Oh and I watched Columbus on SBS after reading that list of peaceful movie recommendations. I watched it during a crash and it was, indeed, peaceful. And beautiful to look at.
I enjoy your chock-a-block newsletters SO much Pip. I am finding Substack quite overwhelming and I can't read your entire newsletter in one hit either, but I savour it, nibble by nibble, like breaking squares of dark chocolate from my favourite block. Thank you!
There is so much to love each week in Pip’s newsletters. Reading it is like cracking the foil on your favourite chocolate bar and then eating one square at a time, over several days.
my houselust kindled this week by Lawrence Ferlinghetti’s Big Sur cabin up for sale! No interiors sadly - maybe too rustic https://nypost.com/2026/07/16/real-estate/2-61-acre-big-sur-property-nestled-under-iconic-bixby-bridge-now-for-sale/
Another sterling list Pip! Off to dream about buying Old House - Tony was so stylish!
I long for a mural wall like Ms Birkin’s.
