He bought me a new wall clock for my studio. I’d love to feel able to buy a classic designer one but perhaps it would look out of place among the IKEA tat that fills this white space. It’s OK, I’ve made other choices. And this one, though inexpensive has a nice pale green around its rim and a gentle, comforting tick. I am so lucky compared to many. So lucky. We talked about the twelve people who drowned trying to make the crossing across the Channel. And our government want to send such wretches to Rwanda, and after such travails. It sickens me.
