The best thing about today: I am having fun working on my novel and avoiding the new phone, glaring at it. I have internet and can receive calls. Aside from that, I don't want to hear from the dratted thing!
It's grey, chilly for end of April in S of F. I worked at my desk all day until an hour ago; we went for a walk through tall wildflowers growing on the terraces, to pick sweet oranges. Everywhere was damp but there are SO many colours in the flowers that it was rather wonderful.
The last few days. It could hardly be cheaper! @orionbooks Step into a little sunshine.

99p on Kindle for this month. Cheaper than an espresso or a glass of rosé; cheaper than a ticket for the métro.
Hope you make it @Bookishcrick

I am incandescent with rage about the Harvey Weinstein news. If they let that molester out I might go on the rampage.
It's pretty chilly here on French Riviera this matin. I might need a sweater and woolly bathing suit for swimming!
It was splendid today to be sitting in the sunshine by the sea in Italy, eating fresh fish, watching the greedy gulls and the sailboats out on the water. We bought masses at the veg and fruit market in Ventimiglia and now we are home, happy and replete.
We are off to Italy for the day. One of the joys of living here.

“Reading Cavafy for the first time I saw the infinity I knew about, an immense vista of silence between one line and the next: eros was that interval, not the action of the sentence. Or perhaps…I responded to the atmosphere of fated submission.” – Louise Glück, born #OTD 1943
How exciting! @LissaKEvans
Today the sun is shining after more heavy rain yesterday. The trees are shooting skywards full of vitality and the grass with its myriad wildflowers reaches up to my shoulders. I feel like a small child walking through it. It's rather wonderful if a bit damp.
Happy publication day to Ian and another feel good novel set under blue skies 😍
Mon Chapeau. Hats off to her. She is braver than I am @IrishLitTimes

Sorry to hear that CJ Sansom has died but his books will live on as a fitting tribute. The adaptation of his first SHARDLAKE novel is due to be televised in just two days time. He was a remarkable writer. theguardian.com/books/2024/apr…
I often had him in mind when I walked the streets. He was so very present. It was just simply that his chair was empty, so to speak. — Lawrence Durrell, honoring Cavafy b. 29 April 1863 (Alexandria) d. 29 April 1933 (Alexandria) Cavafy's Flat Rue Lepsius, Alexandria
Of course, as so many of you worked out, the photo is of the wonderful Maeve Binchy as a child.

“I have read translations of Cavafy made by many different hands, but every one of them was recognizable as a poem by Cavafy; nobody else could have written it. Reading any poem of his reveals a person with a unique perspective on the world.” ~ W. H. Auden
The brilliant author C J Sansom has died after a long illness. This thread by his friend William Shaw is essential reading for fans…
On Saturday evening I got a message from my friend Roz that Chris had died. Awful, sad, a massive loss, but to be honest it wasn’t unexpected. He had been ill for a very long time – and after many health setbacks I think he really wanted to go. 🧵1/15
This is why I am not allowed to take Stupid Big Face Selfies when everyone else looks fantastic, and it was a fabulous lunch. ❤️❤️❤️❤️

Saddened to hear of the death of CJ Sansom. May his memory be a blessing. The books abide. I hope he got to see the television version.

But as we know… the end of that first draft is just the beginning of the loooooong refining process. And that’s if my editor doesn’t think it’s a pile of shite. I have all the fear of that one to come over the next week. But how good it feels to have it in the bag.
