Sat on the bench by the clock tower yesterday, waiting for the bus.Unexpectedly the conversation with the person sat next to me moved from the weather to we had both had strokes, we both had a hand that was locked. In that moment I felt a little less alone.

I’m on the William Wilberforce, on the way to Sheffield’s wonderful Off The Shelf festival of words. Sorry for dropping off social media earlier this week. I got sick. Better now. Hope you’re well, wherever you are. Book giveaway will happen next week. 📕

Thank you Diane Keaton. This scene from Woody Allen’s Manhattan (1979) still blows me away. Just breathtaking. RIP legend. ✨❤️🌃 #dianekeaton #ripdianekeaton

She was great in all her movies, but she is probably the best crash out actor I’ve ever seen. I mean, the woman brought dignity and finesse to it. I will always appreciate her bold presentation of womanhood all while wearing whatever the hell she wanted. Rest easy, cool Diane.

Rest in peace, Diane Keaton.

Diane Keaton (1946-2025):

Lovely Diane Keaton. May you rest in peace. What an actress ❤️
