There’s a little bit of land behind my apartment block. No one does much with it. Planted these hyacinth bulbs (a gift) because… why not? They’re up and smell so good. This is how it begins…

I’m not in black too much these days. It’s slimming. A return is tempting.

Last week, close to tears, hearing young people read their poems inspired by a Srebrenica survivor’s story to him. We were filmed too.

Last week, teaching teachers interesting and fun ways to teach creative writing. Loads of fun. Brilliant results. Avoided an 80 mile detour, which was welcome.

Brief pilgrimage on my way home from working in the lakes. It had to be brief, they were closed.

What a perfect yellow.

This was great. Proper 80s epic with an incredible (and incredibly young) cast - Hopkins, Liam Neeson, Daniel Day-Lewis, and a slightly older Laurence Olivier.

The older I get, the more I realise the value of things. It’s the time off I love, not every penny every huge organisation tries to squeeze out of me, to sell me happiness. Last night’s happiness was a couple of hours with a friend, and a jumper my mum gave me last year.

Reached the age where I take myself to Paul McCartney shows.

More of a balanced angle than most westerns.

Incredible book. Both an insight into #Lakota life and their genocide and forced relocation from someone who was there. I’d say it is a must-read.

What Liba Felt is locked and ready to be sent. So proud and excited - and grateful to a DREAM cast and crew. It’s probably the best thing I’ve written, and made even better by everyone involved.
