@MaisieAdam fabulous show in Chelmsford tonight - we laughed so much our jaws ache (won't be visiting a dentist in Colchester any time soon though!) Thank you!

@greateranglia I'm travelling from Wickford and understand tickets are valid to Stratford or Liverpool St on the tube, but I want to go to Chancery Lane which I can do directly from Newbury Pk - so what do I do about an onward fare?

@VaseemKhanUK @The_CWA So sorry to hear that - such a lovely man

As Chair of the @The_CWA it sometimes falls to me to deliver news that is deeply saddening. My warm, gentle, lovely friend Amer Anwer has passed away, from cancer, at an age far too young. He leaves behind a loving family, and a crime fiction fraternity ...

@james_j_bailey 🤣🤣

@LHSteel It’s yours! (I expect it at the next train the trainer 😉)

Thinking about the time I was struggling with insomnia, so sat up at 4 in the morning and rewrote the spoken word bit from Madonna’s ‘Vogue’ so that it was all about 20th century women writers

@clarentina There's a few diabetes-related starter packs - might help? I know that @Colonelblighty is over there

@SydMoore1 I'm on Bluesky- lots of people over there now!

So, who is staying on X? For those considering going - where are you going?

@KrystalVittles Great film!

@LHSteel Great book, let me know about the film!

They’ve made Harris’s ‘Conclave’ into a film with Ralph Fiennes and this is excellent as it was a banger of a book and RF is always superb. In an interview RF laments they keep turning good books into massively stretched out TV series and it’s boring. Yesssss, couldn’t agree more

@james_j_bailey Interesting

@james_j_bailey Butterfly haircut I'm thinking (one margarita down)

The NHS might be struggling right now, but thank goodness no one in the UK will be asked to pay $807.96 for insulin. We must never stop fighting to keep it that way.

Thanks @PaintingsLondon for sharing this impactful painting in our collection. Both the subject Gillian 'Bobbie' Tanner & the artist Mary Pitcairn were Auxiliary Firewomen. They had bravely volunteered to join the Auxiliary Fire Service in #WWII to protect London & Londoners.

Coming soon: first institutional show by Rafał Zajko 'The Spin Off' opening Saturday 22 March, 6pm to 8pm! Made possible by @JerwoodF with additional support from @HenryMooreFDN . More info: zurl.co/038f

@vpeanuts 🤣🤣

Just saw someone refer to this alleged fake Melania as Temulania and I don’t think I’ll ever recover. 🤣

@stephen_kelman Started in Bristol I believe playingout.net/play-streets/w…

Spotted in Wigan. Are Play Streets a northern thing?

@shazknit I'm not surprised!

@LHSteel Lovely to catch up, as always. So much to chew over. Good job it’s Friday - I’m on brain overload!

Really interesting day - great speakers and lots to think about. Oh, and playing with the tech was lots of fun too!
