Quick reminder that tomorrow night I am doing an Instagram Live with lovely Lucy Foley 💙💛🇺🇦. The jeopardy here comes from the fact that I am entirely new to Insta, and don’t really understand how this will work. So tune in to find out!

We did it eventually. I hate technology, but we got it working. Lucy Foley 💙💛🇺🇦 was the soul of kindness and it was so nice to talk crime fiction, and writing, and saunas by the lake.

And in the lobby of the BBC a woman next to me said, “Sorry to bother you but—” and then look what she pulled from her bag (my first sighting in the wild!) (her name is Maureen)

Please join my new game: rating literary characters by whether or not they would have paid for a blue tick. Mr Wickham = tick Darcy = no tick Jay Gatsby = tick Madam Bovary = tick Matilda Wormwood = no tick

My Twitter account says I’ve subscribed to Twitter Blue. I haven’t. My Twitter account says I’ve given a phone number. I haven’t.

I would be very much here for a separate thread including characters from The Wire, The West Wing & Succession…

Connor would pay and loudly argue that it somehow represents liberty, Kendall would pay and claim he hadn't, Roman and Shiv would dismiss it, Tom would pay and cringe while everyone mocks him, and Greg would pay and cancel and pay again. Logan would tell Musk to fuck off.

Lucy Foley 💙💛🇺🇦 As main literary characters go... Jules and Will ✅️ Miranda ✅️ Jess ❌️
