Hello Eva! I CANNOT thank you enough for namechecking my book in your excellent column. So delighted you enjoyed it enough to read it more than once!

September it is! Quite a lot on at the minute...

I’m hoping to learn!!!!!

When are you thinking of?

To the tune of "Lady Madonna": Oh Great Cthulhu/skulls piled at your feet/Wonder who'd be dumb enough/to end your sleep?

Constable’s Haywain but there’s three Lime Bikes in the pond

“Spice up your Life” but it’s “Trump on the Roof”

Thank you for this

Adding to @outonbluesix.bsky.social’s list of great low budget films that are nowhere to be found: “Skeletons”. It’s amazing. I’m glad I have it on DVD otherwise I’d think I dreamt it

The atmosphere's febrile out there, yo. The tarmac is melting faster than a Solero gaffa taped to a shire horse, and the city's on a razor's edge, one play of the Mr Blobby Christmas album away from anarchy. I sure picked the wrong day to steam all this cauliflower in the pressure cooker

Was today the wrong day to walk across the Millennium Bridge, 300 metres of roasting hot, highly-reflective aluminium, a narrow, inescapable corridor swarming with crowds of other human beings? You might say yes, but I said no. In other news, I am a liquid now and I live in this bucket
