Ashes to Admin out now.
It's an installation in Joseph Grimaldi Park called Invitation to Dance on a Grave. Homage to his clowning. They are tuned so you can play a song he popularised.
Knowing that you would never be less than respectful, I take it that this is in line with the wishes of the departed.
Today my mate and I danced on a musical grave like Tom Hanks in macabre Big
Always enjoy the 'change here for the battlefield' announcement as you pull into Battle station. One day I'll get around to dressing in chainmail and jumping up at that point.
My lovely agent Jo Unwin is leaving publishing. She's the only agent who gave me a chance. Having my book displayed in her offices was wild. I wonder where book two will be sitting...

She gave it to him in a serving bowl. He came back to the kitchen, bowl empty, looking all job done. Ha.

Giving the zoomsters some Charlie Brown art to enjoy whilst I witter on

I think I downplayed it at the time as I was mildly horrified but a year of distance has softened it to just funny
Oops ups inside your head say oops up inside your head
Whenever I get a delivery or email from dpd I always pronounce it duhpuhduh in my head and I always find it funny.
Oh and PSA. There's a gachapon shop above Victoria Station.
And I joined in with a Lush Bridgerton pop up. Eclectic day.
Visited some favourite classics whilst looking for a painting in the National that featured in a memoir I judged as part of a writing competition. It had been taken out for a separate exhibition of its own.

This one had a clever frane shape. Side on it looks straight. Front on it stays side on wonky.
The RA also have the best toilets. At the end of a corridor of statues.
