Please scan down 'my medical story so far' for upcoming medical appointment dates - and if you are free, kindly book yourself in! They are all mid-mornings at UCLH, except 21st Jan which is 3.30pm. It has been too long since I last ate at Il Sorriso, and I've discovered the wonderful Turkish Ev now, too. So do join me..
Have ordered vast quantity of dried fruit with intention of making Xmas cakes for all three households where I'll be spending the season.

Entirely oblivious of Lewis Hamilton's triumph, last night I escaped into a glorious BBC4 play, tracing the history of Mills and Boon. And, joy of joys, discovered this morning that I'd dreamt spectacularly M&B-style, and remembered it! All sweeping staircases, ripped shirts, and a terribly difficult decision: how to choose between two exceptionally charming male admirers? Review their postcard collection, obviously (or maybe they were etchings, or stickers, or short story ideas on postcards) - it was a dream, after all. Cruelly woken by Rabbi Lionel Blue on too loud Radio 4 worriting over how to raise his aching body from a cosy bed.

No idea what the picture is.

We couldn't take more than about five minutes of the Mills & Boon play, but check this out (Stella Duffy trying to write M&B book - 'never "a novel"'). Don't leave too long, only has shelf life of 6 or 7 days.

Watched it last night - she just couldn't get the tone right, could she? I thought the M&B editor was exceedingly charitable with her finished effort.
As SD worked out for herself, you have to really, really want to write one for it to work. And she didn't. Thought some of the authentic M&B readers/authors were downright scary.
