I’ve been in a rut, I’ve been in a rut, I’ve had a eureka moment. That’s how my brain goes, and how’s it gone today, in fact, this very morning.

I channeled all my wittiness into this piece and now I am left zombified as I write this caption (or maybe it’s the very busy train home and no seat reservations slowly pickling my brain). But if you have a niggling feeling that your twenties are utter chaos of never really knowing which way is up or down, or it’s going to be a day of magic or mundanity, this is a piece for you.

This is a glorious and powerful collection, thank you @emilygracewalters and @lucywriters

This week I’ve been in the countryside, not much to report. My weekend consisted of a lengthy wander around my village and the next soaking up the sunshine. Lots of dogs and people saying hello.

Even as he approached his 14th birthday, our beloved Alfie left us as swiftly as he made himself diva number 1 in our household. He was bouncing around on Sunday and gone by the end of Monday.

$Just a few of my favourite pieces from the Musée d’Orsay - I’m always fascinated by the fractures you seen in art historical practice following the Impressionists. Some attempt to reject modernity completely, others embrace it and critique its social codes. As political painters go, my favourite has to be Manet (he came before the impressionists but always tangoed with them slightly). But for colour and composition, I find Gauguin and then the group called the Nabis who follow on from the School of Pont Aven (Gauguin’s lil cult), really fascinating. Émile Bernard and Paul Sérusier are two artists you should check out, for example.$

I’m in Paris! Let me tell you this trip has been good for the soul.

Personal writing stretches one muscle, and writing/talking about art, another.
