As the end of the UK tax year looms, any other Blooskies fed up that the tax allowance for car travel is still 45p per mile, unchanged since 2011? (Not my Audi - I drive a VW)

Day in the studio recording the audiobook of #MurderBelowDeck, read by Sebastian Humphreys. Seb did the audiobook version of #KnifeSkillsForBeginners which is HILARIOUS (ideal for your commute, or while you're cooking dinner): www.audible.co.uk/author/Orlan... open.spotify.com/show/2xMNtws...

After Philby's defection, he declared 'the only man I feared was Skardon'. William 'Jim' Skardon was my maternal grandfather, MI5's crack interrogator, previously a Met detective. His bedtime stories when I was a kid inspired my lifelong fascination with crime. #philby #MI5 #packoflies

Hail the Alan Bennett of cosy crime! Warm thanks to J M Hall for A Brush With Death, the latest in his irresistible Thirsk Garden Centre mystery series. What a treat to be reunited with Pat, Thelma and Liz (ACHOO!) as our sleuthing trio untangles the suspicious death of a one-time Ofsted Inspector.

Few tickets left for this event at Manor Farm Library in Ruislip, when I'll be in festive conversation about #KnifeSkillsForBeginners. There's a funny story about the last time I was in Ruislip, but you'll have to come along to hear it.
