Hi hello, hope you all had a good weekend! After wanting to go to Toad bakery in Camberwell for so long, we finally tried it yesterday morning and it was good. The porchetta honey butter swirl was a total knockout, and I’d cycle there and queue all over again to eat another one. We’ve finally had our heads turned by Limebike over the past six months.

Hi hello! I keep attempting to write postcard-sized emails, brief enough to read while the kettle boils. Personally, I love a bite-sized newsletter – an amuse-bouche while I wait for the tube – but brevity was never my strong suit. This isn’t a Substack-specific affliction.

That was embarrassing. I disappeared into hiding like a guilty dog who ate the birthday cake.

On the sliding scale of ultra-restrained John Pawson farmhouse to Nicky Haslam’s chintz-covered columns, where would you put yourself? Most of us – including this writer – would likely sit somewhere in the middle. So, if we’re open to the idea of a stainless steel kitchen but not averse to blood-red joinery, does that make us middlemalists? If our design preferences sit halfway between the two opposing philosophies of minimalism and maximalism, does that leave space for a third, middling option?

Which paint to buy for lime plaster? With a mind-boggling number of options to choose from and a rebellion against the uptight decorating rules of old, it might be quicker to solve a Rubik’s Cube than to figure out which paint finish to buy.
