If like me you refuse to accept the Home Secretary speaks for the majority of people in this country RT this widely

Jane Kenyon's advice to writers: Be a good steward of your gifts. Protect your time. Feed your inner life. Avoid too much noise. Read good books, have good sentences in your ears. Be by yourself as often as you can. Walk. Take the phone off the hook. Work regular hours.

I'm rarely starstruck by museum exhibits, but these are the *actual* toys owned by Christopher Robin, which inspired Winnie-the-Pooh. Thanks to the team at the New York Public Library for taking such good care of them. @NYPL

Rishi Sunak is considering letting Thames Water raise their bills 47% to pay the interest on their debts. That will force over 2 million households to pay for their fake 'profits' or go without Water. RT if the Conservatives can shove this idea where the sun doesn't shine
