Ipswich 2 - 4 Arsenal…

Seven wins from seven, and Max Dowman is apparently determined to make being 16 look embarrassingly productive. A brace, plus goals from Madueke and Merino, had Arsenal 4 up before Ipswich remembered they were playing too. A few late nerves, but comfortably through.


Onwards and upwards, my friends.

Frida: The Making of an Icon @Tate Modern…

Last Friday afternoon with Stuart went to see Frida: The Making of an Icon at Tate Modern in London’s glitzy Bankside. Frida Kahlo gets the star treatment. Brilliant art, fascinating mythmaking and enough Fridamania to stock a very stylish gift shop. 

⭐️⭐️⭐️

Sunderland 0 - 2 Arsenal…

Six wins from six. Sunderland made us work for it, but Arsenal clearly enjoy a scrap almost as much as a passing exhibition. 

Raya saved a penalty, Bruno curled in a beauty off the bar, and Saka added the late insurance. 


Mind you, VAR remains football’s unpaid comedy department.


Onwards and upwards, my friends.

The Story @ Olivier Theatre…

Last night with Stuart went to see The Story at Olivier Theatre in London’s glitzy South Bank. Based on a true story of an ambitious African American journalist digs into race, ambition and journalistic responsibility. Letitia Wright, Ashley Thomas, Lorraine Toussaint and Wilf Scolding are terrific, though it loses its way a bit in Act Two.

⭐️⭐️⭐️

Bayeux Tapestry @britishmuseum…

Earlier today, Stuart and I went to marvel at the fabulous Bayeux Tapestry at the British Museum in London’s glitzy Bloomsbury. 

70m of embroidery, 10 colours, and 50kg of wool. Taking 3 years to make by Kentish nuns sewing Aesop in the margins for fun, the panels show 623 men, just 3 women, 190 horses, 37 ships, 35 dogs and 93 penises all waging a war of succession for the English throne. 

Harold’s arrow? Probably added in the 19th century. 

History has never looked this good.
