So good to see this again – possibly my favourite Hitchcock movie about a tennis player who gets mixed up in murder

“So many of the things in our world lead us to despair. It seems to me that the final symptom of despair is silence, and that storytelling is one of the sustaining arts . . . the very act of being a writer seems to me to be an optimistic act.”—Tobias Wolff, born OTD in 1945

“I had no idea London belonged to you.” Wonderfully quirky film about a young man on the make in Swinging London that plays like an Ealing version of Ripley

“A holiday wouldn’t do any good, or make any difference. I should have to take myself with me.” Not quite sure how this book is so much better the second time around. Sadder, funnier, more layered. Books, eh.

So as well as giving the world “God Only Knows”, Brian Wilson appears to have been the inspiration for Lebowski 🙏

Depressing to read a 68% drop in swift numbers over the last few years. My own crew zooming over local rooftops are definitely fewer in number than 2024. If you can, instal ‘Swift Bricks’ for nesting & plant teasel, scabious, catmint & field maples to attract insects www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

From the archive for Barbara Pym, #BornOnThisDay in 1913, my thoughts on QUARTET IN AUTUMN. A poignant, bittersweet portrayal of loneliness, ageing and the passing of time. Probably Pym’s masterpiece in a very strong field. #BOTD #BookSky 💙📚 #BarbaraPym jacquiwine.wordpress.com/2022/01/11/a...
