Hello! Sadly there were inexplicable technical issues with this post and it didn’t reach everyone. Apologies for resending to everyone but it seems to be the only way.

How’s your week been? Mine’s had its ups and downs. Some days I’ve felt my hip is making excellent progress – long walks ahoy! At other times, though, I’m keenly aware I’m dragging a lump of metal around in my body, and wondering whether it will ever feel fully mine again. Annoyingly, my next book has developed a few stubborn knots that I’ve been trying to unpick at 3am. And let’s not talk about the British weather.
Yet, there’s been sparkle in this washed-grey week. Joy, let me count the ways.
