Tomorrow evening it’ll be my annual duty to vaguely shepherd the activity on the #duvetknowitschristmas hashtag and urge people to give small sums to charity. 7.30pm? Something like that?

It's always exciting to receive uncorrected proofs in the post, and I can't wait to dive into these two books that arrived within 24 hours of each other (what are the chances!), but... um... it also feels a bit like pigeons coming home to roost.

Happy Advent to you and your kin! And everyone else's kin too, come to that. As every December so far this decade, I'm going to do an Advent Calendar of beautiful and brilliant carols, with each day's added to a YouTube playlist and also to the ongoing Spotify one, now in its sixth(!) year.

Since when did Microsoft Word become a distributed array / hive mind / swarm? Is this new or have I just never noticed before that it now thinks it's more than one entity?

Chuffed to bits to see that Murder on the Marlow Belle was won an audiobook award in the USA. Nicolette McKenzie is brilliant as the narrator of the series, and I am never surprised that the books win more awards for how they sound than for how they read.

Can concur. And I keep hoping my Finnish publisher will invite me back to Helsinki so I can do it again….
🚨This is non-negotiable: if you’re in Helsinki you have to go to this sauna/swim in the sea place
4 varieties of sauna, with Finns liberally dousing the coals/logs in water
Then descend a ladder into the bracing Baltic sea
Possibly the best €26 I’ve ever spent

Another week on the USA Today Bestseller list! It's so very, very thrilling to know that so many Americans want to spend time with Judith (and therefore, by proxy, my Grandma Betty, Great Aunt Jess, and all of my other dotty female relatives who are in Judith's DNA). Go Team Marlow!

A beautiful obit of Cleo Laine in The Times this morning. I spent hours and hours listening to her albums as a teenager. Just adored her. I'm also delighted to report that the Beneath The Line comments absolutely delivered as I hoped they would.

I'm tin-rattling! The primary school writers room I run has produced a cracking script for our latest short film (comedy, time-travel). If we can muster a decent total by next Monday (July 21st) we can apply for matching funding from the county council and we hope go for a Spring shoot.
