On the contrary, as Sir Michael Marmot and I outlined in Prospect

Taken this morning. Library Walk, Manchester

Spending an inordinate amount of time making sure none of my characters' names are too similar or start with the same letter. (Just read a great book with two main characters who had four-letter names starting with the same initial and I got so confused).

Fargo season 5 is amazing. Juno Temple is incredible. My gushing review is available now. Why are so few people talking about #Fargo ??

Was nice to see a Red Kite perched on a dead tree this morning
