And together they go racing. He and Whitney are the same age now; geriatric but anything less than warp speed is boring. Long live old dogs with minds like a bag of marbles.

There's a viral video at the moment with a dog in a backpack on a Ducati, which is awesome. Our friend has an ageing Jack Russell, Haribo, the best little boy in the world, and she had a thing made that straps him onto the tank of her Ducati, with doggles.

@carolemorinsoho Hello Carole, is there a way to contact you about a story anthology I am editing? I am on Lrandalledits [at] gmail.com Thank you.

@devisridhar Hello. Who is your publicist for the new book? I'd like to invite you to Wigtown Book Festival. Thanks.

@lucyinglis Copies arrived in office and a young colleague emailed to alert me saying, “Now this is a topic that really interests me.” Also we need to chat so please email me. Xxx

Saw a friend today, and he said he, his wife and all his daughters had shared Born. As a writer, ultimately, that is all you can ever hope for.

Our dog was under the table.

I've written a book about a 14 year old boy - and though I hope 14 year olds will enjoy it, it's really for everybody. I wanted to write something purely funny, and I think I might love it more than anything I've ever written before. It's out in August. Cover by Jim Kay.

@lucyinglis Oh Lucy! X

@lucyinglis Big love to you and Mr I. Xxxxx

In a world that seems to be melting as we type, last night someone died who was loved and cherished by everyone he touched. It was his time and he was fine with it, and if I leave one ounce of the legacy he has left to everyone he knew, then I will have served my purpose.
