@marksandspencer Hello! I bought this from your Bristol Imperial Park store this afternoon and opened them to find them really bashed.

Awful news and likely a sign of what’s to come for many more. With the relentless influx of new housing, venues like @MotionBristol and Marble Factory will be forced out. @beardedjourno @bristol247 bristol247.com/culture/clubs/…

The @nationaltrust Magazine team has been shortlisted for two @PPA_Live Awards! Cover of the Year, for our original illustration by the Japanese artist Takumasa Ono, which we animated in digital, and Digital Product for the launch of our pioneering interactive digital magazine.

Most excellent to hear about dance music coming to the towns of the Highlands of Islands, rather than everyone having to migrate down to major cities for a sprinkling of club culture. Thanks to @AliceAustin3 for highlighting it!

As a journalist who continually dips toe into hospo (as a barista at a specialty coffee bar – I don't have patience for drunkards), the 'all-consuming physicality of it' endures. It's not easy, but the satisfaction of making a perfect coffee is unrivalled. theguardian.com/commentisfree/…

'We want detailed descriptions of outfits and interiors, hundreds of pages of crackling sexual tension, and the notion that in the right circumstances we too would be good at archery.' Iconic piece by @emilycmulligan, dutifully sent to every woman I know. theguardian.com/commentisfree/…

The feature we all deserve. In the words of HRH MM, 'best believe' I will take it to my next feature-writing workshop as an example of stunning journalism. And force-feed everyone skimmed iced lattes with sugar-free vanilla syrup. Thank you @sirin_kale.

I have a deeply, deeply unhealthy obsession with this LP – and it’s only been out a week. @GeordieGreep has made the album of the year.

Obviously, I co-sign this pitch.

Not many people know that our magazine has the biggest colour print run in Europe. When are we going to be on the BBC’s paper review? If the nation must start every day with print media shenanigans, let’s at least throw in some scones. ppa.co.uk/the-national-t…

My first issue as Dep Ed of the @nationaltrust magazine is now winging its way to some five million members! This issue, I looked at the legacy of the Sycamore Gap, a dementia group with a difference and home of pioneering garden designer Gertrude Jekyll.

Managed to get my mitts on a copy of the lovely Nearfield from the equally lovely Colonna & Smalls in Bath. Here's a little glimpse of my feature on @HiddenNotes_, the Stroud festival celebrating the brilliantly weird world of contemporary classical and avant-garde music.

Thank you to @MrGuyKelly for this deep dive on @ArchDigest Open House series that frankly we all deserve. I turn to AD’s YouTube channel whenever I want to feel something, and that feeling is almost always a delicious loathing.
