This is Volodymyr Zelensky, President of Ukraine. He is Jewish. His grandfather fought Nazis in WW2. Many of his relatives were killed in the Holocaust. He is standing up to a dictator. Because he is brave. Because he knows what happens if you don't.

I’m still just wowed by The Colourfield on #totp (of which I have a tiny remembrance). What happened to that? Was bewailing a #TerryHall documentary but looks like it already happened… www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/m...

Strange inexplicable things. Love Goldcrests but have only usually glimpsed snatches of them flitting among the branches of pine trees. Today visiting the newly erected headstone for my Mum 2 Goldcrests hopping close to us on the ground & as getting into the car, one hopped onto the wall behind me

Spent the last couple of days dismantling a partition (set up in my studio a few years ago for an exhibition) to open up the space. In doing so rediscovered one of my film / scenery Hollywood paintings & one figure I’d always thought of as David Lynch - unfinished but top right with camera!

This is superb 💫🫡 or as Roman Emperor fantasist & wannabe genius Musk might say “Exactly”. I used to try to give Musk the benefit of the doubt but he’s proven himself beyond doubt to be a dangerously capricious & unreliable, interfering Far Right apologist *******

Happy Birthday to my daughter Jemima who is now 27. 27 It’s one thing coming to terms with your own age but aligning that of your children with it (& part of me has been on hold since I had her at 25) can be real existential crisis material! 🤪

Wondering whether I’m more likely to stick to my New Year’s resolutions if I post them here… so far these are 1. Delete all unnecessary emails as they arrive & not in bulk deletion sessions. Unsubscribe all. 2. Start a substack (✔️) & start REGULARLY writing again & publishing said writing.
