Dear Reader,
hi there! Here’s some recent eavesdropped whisperings from the banquette seats of South London pubs to the inside of King's Road stores, and just to mix it up, one or two from the inside of my WhatsApp messages. More soundbites can be found here.
Also, here's one from the archives, this time last year I asked Mark T. Vernon of band YOVA about a few of his favourite things, his responses were wonderful, read on here.
Finally, as it's mid-November I'd recommend this extract on turkeys, thanksgiving and Christmas.
As always thank you very much for reading and sharing!
Love,
Emma

‘You were the one properly yucking my yum!’
‘I don't want to demonise fruit though…’
‘You strike me as someone who was breast fed for a really long time.’
‘That's a Marlon Brando-esque white t -shirt, gold chain energy, you got there*.’
‘She's one step away from casting spells.’
‘I don't mind fish, far better than skunk.’
‘You've just got to make it a bit sexy.’
‘Krav maga and surfing I tried it now I'm writing a novel, yeah, I've written two novels.’
‘This guy doesn't give one single shit about subordinate clauses.’
‘…..he only had a soup, then drunk a whole bottle of rum, I was so annoyed with him man.’
*sadly the man in question did not, to my mind, look anything like Brando.
Love the doggy picture and this line ‘You strike me as someone who was breast fed for a really long time.’
