Great. Will do. Many thanks.

Hi Karen, I’ve just finished writing an episode of Good Ship Murders for Channel 5. I’ve got 15 year’s experience writing TV drama and love the cosy crime genre. I’m represented by Alison Finch at JFL Agency. I send over my CV and maybe a spec script fyi?

Female Pilot Club. I salute you!

Haha. Cheers mum x

Poly knows! #IWD

Please tell me WITHOUT spoilers does anything get resolved in FROM? Binged S1 but finale gave no satisfying answers, just more questions. Starting to suspect they haven’t got an ending a la LOST, lots of interesting stuff happening but no unravelling of the mystery. Is it worth sticking with?

Yeah, I agree. They’ve screwed up on every level, blatantly asset stripping and now want us to pay 50% higher bills?!

The bloke from Southern saying ‘it’s really difficult, it’s a big job, it’s very hard’ It’s literally your job - if you don’t know what you’re doing then let someone else do it. They’ve spent decades ripping profit from UK, not investing in infrastructure and now want us to pay??!! Outrageous.

As an Indian, my contempt for (rich white) anti-vaxxers in the west is so deep I often cannot quite find the words to express my contempt.
I grew up seeing polio-disabled children and adults crawling over rubble and roads in India.

What is happening?

Just a reminder, as you look outside and notice it's already getting dark 😱, that today is the earliest sunset of the year (15:51 in London). From tomorrow the sunsets slowwwwly start getting later again. (Sunrises don't start getting earlier until Dec 30th hence solstice on 21st.) YOU ARE WELCOME.

Ha! Yep, must be the same thing happening I guess. I’ll check it out - probably better for the environment/cheaper than running the dishwasher all day. FRT: I haven’t been doing that.

Realised this week (after 20+ years of writing) that I work better/get more immersed in a script if the dishwasher is running. Guess it’s the in-house domestic version of ‘pink noise’ / rainforest soundtracks some people use? #misophonia #writing #ASMR

Woof woof! @weratedogs.com

Ha! That is good news. Woof!
