What I did on my holidays in 2024: visit Odysseus’ Palace on Ithika before the rush.
Such a brilliant pic of Hockney and Freud! Ripe for a caption competition!
Like this pic (by Linda McCartney?) of Paul McCartney driving up Tufnell Park Road and reflected in rear view mirror. Boston Arms in the distance and distinct lack of trees.
Cats are strangely aloof and needy at the same time. Had to provide this one with a cushion near me to quieten her plaintive creaky meows as couldn’t accommodate her on my my lap while reading
Some lovely flowers for m’birthday. (Thanks @clairemelamed.bsky.social !)
What to say to a Rock God when you bump into them from a flight from NYC? ‘Thank you for the music’, even shrieked in young Plant style, doesn’t quite cut it.
Raoul Dufy one of m’favourite artists. Love that he looked like a well to do banker !
Bavette at m’local…. £22.50… very nice, but remember it being around £15 a few years ago (and olives work out at about 70p each!). I’m also finding the police looking a lot younger than they used to.
