Been down to that London. A bewildering confusion of people talking into fresh air, moustaches, inexplicable Guinness drinking and poke bowls. Always changing apart from the stuff that doesn’t. Love it.

Took a break from my Pepys walk around the City to look at this delightful building while listening to @grindrod.bsky.social ‘s excellent Monstrosities Mon Amour podcast. Appreciated the Waterhouse mention, first thing I thought was Po-Mo Manchester Town Hall. Can’t believe it might be demolished.

A little earlier, descending back into town after an afternoon’s walk; it’s light, it’s mild, there’s an inkling of oncoming spring, there’s a warm welcome awaiting in the pub down the hill. The antidote to the state of things.

Cary Grant's birthday, which means it must be time for the puppy in the pocket photograph again. Taken during filming for 1933's "The Eagle and the Hawk", I believe.

Bill Hader doing an impression of Oliver Reed explaining the difference between acting on stage & acting on film. Love how he cracks Paul Giamatti up.

View from Mart Towers this morning. I do love the Calder Valley; it’s not entirely rural, or urban or even suburban, but a lovely mishmash of the beautiful and mundane.
