Thank you thank you thank you to everyone who came

Thank you thank you thank you to everyone who came to my rescue against the Evil Smelly Scamsters. Your reports to @instagram did the trick, and the grubby little bastard quietly disappeared. You have affirmed my belief in community! You were my Gandalfs, my Chewbaccas, my Zelentskys! It brings me such joy and pleasure to share my watery adventures with you, and to have a laugh, and sometimes a little drizz. I have made so many wonderful friends on this sometimes icky platform, and the thought of some anorak scamming people in my name made me feel puce inside. So thank you. Here, have a beautiful almost-puce globe drifting past fancy houses. 💙

@instagram doesn’t seem to think an account using my name and my images is a problem. They reviewed my request to delete the account and said it didn’t break any community guidelines. Maybe another reason to ditch this platform. In the meantime, please please please can you all report this fake account! It’s @hhelen_walne It takes two seconds. And block it as well. Thank you! #fakeaccount #fückyou #instagramsucks

Home.
Forgot it is winter.
Kissed the dogs on their lips.
Wondered about teleporting.
Inquired about bloods.
Swam in the murk.
Stalled the car twice.
Slept in the afternoon.

The longest dry spell. I almost jumped into the moat that laps at the US Embassy. Pimlico, Portobello, Pret-A-Manger, Primark. In between eavesdropping on the neighbours having a lot of sex, I dream of salty passages.

In sweaty London. Send water! And fish with googly rainbow eyes! And fingers of fans! And nipple-cold kelp! Send eclairs held in shivering hands! And ice-quaking limbs! Send Earth a message: We’re sorry.

Raspberry Grove.

I thought I wouldn’t find it again. But if you follow your veins, ears rounding corners, it’s all there.

Finally back in the theatre for the hip-hop version of Seven Brides For Seven Brothers, the Becket sisters went all out, wearing fascinators and sucking on expensive mints, ignoring the complaints from behind them.

*** Aren’t these fascinator-worthy animals fascinating? Called feather stars, which fall under the class Crinoidea, they attach themselves to solid surfaces and reach out with their feathery arms to snag phytoplankton snacks and look very beautiful. 💙
