The @PS_Waverley, the World’s last sea-going paddle steamer, is back on Thames & London trips this Friday for 2 wks (seen here under @TowerBridge, last yr). To stand, pint in hand in its engineroom, is mindblowing. You’ll love it. Book a ticket if you can.

Nearly thirty years as a published writer and this is the first time I’ve used a new device that became instantly irreplaceable (no, I’m not being paid to say this.) It feels like using ink and paper and does everything I want it to do and nothing I don’t need it to do.
I know I’m late to the party, but my son gave it to me on my birthday so to me it’s a very recent revelation. It’s already joined my laptop at the top of my Things I Dread Losing list. #supernote

Facebook reminds me that 14 yrs ago I achieved a victory for the mental health of Londoners. I asked @TfL to revise their travel advice & to be more encouraging about traveling in London during the Olympics. They agreed to drop the Boris Johnson voice-overs on buses and tubes.
Hallelujah.
