Help needed. I'm off to Venice Noir in November and while I've got hotel room arranged for the festival I still need some extra nights in hotel or guest house in both Venice and Rome. Has anyone got any good recommendations?

Today, for peanuts, you can buy on Kindle a brilliant @barbaranadel.bsky.social novel, an Edith Wharton novel, and Bob Dylan's prize-winning memoir. Not bad.

Romantic hero or sexual philanderer? In the tercentenary of his birth, Venice Noir will ask our audience to be the jury when we put the reputation of Giacomo Casanova on trial in the elegant surroundings of the Ateneo Veneto, Venice, on Friday November 14.

So, Sunday Times runs with latest poll showing Farage winning if there was an election now. But makes NO mention of Reform’s collusion with Russia.
