Listening to a conversation behind me yesterday : ‘we’ve been to a recording of the Graham Norton show. There was a comedian with huge teeth, a woman who was in something called Wicked, Chris somebody who’s big in Hollywood and the Vicar of Dibley’. Bliss.

Anyone know why Box Hill, novel that’s the source of film Pillion, is out of print ? I’d expected a movie tie in cover or at least a reprint ? It seems to make no sense but there must be a reason. In the absence of Box Hill I read Adam Mars Jones earlier Monopolies of Loss -what an excellent writer

Nice person asked me yesterday ‘how do you feel about all the competition as a playwright?’. I surprised myself by saying ‘I don’t think about competitors. I just do my own thing’. Probably sounds a bit smug but I realised that’s my honest feeling.
