READING 2025: Enjoyed the always compelling (if sometimes problematic) BALKAN TRILOGY by Olivia Manning, especially after briefly visiting Bucharest a couple of years ago and falling a little bit in love with it.

READING 2025: Went on a Kazuo Ishiguro run in March filling in some of my blanks from his back catalogue: PALE VIEW OF THE HILLS, WHEN WE WERE ORPHANS and re-read the wonderful, dream-like THE UNCONSOLED

There were reportedly tensions on set between Caine and Rizzo the Rat, a notorious method actor, who refused to break character even when the cameras weren’t rolling

Bit sad (especially at this time of year) but we had an accident at ours last night. Everyone’s okay, but I’m santa now.
