I once again find myself wondering what this country would look like today if the Green Party had been given even half the media attention that Farage’s various vanity projects got over the last ten years.

Forget James Burke and his space shuttle. Look at John Motson's precision timing when he introduces You Can Call Me Al. He's like a ninja master.

Big, somewhat leftfield news: I am kicking off a podcast with the wonderful @emmanewman.bsky.social under the title Starship Alexandria. It's a cosy book and film recommendation show where we take it in turns to rec things to one another and discuss them.

Got to chat about one of my all-time favourite films, as well as getting some fascinating insight from Martin, whom I could listen to all day long on this. Don’t miss it.

happy #smallpoemsunday! here are three morsels i excreted earlier

three #haiku on a vacant lot:

tree-of-heaven thrusts
through the ravaged rubble-clods;
later, passionfruit.
.....
like extracted teeth,
demolitions all expose
neighboring decay.
.....
what we seek to tame's
inexorable advance;
each of us will drown.
me scrawling these with a platinum curidas fountain pen a photo of an overgrown vacant lot. hard to see but the rear of the building visible has a fascinating network of pipes etc. that would usually be hidden (thus the second haiku about extracted teeth)

If anyone I know is still on Twitter- it's where I used to do #RememberedMums. I can't get in now (deleted account) so if you could mention the reading-out-of names is here now, that'd be lovely, cheers.

superb letter to The Observer
letter to The Observer 2.3.25 "The absent sausage" Nigel Slater's mouthwatering recipe for sausages with spinach and cannellini beans was accompanied by a succulent full-page photograph (Magazine, last week). However, it depicted only five sausages, while the recipe indicated six. Am I the only one who wants to know what happened to the other one? Verne Sanderson Tenterden, Kent
