Hi Womble. Am part way through A Drop of Corruption by Robert Jackson Bennett. It’s secondary world fantasy with a Holmes/Watson style pair investigating strange murders. Loved first book and this sequel is even better - great worldbuilding, weird biology and love the 2 main characters, Din and Ana

Fantastic evening at the #RoyalShakespeareCompany in Stratford. #FreemaAgyeman as Beatrice and #NickFlood were excellent in particular. Very funny 🤣

My annual Halloween treat - a silent movie with live organ accompaniment. This year it’s the impressive #LonChaney (“Man of a Thousand Faces”) in the 1923 classic The Hunchback of Notre Dame. At Birmingham Town Hall (UK)
