Yeah, that's fair enough: past me has done some stupid stuff! I still don't want to cancel her for the things she's hadn't learned yet (but I would like to kick her in the shin for some of the stuff she did and didn't do, agreed).

Thank you (and now I have to read the whole book). I've been thinking in recent years about how to maintain common ground while holding opposing views. I sometimes think that Past Me's opinions might not pass a purity test with Now Me. Maybe other people deserve the same grace I'd give Past Me.

I pitched a book festival event for next spring and the organiser said yes, and then three amazing speakers said yes!

How have I not come across this series yet!! It sounds very cool, and less psychotic than Yellowstone. Please read my whole book in the voice of Doc Holliday 🤠

Matt Hancock must be grinding his teeth right now

This is such awful news, though I'm grateful to you for sharing it. I remember how devastated Mitakeumi looked in the bashos following his father's death, quite naturally of course, and I feel for him having to cope with a basho right after this second bereavement. He's so young to go through this..

Thanks! I have loads of mini moth killing sachets but I think they expired.

What's the library equivalent of being Rick-rolled and why is it this

All the beautiful Pompey brutalism is here: www.gailmyerscough.co.uk/search?q=Tri...

That actually applies to 99% of the news at the moment so I’m happy to take your word for it. 🙁

Who is doing what now?

Not always possible, but coming back to it after a night’s sleep can reveal things that you couldn’t see the day before.
