Ekin-Su and Davide are too high fashion for PLT or ASOS. I demand a series of Dolce & Gabbana ‘Summertime in Tuscany” styled billboard ads, Davide will be the next face of John Paul Gaultier cologne. Ekin-Su has the potential to be the UK’s own Julia Fox.

We have been without hot water since Friday and have just learnt from the boiler man that he can’t fix our boiler because:
- It’s the worst he’s ever seen
- It’s from 1998
- It’s full of dead bees
It would be an awful situation but the dead bees are objectively funny.

Someone retweeted this again, so shouting into the void that there are only 5 of Szabó’s novels that have been translated into English and that feels like a crying shame / missed opportunity!

I despise this whole framing of the The Royal Family's press team as bumbling, caught-off-guard-but-wanting-to-be-nice. It's designed to put Meghan and Harry is a bad light and to paint the Royal Family's press machine as gentle and well wishing. They know what they're doing.

Totally floored by Philip Guston at the Tate. Took the day off to see it before it closed and I am so glad I did. Amazing to see the way figurative form slowly wrestled its way into his abstract works. Feels like he was called to paint the way he did. Glorious!

I feel like Faye’s doubts about Teddy were coming from a place of insecurity, almost readying herself for the prospect of Teddy not being loyal. Which makes the producers choice of photo, and her being pushed into the arms of Mr Veneers all the more infuriating

I often think about how Derren Brown was allowed to do a TV show where he hypnotised a member of the public, artificially created a realistic world-wide zombie apocalypse and had him wake up in an army hospital, convincing the person that his loved ones were most likely dead.

Mentally making a list of artists' whose work is most tempting to touch. Serra is up there - Hepworth too? Auerbach for the texture. Am also gripped by the urge to lick Epstein's 'Jacob and the Angel' whenever I see it in the Tate Brit. Big raspberry ripple hunk of alabaster.
