A memorable day for China.
We’ll see about Britain.

As China unfurls its flag 🇨🇳 on the Moon, Britain can unfurl a fish 🐠 on the EU negotiating table. If only a #RedHerring could be found at Whitehall!

All the ticking clocks did little to time here. Here they hung on their hill over the inland sea, and seemed as safe as young swallows under an eave. But fate is not an eagle, it creeps like a rat.

'They crossed the river while Miss Fisher was speaking. In a sort of slow flash, Henrietta had her first open view of Paris - watery sky, wet light, light water, frigid, dark, inky buildings, spans of bridges, trees.'

She is just so good. She was one of the writers who made me want to be a writer. I particularly love how she keeps the camera incredibly close for page after page. And then she knows the exact moment to suddenly pull the camera right back. The effect can be astonishing.

"The flutter and click of machinery streamed out across the theatre, like the terrified wings of a bird imprisoned between two window-panes - it gave him the same stretched sensation of horror and helplessness.”

From the short story, Dead Mabelle by Elizabeth Bowen
