Happy Monday and happy March, fam! I’ve been feeling a little under the weather lately, both physically and mentally, so I’m taking it easy this week. But it’s a new month and spring is so very near, I can smell it 🌸

I was tagged by @circuitdelasarthe to share my lock screen, home screen and the last song I listened to. Thank you!

I tag @nimravillia @selfishjean and everyone who feels like it.

My home screen changes every now and then, my lock screen has been A.A. Gill making art for ages.

Last song I listened to is "Cool" by Gwen Stefani.

If you want to understand the workings of the male brain & still laugh out loud, read Uncle Dysfunctional by AA Gill. + thanks @BodyFrockUK!

Freedom of speech is what all other human rights and freedoms balance on. That may sound like unspeakable arrogance when applied to restaurant reviews or gossip columns. But that’s not the point. Journalism isn’t an individual sport like books and plays; it’s a team effort. The power of the press is cumulative. It has a conscious human momentum. You can – and probably do – pick up bits of it and sneer or sigh or fling them with great force at the dog. But together they make up the most precious thing we own.

The first time I met Jennifer was at a demonstration of filleting skills given by Anton Mosimann, a hygienically bowtied, precise gent. We both sat in the front row. She kept up a whispered commentary. Now, Jennifer's whisper could be used to guide supertankers through fog. She has simply no volume control ... "Look at him, he's going to wash his hands again. I've never seen someone wash so often. Look, he's doing it again! Do you think he's a gynaecologist? Or perhaps because he's Swiss. Does he think he's Pontius Pilate? He certainly crucified that fish."
