I'm sorry to hear the blood test news wasn't good. I'm thinking of you as well.
On Theo's preference for enthusiasm over effortlessness: I have been wondering when, or if, a new sincerity would arise, after so many years of wry, arch, acerbic, ironic, irreverent detachment — all of which I grew up with and found deliciously new and rebellious, and I suppose I still do. But maybe sincerity is what we need at the moment.
A very interesting perspective on Tennessee Williams – I must confess if you had asked me to say much of anything about him I would come up empty-handed. But the essay makes me think a lot about my mother-in-law‘s experience, moving as a young bride with babies, whose diapers she had just been washing and hanging on the line in winter, moving from the UK to what was then northern Rhodesia, where there was plenty of household help. Thank you for this.
I will also be thinking about you tomorrow… All the best, Ellen.
This was an excellent piece, Jennifer. It will send me to the Williams' essay. Sorry to hear about the blood tests and my thoughts will be with you tomorrow.
Im trying to get caught up .
The wedding dress story was just beautiful and such a gift to Theo, yourself and your readers. Will
hope to hear about your scan and tests. Enjoyed the TW piece as it tied into your diplomatic life!

As always, my thoughts are with you. I'm hoping your scans remain negative. 🩷
