Been in and out of hospital with a debilitating illness. Promise to catch up soon.

Word that’s making me smile today: novel. The Latin word “novellus” means new, young, or recent. In English, the word “novel” came to be used for book-length works of fiction in the 1500s, via the Italian “novella,” which originally meant a new story.

Anthony Trollope Oxford World’s Classics

Anyone read 'The Whalebone Theatre' by Joanna Quinn?

Has X cleared up some of the bots on here? We've lost followers. 😭

Favourite adaptation of a novel? We'll go first with E. M. Forster's 'Howard's End' starring Sir Anthony Hopkins and Emma Thompson.

Any book recommendations?

Grief doesn’t fade on command. It changes, lingers, and sometimes feels like weather you learn to live with. I would like to once again thank @prosetrics for publishing my poem.

Apologies for the radio silence of late. I have been in hospital. I plan to catch up with emails very soon. Thanks for listening.
