@posthumusrogers @Xilaire Thank you!! So glad you enjoyed it. Plenty more languishing in the rejected pile - will polish them up and submit again. Sorry about the 6/10! Not my calculation. Makes me smile though to think of Hilaire timing you 😆

Devastated to hear we have lost Pauline Collins. What a lady. What an actress. ❤️

Before Fleabag & Miranda, there was Pauline Collins breaking the fourth wall with her wry “aren’t men full of shit” - among many other ever-quotable lines. What a remarkable, heartbreaking, gloriously performance. Goodbye, goodbye Shirley Valentine. ♥️ theguardian.com/uk-news/2025/n…
