Seems like the Strait of Hormuz is only open when the stock market is.

Beautiful news 🔥🔥🔥🔥

Another shout out to Victor Glover as Artemis II's pilot. While coming back in for their re-entry, NASA mentioned repeatedly how clean and perfect their trajectory was.

This is the massive turnout for last night’s “anti regime” concert in Heroes Square, Budapest, ahead of tomorrow’s crucial Hungarian elections. Tens of thousands chanted “Russians go home”. #Orban

Hurrah - and thank you so much !

Congratulations, wonderful news! Your book has been in my “to buy” list & I plan on rectifying that as soon as I go to see the Gwen John exhibition on Easter Monday!

A fresco on the wall of San Marco monastery in Florence. In a loggia, the Virgin Mary receives the news of her pregnancy from the Archangel Gabriel. They are seemingly separated from one another by a column. The angels wings are beautifully multicoloured. The atmosphere is one of calm, and the whole scene is unspeakably beautiful. Henry James said of this work: 'You may be as little of a formal Christian as Fra Angelico was much of one, you yet feel admonished by spiritual decency to let so yearning a view of the Christian story work its utmost will on you.'

On the Feast of Annunciation, a work of art that takes the breath away as one reaches the top of a flight of stairs, turns right, and looks upwards.

Fra Angelico, Annunciation (c.1440–1445)

Thank you - I like AJ's painting so much and J Harrison deserves a biography of her own

Portrait of Jane Harrison, 1909 Introducing the legendary Jane Ellen Harrison (1850-1928)

It's such a good book. I loved how you described John's 1909 painting of Jane Harrison's ‘colourful dishevelment as she lay on her couch, one shoe half kicked-off to reveal the darning on the heel of her stocking.’

thank you dear S xxx

Wahoo, go go go go Judith! Star you are!

Joyed-up to the max to be selected for the Women's Non Fiction shortlist. It's an honour and a thrill to be in the company of such extraordinary and talented writers, even more so because all the women on the longlist were, and are, fabulous.

Very thrilled to fanfare the pub day for my paperback - with Gwen and Augustus John framed by eye-popping colour design @picadorbooks

At The Royal Ballet's Giselle last night and the evenings revelation was Reece Clarke, who is shaping up to be one of the great Romantic Albrechts, with such fullness detail and musicality in his phrasing and such detail in his acting

Wonderful obituary for a wonderful man.

First time seeing Stoppard's Arcadia @oldvictheatre.bsky.social and what a rush and dazzle it is. Head-spinningly clever but also so beguilingly tender.

In an act of grave self harm I have started re-watching The West Wing. #lostAmerica But btw it is also one of the funniest smartest and most pleasurable tv programmes I've ever seen.
