Does what it says on the tin.
Oof, pals, the book is in the wild in the US soon, but it seems they may like it.

One of the things I love with this house, is that you can get up, put your pedal to the metal, and be in Barcelona for lunch.

Up and on, and the house knocked at me. I know, sounds weird, but as the season changes, the house makes her own noises. Knocking is one of them. She's 821 years old and full of life.

In not too long a time, I will be invited to see the transformation of the NoL's house with the new people. They are LOVELY and love the house and his spirit. Huge changes, and it's gonna be a challenge. But a good one.

WH, who is such a criminal that she was found on a road, trying to get home after a 24km solo hike, as we were on a mountain, I'd had it shouting and crying and walking and gone home, wants another walk. She was trotting along the road home.

More party pictures coming in. Because who doesn't celebrate a book with a lot of pig and crisps, in a church? The jamon was decimated, btw, which is exactly how it should be. Well done, gang.

We turned out the chandelier last night and it was like the last moments of Cheers. No, we're closed.

Turn off the gold light switch for the chandelier and slam the door really hard as long as you have taken out the rubbish! Probably the best life advice ever.

I think you will all (most of you) be immensely proud of me that last night - bearing in mind I know zero about football - someone made me sign their copy of BORN for a friend with 'West Ham are still shit'. In the house of God. People have no respect.

For whatever reasons, Mr I & I have skin in the Ukraine game, and Ukrainians LOVE a pet. Cats, dogs, budgies, squirrels, name it, they love it. So Mr I today has been walking a cat on a lead. With a boxer dog.

Got chatting on the train back from Edinburgh with a pair of Indian doctors who'd just flown in the Dubai, and a yogi from Wales, as you fucking do. And the yogi read us her poem about the reversal of Roe v Wade and I did a big pause. It's unbelievable. Mr I, who has no time to any nonsense went 🆗

My author copies for BORN arrived today! People do unboxing videos but that's not exactly my style. I'm going to gift wrap one and walk it up to our 85yo chain smoking pal in Spitalfields. He's a backgammon champion. His doormat says, 'I like it dirty'.

Someone congratulated me on my achievements as an 'amateur historian'. And complimented my research methods. For a nanosecond I took it badly, then I decided, only bring it on.

People quite often ask me if I employ researchers as the scope of my research is so wide. I cannot imagine a world where I would do that. I do that.

Pals, as there's a lot to do, WH is staying on her little farm where they breed water spaniels. IKR. She's stayed there before, and has a perfect little wendy house of her own to sleep in, tons of pals and a woodland to explore, but I can't stop myself from looking around for her.

Back in the pool today. Did my mile, and in the changing room a lady said this was her recovery dip, chatting and she said, I ran 103 miles in the dark over the weekend. OK THEN.

Sightings in the wild of your books are so random. Mr I was on the Tube once with a man reading Milk, and he got up as he left and said to the man, My wife wrote that book. Strong departure.

A periodical reminder that when the shit hits the fan, the NHS shows up. It is the benchmark of a society. Yes, it has its flaws, assholes, and awful moments but it is marvellous.

The Bob Dylan neighbour is coming for his tea tomorrow night. He's on the strugglebus with depression again (I've told him too much Bob Dylan) and he's off his rations so please don't cook a big meal. Only small things. I'm catering for a kid's party. Jammy Dodgers, cheese and pineapple on sticks.

I know everyone can't be as lucky as our mum, but she's 80, and I messaged her on WhatsApp about something and she said, Can't talk, am landscaping the drive. You can't take the girl out of Yorkshire &c.,

Pals, you are going to die. I went to see a different neighbour to check in and he shouted Don't come in! I'm naked and listening to Bob Dylan! I shouted, I'm not coming in! Tell me when it's safe!

Our neighbour at the back lost her husband suddenly last year. She's lovely but it's been tough. She is veganish. Plant based. I was cooking for me today (boring) so I have cooked for two and hung it on her door handle.

Saw off the NoL's extended family. (We all agreed no tears. 😭) What a tremendous legacy he has left us all. Of friendship, generosity of spirit, and my word, some deeply inappropriate laughter.

The normal starter flat for a young couple in London in the 1740s to 60s had no cooking facilities. Laundry was part of your basic expenses and also not done at home.

So, I know, I'm a living stereotype, but my first car was a mini and now I drive a mini convertible. She's super fun, but I didn't realise quite how identifiable she is in France with British plates....

The NoL's extended family are departing piecemeal. Which is good, in a way, as no one wants to look like a torn dish cloth all at once.

The NoL was by origin a Czech Catholic (I am as low 'Protestant' as it comes) and today I found myself in one of our shared spaces of faith, if not in a God, in something beyond ourselves. I was with his extended family and we all lit candles. It was lovely.

Pals, a few years ago we went to Jerusalem for my work and then Palestine and Jordan because go big or go home, and we managed to find a driver, don't ask, who is also a pilot and special forces. Because why not?

Not in England right now: in the street yesterday and someone shouted WHITNEYYYYY, at La Houston. Scenes ensued as WH attempted to destroy him with kisses. It turned out to be our neighbour Marc who once returned WH home after she was found having done a 25km solo jaunt through a national park. 🙄

Scrumpkims, you all know how desperately problematic I find self promotion. My new book will be out in a month. Born. It hasn't only been my story, it's been the story of everyone it has touched along the way.
