Gastroscopy MUCH better this time. Great team, solicitous and efficient. God bless Lancaster Royal Infirmary Endoscopy Unit. And my daughter Rose, who wangled a weird way through the hospital backlot with the car. It was like being ushered out of the stage door into a limo, OK yeah I'd had sedation.

Target novelisations: Rob read scene “Kroll” where Kroll explains what’s happening; Steve a scene from“The Vampire Mutation” with the Doctor confronting the villains in the company of Leela. And Simon Guerrier read a Sarah Jane and Fourth Doctor meeting from “The Six Doctors”. All fabulous stuff!

Finished reading ‘The Mistral’, by Felix Mosse, and it was okay. Started a little blandly but grew as it went on. I’ll be interested in any sequel. Next up, going by back to my books-about-bookshops-and-libraries obsession with ‘The Bookshop on the Shore’, by @jennycolgan.bsky.social ☺️
