“Whenever I was working late somewhere, I just never fancied the thought, “Well, I could stay overnight in this posh hotel, or I could go home to Linda.” And it was always the brighter of the two options — yeah, go home to Linda. It was just I liked being with her, quite frankly. I think that’s the most difficult thing about losing her, just how much I enjoyed being with her.”

— Paul McCartney (Interview by Chrissie Hynde, Nov. 1998)

“Linda, who’s sitting barefoot in the attic room of their Sussex farmhouse home, is constantly surprised by the joy Paul brings to her life. ‘I know we’re coming up to our 30th wedding anniversary next year, but some days it feels like we’ve just got together. And I love that. I love it when there’s a power cut, no light, no heat and I’m having to cook over an open fire while Paul serenades me on his guitar. I love that simple life. Now that the kids have flown the nest, it’s meant that Paul and I have become like boyfriend and girlfriend again, doing those little things together that you do when you’re first dating … going to the theatre or just walking hand in hand through the fields. How many married couples of 30 years’ standing do you know who wander about holding hands? In some ways, we haven’t grown up. I guess it must be love!’ Linda says their relationship has always been like that. ‘When Paul was knighted, he said it was great because it meant he got to make his girlfriend a lady. But nobody calls me Lady Linda or Lady McCartney. I’m still just Linda and he’s Paul. Sure, it’s a real honour for Paul and I’m proud of him, but it doesn’t seem real that my boyfriend’s a knight - although he’s always been a hero.’”

““[John] had a thing about lingerie. Not just sexy black numbers, but unbelievably extravagant creations, négligé that could have been worn at a society ball. We would giggle as I paraded around in them. ‘Shall we dance?’ he would say, and we’d waltz around the bedroom. The fashion shows never lasted long in such close proximity to the bed.””

I’ve been scamming the Dominos app promotion where you take a picture of any pizza for free points. For three weeks in row, not only has their shitty camera always interpreted any photo of my cat as pizza, I always tell them it was “the worst I’ve ever had” and “made at home”.

The Beatles as Art Movements  George Harrison  ➣ Neo-Impressionism  “The artists sought to capture people’s changing relationship with the city and countryside … Most of the Neo-Impressionists held anarchist beliefs. Their depictions of the working class and peasants called attention to the social struggles taking place as the rise of industrial capitalism gained speed, and their search for harmony in art paralleled their vision of a utopian society ” (x) “The style focuses on contemporary life and landscapes and is carefully ordered rather than spontaneous in technique and intention.” (x) “I painted like that because I wanted to get through to something new - a kind of painting that was my own.” - Georges Seurat
