Reviewed The Half Known Life by Pico Iyer for ⁦@ftweekend⁩, a book good to think with, luminous and strange… Having read Pico for 20 or so years it was an honour to write this up. (somehow deleted earlier tweet so posting again) https://t.co/IzknDUsYMY

Opposite the house where Robert Louis Stevenson once lived, Darwin and I trotted along just now and a tall man walked towards us in a tweed jacket (normal for here) and a pipe hanging from his mouth and said “lovely dog” to us.

Anthony Powell. Tempted by his sequence of novels, A Dance to the Music of Time, but quite a commitment. Who here can give me a brief review?

Parwana: Recipes and Stories from an Afghan Kitchen

Durkhanai Ayubi
Caroline EdenCaroline Eden

Long run this morning - through the haar, Edinburgh’s ghostly sea mist - and so maash palaw for lunch. Based on a recipe in ‘Parwana’ Durkhanai Ayubi’s Afghan cookbook. Lentils, rice, onion, yellow sultanas, butter, oil, cumin, pepper, sea salt - that’s it. Totally restorative! https://t.co/ywG1xI6MdK

"The sharp decline of hitchhiking in the 1990s may have been informed by the geographer John Adams’s concept of the ‘risk thermostat’, one implication of which is that people’s perception of danger often differs wildly from statistical reality." https://t.co/I8z0oucMSe
