Culture is everywhere!

Now reading the brilliant Juniper Tree Burning by Goldberry Long, who will be my professor in September. It's a great story, told just so you're dying to turn the next page, and the writing is excellent. I also received a copy of the 2005 Acta Victoriana in the post today, and am really enjoying most of it. Now stressing out about weddings and immigrations. Real life has too many technicalities. My trip to Sainsburys today was a celebration of colour and taste. A woman asked me if I wanted anything else at the deli, and I said "No thank you" and I was thrilled with my ability to give a polite response. It's been awhile.

Due to over-zealousness, there is a £50 credit on my Mastercard and I intend to spend part of it on Waterstones 3 for 2s! Oh England, I do love you.

Donkey worker's rights at Blackpool Beach. On preserving the memory of Gwendolyn McEwen. The ever-brilliant India Knight on smut packaged as good fun.
