Now, what I want to know are the chances that enough of the elected Tories from the opposite ends of the party defect to LD/Reform during their inevitable period of infighting and blame that LD can take over as official opposition. That would shake things up even more...

Saw Hadestown in London and the weekend and obsessed with how amazing it was. UK Orpheus was perfectly sweet and naive with a lovely clear voice, which I suppose is what you want Orpheus to be, but UK Hades was utterly mesmerising. If you get the chance to see it, go! youtu.be/kaWFoMVY8os?...

As someone who occasionally suggests, not entirely tongue in cheek, that the National Trust should repaint some of their ancient white statues to match the original bright polychromy, I was delighted by the repainted Tudor panelling at St Nicholas' Priory in Exeter yesterday. The past had colour!

Fascinating article. Roughly a year ago, I surprisingly found myself absorbed in a museum gallery in Lisbon watching a film about the ubiquitous white monobloc chairs, and a project run to convert them into wheelchairs in developing countries. Intriguing re-use. Oh, and my 5 y-o was enthralled too.
Absolutely top-notch holiday weekend reading, not just for the fantastic photos but the chitchat between Julianne Moore and the curators and designers for each piece.

Me, every year: Oh look, the first broad beans. Spring is here. What a treat - I must get a huge bag so we have plenty for dinner tonight. Me, after half an hour of podding: How do we only have a spoonful of broad beans after all that?

So for world book day this year I ended up drawing blue vertical lines onto a t-shirt at 10.30 last night, only for the t-shirt to not even show in the photos! Meet @maryrobinette.bsky.social 's Molly on the Moon...

Probably more likely to reply to other people than post things myself, but leaving this blank is starting to make ME wonder if I'm real, so I thought I should at least populate things a bit more while I'm trying to find all of the people I used to enjoy following elsewhere.
