My friend Sascha is a professional musician and he's lost a viola bow on the way to Heathrow. Please signal boost to help him get it back.

Lost viola bow on the way from Honor Oak Station to Heathrow Terminal 2. The bow slid from its bow case somewhere along the way, possibly on the train. TFL contacted already.
It weighs 68.2 grams and has got a stamped DODD next to the frog. If any info on this, please pm me.

No more putting myself down, I can illustrate/be creative and I will make new work. It’s gonna take some time but I will climb out of this.

A black & white pen and printing ink illustration on white paper of a large Victorian house on a small island surrounded by an estuary. Misty and atmospheric. A figure stands in front of the house.

A watercolour, pen and acrylic illustration of a New York corner. Red brick buildings lit by sunlight create strong angular shapes. A man in a white suit crosses a pedestrian crossing.

A black pen on white paper illustration of a hotel and the liquor store below it. A sign that reads: HOTEL HARTLAND runs vertically down the building, another sign for WOERNERS CIGARS and LIQUORS below it. The hotel is in deep shadow, a man hails a taxi. Across the road a row of shops in bright white sunlight.

A brown ink drawing of Tove Jansson. She has red flowers in her hair, she holds a paint palette and brushes, a canvas with a painting of a sleeping Moomintroll in front of her. Tove wears a striped shirt, belt and skirt, she is smiling, happy and friendly.

I wish we could all continue being vaccinated. I wouldn't mind paying like my flu jab to feel a little safer.

There really are just a couple of tickets left for this talk on Thursday, and that's by squeezing a couple of extra spaces in!
So grab them while you can and come hear Nick and me discuss basically how beer evolved!

Can anyone recommend some histories of old age and the body, specifically those that look at leakiness and focus on the eighteenth-nineteenth centuries? Aware of stuff on the menopause but want to check I'm not missing something!
