Fancy a literary evening out in London, thinking about historical non-fiction and its usefulness (or not)? I’ll be at this ‘Winner of Winners’ event with m’good pal Diarmaid MacCulloch and other starry writers like him.

I’ve only been back at work for two days and I’m already behind with emails.

I’ve known Bishop Helen-Ann Hartley since our doctoral days (she remains a very important person to me). And she’s *always* stuck her own neck out to defend those who are vulnerable, marginalised, or traumatised. She’s always been completely ace.

End-of-term present from one of my students, who was clearly paying attention in lectures when I explained (and then repeatedly referred to) the gods’ ‘Ready-Brek radiance’. If you know, you know (hi 80s kids)!
