Who'd have believed you'd come along

So suitably dressed, my little post-show jaunt was to the The Costa Book Awards last night and congrats to Sebastian Barry for Days Without End which I started last night and is captivating even after 30 pages. It’s a big old do with many a publicist/author/journo having a jolly twiglet and champagne fuelled party. But those little prize stickers mean a lot so each of the category winners should be THOROUGHLY PLEASED WITH THEMSELVES

(and my scruffs were a triumph, hoorah)

So today, delighted to welcome back Mark Gatiss to the show who is EVERYWHERE. Taboo, Denial, Sherlock are all triumphs for Mark and each part he plays totally different and utterly memorable. Now he’s starring in The Boys In The Band which was late a 60s play, revived last year and is off the West End in London Town.

PLUS welcome to February. A few DRINKING songs (responsible, obviously) will be welcome
