Last night I was struck — really, almost radicalized — watching in real time as experts at the heights of their careers boosted emotionally satisfying narratives that were pretty much entirely wrong. https://t.co/8WoMQvt4xh

Marks and Spencer have a glass COLIN THE CATERPILLAR Christmas ornament.

"I don't think I should like to have the telephone in my establishment. Once the first excitement is over, it must be a perfect racket going on all the time."

[Marcel Proust @Daily_Proust]

I was beginning to learn the exact value of the language, spoken or mute, of aristocratic affability, an affability that is happy to shed balm upon the sense of inferiority of those towards whom it is directed, though not to the point of dispelling that inferiority

One of my favourite exhibits in @NtlMuseumsScot are the funerary model figures from #Egypt - created to ensure the deceased had all their needs provided in the afterlife. I just want to animate them like Bagpuss and the Clangers! #history #heritage

The 'girls' are coming back to Wanstead Park #EppingForest. A small herd of English Longhorn cows will arrive 24 October to carry out important conservation grazing in the Park over the winter months.

These are the board schools - built by local school boards from 1870 - 1902. Sherlock Holmes saw them being built and thought they were beacons of a new England.

Will the schools we build today last as long and inspire as much hope?

Stone Mini Market is the best little shop in all of London. If it closes, I'm gonna leave this goddamn city 😵. If you like your food sustainable, then come to Leytonstone to check it out. It has an incredible range of beers as well!
