The chance to interact with some of my favourite authors. Discover fantastic new books. Learn a great deal. And meet some great people. All this outweighs all the lunacy one might encounter.

Who blew the assignment in getting Jewish people off the islands? HMG? If you’re going to cover it in the pod, happy to wait.

I’ve read and recommend Lucy’s first class book Jungle Commandos. This should be a good chat.

Flu and Covid jabs today. Had to pay for both. Whatevs.

If you are eligible for them on the NHS please get them. If you aren’t, please consider paying.

Respiratory illness is already putting a big strain on hospitals and it’s only October.
