beautiful people from 1960 ... there's still time to watch "a bout de souffle" at the bfi


















and to revel in a bit of film making fun and fireworks that is filled with grace and laughter

three more beautiful things ...

a letter i've been struggling to write to an old friend for the last seven days suddenly leaps onwards from page four to page fourteen

i find just the right kind of walking and working boots i've been wanting to buy after days of searching and i proudly wear them even whilst i type, sitting here well after my usual bed time in my third best pyjamas

the house empties after a jolly gathering of buddhists and i re-possess the sofa, sitting by chance in just the right position for a powerful moonbeam to smack me in the eye
