Today in no good deed: Saw a big chunk of metal on a rural highway, which I swerved to miss. Pulled over and ran back to get it out of the road before it caused an accident, and it turns out it had JUST fallen off someone’s car. Burned the ever loving shit out of my fingers.

Exactly sixteen years ago, I arrived in Leicester to begin my doctoral studies. Today, I received my first producer’s credit. Life takes funny turns.

Back ashore after charting 140 nautical miles over five days as part of the volunteer crew on top masted schooner Johanna Lucretia, sailing around Devonshire. What a ride! #TallShip #Sailing #IslandTrust #ClassicSailing

Having a grand visit to Cambridge: from lunch in hall at Trinity College with Lord Rees, 15th Astronomer Royal and past President of the Royal Society, to a pint of bitter at the pub with Malcolm, local character and expert blagger, who sells his hand-turned wooden pens in the Saturday market.

Did my 50th heavy bag workout today. Still a rank beginner, but definitely improving. I’ve really enjoyed adding boxing and kickboxing to my fitness routine.

Rich Kind is doing seven weeks as Max Bialystock in “The Producers” on the West End. I’ve always adored him on stage and screen. Now I adore him in real life, too.

For Valentine’s Day, my husband sent me a beautiful bouquet of flowers and Doris Stevens’ “Jailed for Freedom”, an urtext on the American Women’s Suffrage movement. Now that’s romance! He really gets me.

My New Year’s present to myself was an in-home boxing set up. I’m an absolute beginner, but I’ve really been enjoying it so far. 2026 is a good year for punching things.

My beloved Mini Cooper, Elton, is finally an official New York resident. No, I absolutely did not ask for my new license plate to be “6767”, it was randomly assigned. I’m guessing it either makes me super hip with the youths or a complete dickhead. Maybe both?

Since I have to be in Plymouth for work on May 23rd, it seems only right to join the crew of a schooner for a 5-day voyage sailing out of Plymouth on May 24th. It would be rude not to.

The Schooner Johanna Lucretia at full sail.
