On seeing my disposable camera antics my mother, the mega-hoarder, has dug out my very first camera. I think I was gifted it aged 7?! I don't even know if you can get this style of film any more, it's that ancient.

Not many phone pics this trip - thought it'd be fun to take a couple of disposables. Especially keen to see what the Kodak Tri-X400 will do, I hear good things. Tbh, I haven't used a disposable in decades so I'll be happy if I haven't got my finger in every shot. Here's a phone pic in the meantime

Good grief, imagine being Zelenskyy - having done the things he's had to do these past three years, the weight of his country on his shoulders - and then being spoken to like this by this lot of bullyboy buffoons. Utterly disgraceful.

Those elasticated waistband trousers are really coming into their own on this trip to HK. Someone's going to have to roll me on to the plane.

There’s a Bengali version of “they lived happily ever after” that goes আমার কথাটি ফুরোলো, নটে গাছটি মুড়োলো।. It means “here the story ends, and the spinach is eaten by the goat”

Glazed some plates in pottery class, wanted to make them look ancient. Can't wait to see how they'll look after firing.

This podcast is absolutely mind-boggling. I don't know how it'll play out but how brave of Hannah to share her story so publicy. I hope it gives her back some control and I hope it encourages the police to take these cases more seriously. Whoever's behind this needs some serious help.

Some common writing advice is to open with a hook and to kill your darlings, but Peter Pan teaches us that you can also be successful by opening with your Darlings and killing your Hook.

Heartened to see the peaceful protests in the US. Longing for the day we don't have to see Trump or Musk's faces on the news any longer. Until then, solidarity from England. #USprotests
