#NowListening OST 'I Clan dei Siciliani' - starring Delon, Gabin and Ventura yet somehow I haven't seen it. Drop-dead cool score by Morricone, though!

Wishing Tom Benjamin a very Happy Publication Day for 'Last Testament in Bologna', the fifth instalment of a terrific series. See you in Florence next week, Tom!

Hmm…probably should have done better. #Wordle 1,048 5/6

Dinner tonight : Palombo con piselli alla romana. Or, if you prefer, huss/dogfish with peas and tomato sauce. Lovely!

A great book, and the start of an excellent series. A bargain at 99p!

Good afternoon #Venice !

This thread is utter genius.

Consider my mind blown. Not just a little, mind you, but completely blown!

Sad to hear that Reader's Digest has gone to the wall. 'To Venice with Love' was a book of the month and they gave me a lovely review. I was, and am, very grateful for that.

Just a reminder that today is the last day when you can pick up a Kindle edition of 'Angels of Venice' for a bargain 99p!

It’s a lovely day. Good morning #Venice !

Just couldn’t place that letter. #Wordle 1,046 4/6

John Carpenter is back…and he’s in a dark mood…!

Spring is here! And so, for a couple of weeks only, we can get asparagus, broad beans and fresh peas at the same time. Which makes for a lovely pasta dish.

Desperately sad news. CJ Sansom was an absolute giant of the genre.

#NowListening It's a Monteverdi Monday, with Masaaki Suzuki. Who's 70 years old today.

Start the week with a 3! #Wordle 1,045 3/6
