Something old, something new … and something 1880s. Have to say, London does deliver.

‘The raven himself is hoarse that croaks the fatal entrance of Duncan…’ - well, this was one only croaking my entrance, but doing so quite enough to be hoarse by now! But it’s ‘herself’ - Poppy. Do we think the name suits her?

Just a few hours left to get ‘Arbella’ for 99p on Amazon! The story that never grows old (well, not for me, anyhow).

Dive into your purse - but not very deep, since ‘Arbella’ is only 99p tomorrow, Friday, on Amazon Kindle! (And yes, for those who spotted the skull, there is a Hamlet connection there…)

A grumpy close up of Hodge the cathedral cat @Southwarkcathed. Carried firmly away from the nave, where we were talking women of the Wars of the Roses, he nonetheless managed to return and steal the show!

Yes, it’s red wine. Yes, it’s barely past 12. Yes, what I’m ‘supposed’ to be tweeting (x-ing?) is the fact that ‘The Tudors in Love’ is a Kindle Monthly Deal on Amazon! But you try dealing with two tax accounts/accountants at once - mine, and Derek’s for his last 3 months…

@DebralyonPhdRN Well, I think I can say what I ‘would’ have chosen if someone else hadn’t got there first…A Knight’s Tale, every time! Glorious fantasy that, for me, gets closer to a truth than most po-faced attempts at reality.

@PeterBradshaw1 I once interviewed Isabella Rossellini and Lynch was there, plus a tabloid journalist who kicked off by asking: ‘Isabella, you play Perdita, a lost soul. Isabella, are you a lost soul?’ I’ll never forget the pantomime of ‘wtf??’ grimaces Lynch gave me from behind the man’s head.

Just said, ‘oh, you’re here!’ to my humped-up sheepskin rug, in the belief it was Rex. Should I worry? (In my defence - see photo from last week - it can be hard to tell.)

My new life hack - grab lots of screenshots of exercise routines and save them for future reference. Has to be almost as effective as actually doing them, yes?
