Sept 2019 - seems long long time ago.

How are you spending your Sunday? I’m bathing Roland Rat…

Brilliant launch for Peter James latest, Picture You Dead, from Pan Macmillan on Brighton Pier tonight. I paraphrase Peter: “Remember that behind police uniforms are human beings who experience trauma on our behalf every day.”

Tip no 899367(b) Remember a tube of Boots Antiseptic Cream looks suspiciously similar to a tube of toothpaste. It will not taste the same. :(

My 4 book e-omnibus of Porfiry Petrovich novels is still only £1.99. That's less than 50p a book. I mean, come on! amazon.co.uk/dp/B08J864RD4
