John's cultural round-ups are excellent. He has GOOD TASTE (and not just because he links to my review of Marilyn Monroe at the NPG - honest!)

Sitting in the cold tub. Water temperature is a ridiculous 26°c. If only I’d won the purpose-built cedar cold tub!

Jealous of Previous Chris back in the days of our bargain pool and the times when we had to break the ice to swim.

View from the ‘cold’ tub. Water temperature 24°c. It’s lovely - might sit here all day.

Been waiting for this one.

Walking at Weymouth this afternoon.

Maiden Castle walk this afternoon.

Thrilled to have played a tiny part in the new paperback edition of the beautiful #StoneLands 🥰 Delighted @stonelands.bsky.social chatted to me about my megalith-obsessed teen years observing sunrises at Tinkinswood in the 1980s for the postscript 🙏. A real honour 😊. Buy it, read it, love it

Small joys today: a good run, sunshine, family. Iechyd da, here’s mud in your eye!

Local run. 3 miles. It’s stopped raining but that wind is nippy noodles.

Sad to hear of the passing of David Hockney. I last wrote about him in my November 2025 cultural highlights for ‘Hanging Out a Window’. johnearls.substack.com/p/recent-cul...
