Revolting women, Foyles and vegan food - a perfect day out! 😊📚
Back in the pre pandemic days I used to make regular visits to London to visit galleries, shows and trawl the bookshops. They were always a source of great joy, but it’s literally years since I visited the capital and even though I ventured to Edinburgh last year, I hadn’t made it back to London. However, I had intended to get down there around the Christmas period, as there was an exhibition I…

All the fabulous crime books I am reading this month!
This month is all about crime for me I watch and read nothing but crime because it is cold, dismal and occasionally foggy in London at this time. It feels appropriate and I love a good crime novel especially Agatha Christie although surprisingly she is not on my list this month but maybe I will sneak one of hers in. The one I am most excited to reread is Darkly Dreaming Dexter by Jeff Lindsay as…

I, like most people have a favourite pair of pants.
Rod discoveres the lifechanging magic of tidying and almost loses himself. Marie Kondo, Paul Auster, Oor Wullie, Somerset Maugham and others function as my support group.
I am listening to Ruth Ozeki’s novel, The Book of Form and Emptiness.
It is a long book covering aspects of physical and mental health and wellbeing, identity, belonging and alienation and that is in the first couple of chapters.
Some of the narrative reminds me of Haruki Murakami, most is completely original.
It is fantastic.
The story is told from the perspective of the main character,…

I swear someone needs to make a film plot where famous detectives all go on vacation to the same place and there’s a murder. Because all the detectives would HATE each other
Poirot and Sherlock are constantly fighting
Nero Wolfe refuses to leave his hotel room and is just bitching about everyone to Archie
asene lupine isn’t even trying to solve the mystery he’s just pissing off sherlock.
watson wants to go home
Hastings and Archie are trading stories about there respective employer/friend
sherlock solves it first but Miss Marple actually did she just didn’t say anything because “these young whipper snappers need to work it out themselves”
the whimseys and the Branford’s didn’t even show up because Tuppence and Harriet were trying on hats while Tommy and Peter just kinda sat there
Poirot was busy matchmaking and Sherlock was like ugh that’s disgusting 😒
foyle was the detective they called. He took one look at this shit show and said Sam take me home.
bertie Wooster was a guest too and he was set to marry the murdered ladies daughter but Jeeves tipped off Poirot that the girl was in love with the gardener
jeeves and miss Marple get along wonderfully
no one’s really sure why those two gardening ladies are so nosey.

I met some of the ghosts and gave my print of the Captian and Havers dancing in the style of JC Leyendecker. I also got to see their costumes and talk to Martha and Larry. It was an awsome event where I got to meet some other lovely ghosts fans and even give them cards of my art!!
Ben was first in line, so he saw the prints and I asked him to sign one of them. He also signed the book while I was telling him about the painting and giving him his own copy. I told him that I liked him in Me and You (because I cannot stop myself) and double science (which is a radio drama he wrote and starred in from like 2008) and he LIT UP when I mentioned double science (see below)
And then I was going to talk to Martha but the person in front of me was still talking to her and then Larry got a look at the print in my hand (because we didn't want Ben's signature to smudge) and he was like "Wow, that's amazing, did you paint that?" and he took it from me to have a look at it before giving it back, and then I told him that my favourite minor Yonderland character was Kendall, and he was like, oh, yes. And that I also really liked his elder character, especially the "if I would have known how loud winning would be, I would have chosen a different side" and "Oh, and I want to be a woman." Truly icon behavior, and he seemed to agree with me.
And that was how i spent an incredibly special 3 minutes of my life. It was kind of a hard day, being back in London for the first time since 2020, but they made it all better. I wish I could have met Martha properly, but seeing them all smile made it all worth it.
