It’s gorgeous in every way, and she looks stunning.

I don’t covet much, but would love just once to have a reason to wear something as astonishing as that….! Wow!
I was rather hoping it had last been seen in the Louvre. That would make such a great story.

Jon Batiste up here making me big smile in the morning. Bless!!
I think part of the problem is ‘subscribers’. Back in the day when I bought an actual newspaper, I made a decision daily and if their editorial position pissed me off, I could switch, or not buy. Now I’m subscribing, I’m paying (almost without noticing) for content I sometimes don’t even see.
One of the things I love about my dad is that he’s a (retired) librarian, so I can always buy him a book. It doesn’t actually matter if he likes it or not. He’ll put it in the correct place and it’ll be there if he - or anyone else - should happen to need it and he’ll be happy.

Even if he has 2.
I feel a bit sorry for the Louvre, but I’m enjoying the memeable certainty that it’s all down to a pesky criminal mastermind penguin.
I’m feeling this for you. Sending love. x
Even more pleased to report that this subtle addition nails it!

Although … I’m wondering if it errs a little on the sweet side? And I’m planning a second one with a couple of drops of Barrel-Aged Whisky Bitters to give an extra edge.
Pleased to confirm this substitution is a success!

Difford’s has this great variant on the classic Boulevardier, so it’s not the best time to find out I’m out of Malibu. (Looking at you 20yo! 👀)

But I have a bottle of Nocino, so I’m trying another variant on the theme: the Sorrento Boulevardier!

I am! And I agree; that’s why it seems to important to challenge; this is barmy stuff.
The racism, bigotry and hostility this would require is appalling to think of, but I’m also just boggling at what a dull and insipid country this vision would create in terms of culture.

How could anyone possibly want this?
Sunday Times interview Tory "rising star" Katie Lam

She is clear she wants lots of legal migrants to be told to "go home" so as "to leave a mostly but not entirely culturally coherent group of people"

(The interviewer suggests she is scrapping ILR or stripping people of it)
Haha! “Not my cat”. I’m sure all the cats in Sicily are your cats now! 😻
It’s glorious. I mean, if you’re gonna make a mistake, might as well go all in!
