The Berlin architect Ursulina Schüler-Witte, who, together with her husband Ralf Schüler, decisively shaped the face of West Berlin with their buildings after the Second World War, is dead.

I've outlived all members of my family except the alcoholic who smoked for fifty years. My husband and I ate the same foods together for half our lives. He's in an urn, and he didn't have the cancer running amok in his family as I do, but it killed him anyway. I take Vitamin D3 to reduce my risk of getting the cancers that killed my family members. I practise Qigong. The planet's getting hotter and wilder and I have no desire to be an insect-crunching octogenarian swept out to sea or caught in a forest fire. I moved out of the United States as being gunned down in a supermarket or coffee shop, as a friend of mine was, is not, ahem, my cup of tea. I'm about choosing the way I go, not postponing my departure.

I had it in my head that Michael Reeves, director of classic horror Witchfinder General, also died at 27, but he only made it to 25.

I saw him interviewed, I think, by Sophy Ridge and he came across as somebody with even less charisma than IDS. Human mogadon, infact.
