Twenty years after it was published I’ve finally read Jane Gardam’s Old Filth. She can write a perfect sentence and she can tell a cracking story. Nothing is out of place. Rivals Elizabeth Taylor.

Not a word out of place; not a sentence overwritten; not an ounce of self-importance in the writing. Rare and refreshing, these charming stories from one of the very best. (And I’ve discovered that each is about a London train journey in length.)

Deeply disappointed that Graham Nash’s eight tracks on Desert Island Discs didn’t include anything by Joni Mitchell.

Goodbye Derek. A superbly clever, sharp-witted, entrepreneurial, politically astute figure, almost wrenched from a Martin Amis novel. He had a keen understanding of all human frailties and abilities. Loving husband, Labour man and super Dad. Bloody Covid.

A search for a piece I’d written unexpectedly took me here, about how anonymous online user names turn out to be real life people with all their complexities. theguardian.com/commentisfree/…

I realize AI is a touchy subject in some areas, but can we all agree that Victorian Seinfeld is the right use of this technology?

Inspired by Phoebe Morgan , who inspires me a lot, I’m also offering a free critique of your first three chapters - literary fiction . Please DM me. Last year I placed 5 - 5! - debut novelists with top agents. One went on to secure a 7 - 7! - figure deal.

Would anyone like 3 tickets to Bluey’s big play at the Royal festival hall this afternoon (2pm)? I have a sick toddler and baby so am not going. Free of charge but I’d appreciate a donation to Shelter or the Trussell Trust (though if money is tight, please just have them). DM me.
