My novel The Measurement Problem was the winning entry in the Science Museum/Hodderscape SF debuts prize.
It has to be the Musée d'Orsay. Fabulous exhibits in a fabulous building.

Reminds me of "Lost". A show that goes on and on with no clear direction or resolution until it's cancelled. I got halfway through season 2. Maybe when the whole thing is finished I'll pick it up again.

It's my belief that each prime minister serves only to make their predecessor look better in retrospect.

Except Liz Truss. No-one could make her look better - except...

Nigel Farage.

We're doomed.

@scifiscavenger.bsky.social Patrick O'Bryan was in the middle of the 21st book in the Aubrey-Maturin series when he died. Now there's a long-running movie or TV series waiting to be made.
