Currently watching: Movie wise, have been filling in gaps in the Lynne Ramsay and Jane Campion filmographies before I do some of those big honkin religious epics over Passover and Easter.

My sister and brother-in-law lured me back into it over a recent family holiday when they were catching up on the previous season. Hadn’t seen it since I was a kid, and as an adult, well I love sociology.

Currently reading: Still John Le Carré's The Honourable Schoolboy, listen I got distracted for a while there with the Wuthering, also it is 600 pages (of bureaucratic spy action)

Current obsession: The falling cherry blossoms on my block

Currently working on: Developing new rituals; top entries at present are breakfast vinyl (see above), afternoon matcha, burning my poppy colored beeswax taper candles in the evening

Last search: all’Arrabbiata
