Been meaning to say on here how much I loved the new AK Blakemore. She’s one of the best prose stylists around I think. But it’s also a terrific story.

Absolutely fascinating to think that every single one of us is descended from either Fred & Wilma Flinstone or Barney & Betty Rubble.

You’d think retaining the rights to Thunderball would be an open goal for fixing the dullest Bond movie, showing Eon how it’s done. But they decided to honour the original by being slightly less interesting than mouthwash.

Like a number of other people on the social, I’ve just finished Penguin’s new edition of John Cowper Powys’s A GLASTONBURY ROMANCE. Quite something to connect so forcefully with a sensibility utterly at odds with the everyday contemporary. Deranged. Quite brilliant.

I’ve just remembered the funniest piece of serendipity ever: when at university we borrowed a camcorder and called for a friend, and made as if it were a film noir moccumentary (talking like Edward G Robinson etc).

My hot Wimbledon take: no one is playing brilliantly yet. Some excellent matches because top seeds are playing erratically against lesser- often younger- players, meaning better-than-you’d-think fights but chiefly due to inconsistency.
