I've always loved your writing—the way I can just relax into your words. Thanks for the book recommendation! I was looking for something wonderful to entertain a friend recovering from knee surgery, so I bought a copy of "The Wedding People" for both of us!

Another “snort on the train and clear the compartment” book is “Hens Dancing” by Raffaela Barker. I’ve been searching for my copy to re-read and suspect it too has wandered off to another home and forgotten how to return. Sigh.

Runs to check if my tiny Swedish countryside library has these books (spoiler: it doesn’t). They’re officially on my ‘London shopping list’ now. Thanks for the tips! P.S. Will keep an eye out for those biscuits too!

Thanks for the tips. I'm looking forward to seeing that film after watching the trailer.

Sorry, Jojo! Mistyped your name... and that is without the crack cocaine biscuits effect! :-)

Thanks, Jojo, for this comprehensive and ecclectic list! :-) I hope you will get your book back, by the way. And thanks for telling me NOT to buy these biscuits, because I know what will happen... Take it easy and just do the other 59 things that need doing one by one. No rush. They will not go away...

I won't recommend my favourite Waitrose Chocolate and Hazelnut cookies then!

This was so wonderful! A mighty list indeed, and by golly, those pistachio crack cocaine bisquits will be devoured by this reader, ASAP!

I loved reading this- felt like putting on mental slippers (no offence). Thank you for book recommendations , probably won’t thank you re biscuits - sadly got very excited and bonded as I too love Octopus and Zen. Does this mean I might be able to write as enjoyably as you too?

Awesome book & film recommendations- plus hurrah for finding companies where humans look after you, not robots! 🤖
