Tilda Swinton on the AIDS crisis and why fluidity isn't frightening

https://fed.brid.gy/r/https://www.advocate.com/news/tilda-swinton-aids-losses-fluidity

I finished reading #DerekJarman #ModernNature last night, but as I approached the end, I realised ( he has got lots of books) there is another diary that follows on from this, so I've ordered the cheapest second hand one I could find. Awaiting delivery.

I thought a bit about the old days and libraries... I haven't gotten a book out the library for quite a while now.

The book has promoted some family conversations, as it was written 89/90 and includes throwbacks to the past ( WW2 onwards)

I've been to two #funerals this year, and I'm dreading the more inevitably to come.

But NO ONE should ever have to attend FOURTY THREE funerals in a year, unless they work in a funeral home. That's almost one funeral a week.

Summer luxury is sitting in the garden til late, reading and waiting for stars.

Winter luxury is waking, returning to bed with a coffee, to read, as the day gets lighter. ( Includes a cat)

Still enjoying Derek Jarman Modern Nature, as he weaves his life while living in Dungeness.

Here, the wind has dropped, at the moment. DJ comments have reminded me our council have a consultation currently about future of town centre. I must have a look at that today.

I finally started the #DerekJarman book, I bought it ages ago #ModernNature

I don't know if it helps the mind visual that I have seen the house, and the landscape of Dungeness, which is a most bizarre place.
