Christmas present idea for that person you don't want to spend too much on. I sign and dedicate a copy of my new paperback to whoever you want and then my local bookshop will post it to you. Email shop@claphambooks,com and it will look like you sort of made an effort...

Huge thanks to the US cast of Mrs Doubtfire who do their last performance of the American tour tonight after 427 shows. I will miss the laughter, the friendships, but most of all, the cheques.

What a beautiful tree. It was planted during the redevelopment of public space near where I live. I know local councillors worked hard to make that happen and I'm such a politics nerd, that I look at this beautiful tree and think - 'I love it when politics works this well.'
