My friend just left me a voice note describing encountering a well dressed man on Halloween. She asked him what he had come as. ‘Stanley TUCCI’, he replied, ‘and,’ he gestured, ‘my wife is dressed as his favourite pasta’. (She was a carbonara). No photo, alas.

Saw #aprivatewar last night and was reminded how fortunate and indebted we are to journalists like Marie Colvin and Jamal Khashoggi who both lost their lives to the job. In the era of fake news it’s easy to forget the value of real investigative journalism. And the cost.

I love this quote from @CKeeganFiction. "If you plot something, you’re ahead of where your character is – you can’t be with them, because you’re ahead of them. I don’t believe I can find out what it is they’re going through if I’m ahead of them.”

So proud and amazed by @stubbleagent Charlie Changes into a Chicken. Showcased here on top of my son and husband’s own foray into fiction. Go buy it. Apart from being a very pretty package (book not author, although he’s also v nice) it’s smart, truthful and joyously imaginative
