What's the problem with the word faeces? Difficult to spell or say? I'm just fed up with everyone from GPs to Radio 4 talking about POO. What next? "Please supply a sample of your wee"? Who started this infantilising nonsense? 🤬

Went to see Elektra in Brighton on Friday and I have to say we were blown away. (I admit we didn't know who Brie Larson was 😀, but the queue to get in was a riot!) Great atmosphere in the theatre, wonderful chorus, a very exciting and moving performance. elektraplay.com

A brilliant night last night in Lewes for Needlewriters, feeling inspired hearing clarebest.bsky.social reading from her wonderful poetry collections. Such an endlessly creative person.

A surprise to me too: usually innovative work doesn't get a look in. (As to British or Irish innovative work... well...)

After the very enlightening katyevansbush.bsky.social workshops on the TS Eliot Prize shortlisted books at the weekend, I'm now deciding which of them I'd like to read in full.... certainly Peter Gizzi's winning collection. Also Gboyega Odubanjo's 'Adam', and ...? #poetry #TSEliotPrize
