Book shops, especially the small independents, are important gems on our high streets. Places of serendipity and discovery to be valued. Support them if you can.

Last night I watched the fantastic @ledbydonkeys.org by @sohotheatre.bsky.social Walthamstow, and today I watched #Panorama about the Met Police. Thank you for calling corruption, racism, misogyny and violence out.

Ten years ago today, I was off my face on drugs in central London as @uclh.bsky.social removed my cancerous bladder and fitted me with a #Neobladder. Today I celebrate 10 years cancer-free. Thankyou UCLH! #BladderCancer

Crikey! Thames Water bill is going up from £53 to £91 a month! We are a household of two who never take baths. What is going on?

Yes. Initial reports said 500 and I could see 500 from where I was standing.

Anyway, you learn something every day and today I learned my waterproof was not in fact waterproof at all. #Soaked

Thanks to @stagetext.bsky.social for providing captions for Fawlty Towers in the West End last night. @sohotheatre.bsky.social could learn from @nimaxtheatres.bsky.social & get captioned performances on so @elitelipreader.bsky.social & other #Deaf folk can access the new theatre in Walthamstow.

A big week beckons so how better to prepare than a spot of gardening? The dahlias I overwintered with mulch are appearing, the fuschias are in full bloom, the love-in-a-puff I grew from seed are starting to flower, and the dwarf roses are having a second wind.
