Hello,
This week went by in a blur. I went to Brighton for a festival event, and took a little extra time to see a good old friend (I wrote about it in a guest post here). The next evening, I caught a brilliant salon event, including a great talk from Annebella Pollen about the development of nudism in the UK. This is exactly the kind of thing I like to do when I get a rare moment to myself.
After a recommendation on the-week-before-last’s essays thread, I’ve just started reading Happily by Sabrina Orah Mark, which is just so, so good: smart, surreal, heartfelt. And I’ve been re-watching Futurama with Bert. I still love it, after all these years. I sometimes think I’m Leila, sometimes more like Bender the robot.
You’ll be pleased to know that I also interviewed Catherine Coldstream all over again, and you’ll be getting the result as a podcast very soon. It made me really, really miss recording my podcast.
So that me! What’s been capturing your stray attention lately? I’m excited to hear your cultural picks and wild passtimes!

P.S. I am still waiting to be flooded with your haiku after today’s post. Go on, give it a go…
P.P.S. I’m appearing at Backstory Bookshop in Balham tomorrow night, and at the British Library’s Food Season on Saturday 26th.
