In the UK Al Murray is known as a standup comedian albeit a very good one. Apparently this is a very interesting book with some insights.
There’s a cookery show in Malta on the TV. My wife is literally shouting at the screen correcting the English chef’s pronunciation.
My new pendant arrived today. A hand gripping a garnet ‘mudlarked’ out of the River Thames. I like that both of these were made by individuals and both take inspiration from rivers.
