Reading & watching- Mad, Bad, Dangerous to Know (Colm Tóibín 2018) 19 October 2019Colm Tóibín on the father of three Irish writers – for the Bookclub, described by the Book Chooser as 'suitably macho'!
- Southerly 78.2: The Lives of Others (Elizabeth McMahon (editor) and George Kouvaros (guest editor) 2018) 19 October 2019I've started reading this, skipping the editorial as usual. It seems to be centred around family histories – facing the challenge of being interesting to people who aren't members of those families.
- Unforgotten Season 3 (Chris Lang 2018) 18 October 2019Nicola Walker and Sanjeev Bhaskar on another cold case.

- Total Control (directed by Rachel Perkins 2019) 17 October 2019Fabulous series in which Debora Mailman plays an Aboriginal woman from a tiny rural community who becomes a Senator for a conservative party.
- À l'ombre des jeunes filles en fleurs (Marcel Proust 1919) 15 October 2019The second of the seven books in À la recherche du temps perdu.
- Mad, Bad, Dangerous to Know (Colm Tóibín 2018) 19 October 2019

I also want to go here – just because I feel a part.
