@mattgreencomedy Fleas? Rabies, surely.
@Grindrod Great to see the Penelope Lively in the list, it’s a book I’ve been meaning to reread for ages.
Would add What Was Lost https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/894056.What_Was_Lost, which dives deep into the strange world of the British shopping mall. There was a LOT in there that I recognised.

Instead of a traditional cremation, they’ll be parking the casket below the Walkie-Talkie on a sunny day, and waiting for nature to take its course. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-latin-america-64848302

12s are very useful in terms of packaging, logistics etc: you can split 12 by 2, 3, 4 and 6, which makes a dozen a very flexible base to work from. 10 can only be halved, so I’d argue the 12x table is still invaluable.

Philip Downer on Instagram: "The Great Wall of Streatham: Corner Fielde is a cliff face of an apartment building, an austere eight-storey stack of Crittall and Deco-lite brick detailing, which debuted in 1937. Promoted as “Mayfair in Streatham”, the block replaced a villa (latterly a school) dating from the 1820s, and was a central element of Streatham’s soaraway 30s growth. Architects R Toms & Partners were also responsible for the earlier Ealing Village (hat tip to @londonsuburbia) as well as Streatham’s own Leigham Hall Mansions. I suspect that Osbert Lancaster was familiar with their work… #cornerfielde #rtoms #rtomsandpartners #apartmentblock #blockofflats #artdecoarchitecture #artdecoapartment #artdecolondon #1930sarchitecture #1930shome #1930slondon #artdecohome #crittallwindows #osbertlancaster #londonsuburbs #suburbanlondon"
