Body Count comes out a week today - and I can thoroughly recommend it. In Saffy, @juliecohen.bsky.social has conjured up one of those fictional characters you wish you could spend an evening with down the pub. A killer creation!

This person went to Harrogate but failed to take any pictures of writers, books or giant signs.
I did take a few of pictures in the local art gallery, though. 😂

It's Daphne du Maurier's birthday today.
Her books are brilliant and her influence endures.
Rebecca is the only book I read repeatedly. It's a masterpiece.

It's Friday evening, I've managed to empty the inbox, the diary's empty, so a weekend of writing and eating ice cream lies ahead.
Can't think of anything I'd rather be doing!
