Researching Golden Age Detective Fiction, and director of Golden Age Mysteries Ltd. Obsessive aerialist. Forever found flying around a big metal stick, or suspended in a giant hoop ✨🤸🏻‍♂️

Talks quite a bit about detection, ‘space’ and dresses. 👗

“What we ask is to be human individuals, however peculiar and unexpected.”

For #InternationalWomensDay, the @goldenagemysteries.bsky.social gang and I are reading Dorothy L. Sayers’ ‘Are Women Human?’ A sometime witty, mostly exasperated reply to very silly attitudes in 1938, which still persist.
White book cover with words ‘ARE WOMEN HUMAN? Dorothy L. Sayers. Penetrating, sensible, and witty essays on the role of women in society.’

The most rejuvenating weekend visiting my amazing friends in Llangollen this Saturday! They took me to see the Crocuses at the Ladies’ of Llangollen house, too! And they were so beautiful

Today, I’m dancing around to Chappell Roan in my dungarees, super happy it’s finally looking like spring! 🌷🍃

Today's non-administrative task is working on this. Two weeks to go until the big day and it looks as if there is still space available to attend either in person or online:

Yesterday in the cocktail bar of the Burgh Island Hotel I met a very spry gentleman of 90 having a martini. I asked him the secret of his spryness. His advice was:
1. Don't eat too much
2. Do drink too much
3. Never wear jeans
