  1. This is delivery day. Must go and finish polishing.
  2. #ff to all my lovely friends who keeps me sane as I slave at this computer.
  3. @CharlotteBetts1 @swiftstory I had one too. The Gilded Lily is a gripping tale by a gifted writer with an almost lyrical style.
  4. @KatieFforde new batteries needed.
  5. @barbarabothwell Oh, I remember the Queen of Tonga. Huge lady.
  6. Cloudy and humid today, enjoying a late breakfast at my desk.
  7. @trishaashley I'm editing too. Enjoy that part.
  8. Kensal Rise library stripped in night of books and Twain plaque gu.com/p/38x3b/tw via @guardian What appalling cowards.
  9. @alison_morton Yes, it's wonderfully sunny at last, now we're leaving. We've had 3 cold, wet weeks! Still, we had fun too.
  10. @alison_morton Must prepare myself for the blast of heat then - home on Tuesday.

  13. Just whisper it but I'm writing the last chapter today. Never write it until the whole thing is revised and polished. Today's the day.
  14. Had a great day at the races yesterday and OH and I came out ahead, just. b-i-l came from Spain so all the family was there. Lovely.
  15. @Jolambertwriter Oh well done. Isn't that a lovely feeling to be able to please yourself. But writers never retire of course.
  16. @KatieFforde Oh, I don't know. We still hold Shrove Tues in Spain, even though the locals haven't a clue why we do. But we love pancakes.
  17. Read all about June Davies's writing journey on the RNA blog today. She writes for People's Friend. bit.ly/JIpRRI
  18. @KatieFforde Oh I love pancakes too, trouble is they are a moment in the mouth and a lifetime on the hips.
  19. @barbarabothwell I should have said belated birthday. One a year is enough.
  20. @morgenwriteruk Well, that would be lovely, perhaps I could contact you later in the summer before my next paperback comes out.
