RIGHT. I'm a divvy. I've managed to get the bottom RIGHT. I'm a divvy. I've managed to get the bottom of a percolator stuck in a mug. Like, it's really wedged. How do I get it out? I've tried tapping, experiments with water, ice and steam, attempt with veg oil for lube etc. Is the only solution smashing the mug?

More #garden #pleasures. Can't help thinking that More #garden #pleasures. Can't help thinking that the peony is just being dramatic. Not pictured: newly planted Californian lilac, euphorbia and fuschia that either are sad about lack of sun or the cats are pissing them off. Also not pictured: the massive cat todds that appear every time I prepare a bed, pissing me right off. Finally, also not pictured:the flea aphids infesting the courgettes, tomatoes and corn, over which I have rubbed homemade insecticide today.

Four years. Four notes. 1. I still occasionally Four years. Four notes. 1. I still occasionally have the feeling that I've forgotten to do something, and realise that it's some sense that I should call her, and then I have to remember that I can't and I feel sillier and sillier every time it happens. 2. I have a lot of fun doing impressions of her for people who never knew her, but it scares me because she was much more complicated than that and I don't want to remember her as a caricature (despite the fact that she often behaved in public like a caricature). 3. I feel like there's a lot of "what would she have done" in this horrible situation we're living through but it puts me on edge, because she's dead and that's it (at least in terms of what I can experience) and she never lived this weird bit of life. 4. It's interesting that I am becoming more like her, like many women become more like their mothers, sort of released by her death from the burden of finding her annoying or finding the likeness alarming, and, at the same time, I am becoming somehow less like her because her ongoing, updated influence isn't part of my day-to-day.

I then called Lizzie and together we realised that it is the perfect canvas for these excellent @tspooner0 posters, newly framed and poorly hung.
