He’s like that princess, the one with the pea.

The BBC are accidentally running the subtitles to Mrs Marple over the Mercury Prize, and it’s rather wonderful. A few of lines could plausibly have been written by Jarvis.

Good morning.

A black and white woodcut print of a fleet of witches on broomsticks flying over a church at night.

Took a picture of a mushroom to identify it but then I touched it & knew instantly. That is a rock

En man står och väntar på en gata, mitt i en strimma av ljus. En man på elsparkcykel åker längs en solupplyst gata. En tjej går och läser i en blå bok i morgonljuset. Runt omkring är det skugga. En man med glasögon sitter och arbetar innanför ett öppet fönster.

Fabulous cover of Kate Bush’s Army Dreamers that crossed my timeline today (and really made me think about the lyrics). I particularly like the way the chorus is handled by two ‘arguing’ voices

This seems an appropriate era to post. 2020-ish.
Me, a woman then in her thirties, with a short dark bobbed hairstyle, baby bangs, a lace-collared floral dress, cardigan, and quite a serious expression. (In the background, a framed Tindersticks poster which has hung in my various bathrooms since 1997 and is hanging outside my current bathroom even now.)

Quatre autres.
Catholic Church in the 20th. Eglise Saint Gabriel. Modernist vibes - white building with simple bright blue cross. Two tombs in Père Lachaise cemetery. They look like Art Nouveau TARDISes or toilet cubicles. Very pretty. One has a rust-coloured door (possibly actual rust) with rust-coloured ivy creeping over its stone; one has a green door (what’s that secret you’re keeping?) with green ivy creeping over its stone. Could it have been done deliberately? I liked it, either way. Carrousel de Saint-Pierre at the foot of Sacré-Couer, made famous by Amélie. A metal handle set into a wall and painted to match, with two be-lashed eye stickers above. It gives an air of Mr Snuffleupagus.

Held the door for someone today and she said MERCI! in a thick Liverpudlian accent.

Un peu plus de Paris.
A big red stylised cat-shaped arch between buildings. There’s a white-haired chaps going down some steps towards it and another chap carrying his small child beneath it. Beyond the cat is a green and white sign saying HOTEL, and in front of the cat is a Narnian lamppost. A stone sculpture/carving on a church, of a woman clasping her arm behind her back and a man (a shepherd, one presumes) with a stick, leaning on a wall in front of some sheep. They are framed by pink, red, and green foliage in the churchyard. Shakespeare and Company, arguably the most famous bookshop in the world. I have wanted to come here for a very very long time. It’s the only shop I’ve ever queued to get into (except for GAME in Scunthorpe the night Call of Duty 4 was released) Sunset over the Seine

Autumn doesn't do much that isn't brown, but it has its moments.
Acer seeds, bright red. Flouncy dahlias, purple callicarpa berries, pink schizostylis, purple salvia. Michaelmas daisies and gaura. Lemon-peel clematis flowers and seed heads.

The most beautiful google review I’ve ever read. They should delete all the other ones
Very memorable. Exquisite ingredients. When eating small fish, I seemed to imagine that I was a polar bear eating fish on the glacier.
