Hello 👋🏻 new followers.
I’m mostly about music, gigs, film, tv, art, craft, photography, travel, London, Europe, languages, and cats. This time it’s definitely going to be more cats than politics.

So love wobbegongs. Everything is good about the wobbegong. Its name. Its flattened Oscar the Grouch face. Its frondy bits. Its lazy life as a hungry rug. And it’s a shark. Outstanding animal 10/10
The Tasselled Wobbegong is a master of disguise that can eat a fish almost as big as itself in one gulp. It's classified as a shark, but when it lays on the sea floor it looks like a harmless rug if you manage to see it. But with powerful jaws and sharp teeth they are no fish to mess with.

Very sad to hear Martin Parr has died. I felt honoured to welcome him into my home just a couple of months ago. A great artist and a true gent.

It’s really simple…
- Cap all political donations
- Ban foreign donations
- Strict conflict‑of‑interest & anti‑corruption laws with penalties
- No titles, honours or peerages for donors
- No govt contracts for donors
- Publish every donation/lobby meeting
…that’ll do it.

Zack P: When are we going to have a cost of living special...?
Fiona Bruce: ...we talk about cost living every week..not sure why we need a special programme for it.
You talk about immigration every week. Yet, here we are, with a question time special on...immigration. Not sure that logic follows.

Not trying to burst any bubbles; but Spotify is over.
They are airing ICE recruitment ads, the CEO has been investing in military/AI tech, they barely pay their artists; sometimes a percentage of a cent per stream, they promote “fake/AI artist” playlists, and there’s major concerns about data use.
