawny owl swoops past the kitchen window. Suburban delights!

Did you see this today? It’s quite moving.

‘There was comedy at all times’: Andrew O’Hagan on 15 years of funny, frank and champagne-fuelled friendship with Edna O’Brien
In the last decades of her life, the two novelists became close friends. He recalls their intense bond, their last trip to Ireland and her memories of being romanced by Richard Burton

Great photos, and now I’ve got Tom Waits’s Murder in the Red Barn stuck in my head..

Godspeed to Danny Thompson. He added so much grace, beauty and guile to so many outstanding pieces of music (you could live a pretty nourishing musical life listening solely to the records he contributed to.) And an unfailingly entertaining and soulful conversationalist. One of the greats 💛

Just listened to the last Locklisted so I’ll take yours and Nicky’s advice and get on with it. Or as Macca said on Get Back, DIN.

Excellent. Chillout getting the shoeing it so desperately deserves. And thanks for compiling the serious meditative list, plenty of unfamiliar stuff for me to investigate.

It’s almost as if the French system is run for the convenience of its passengers. Some kind of foreign madness I suppose.
