Reading & watching- Celestial Bodies (Jokha Alharthi 2010, translation by Marilyn Booth 2018) 29 September 2020The first book by an Omani woman to be translated into English. I have it from my Book-borrowing Club.
- The Beating Heart (Denise O'Hagan 2020) 26 September 2020A new book of poems from Ginninderra Press.
- NetFlix: Staged (Simon Evans 2020) 26 September 2020Michael Sheen, David Tennant and Simon Evans play unflattering versions of themselves in a Covid-times show about rehearsing for a West End production of Six Characters in Search of an Author.

- Celestial Bodies (Jokha Alharthi 2010, translation by Marilyn Booth 2018) 29 September 2020

If this art thing doesn’t work out, she’s always got politics to fall back on. She’s got my vote.
