  1. Just had an apologetic email from #NationalMaritimeMuseum.

    "Sorry, we do not have the staff resources research your question.
    "However, here is a pdf of a relevant letter. [Which answers my query!] And links to useful #BritishLibrary resources. And to another relevant research source. Here's a list of books we've got that you'll need. We've also got a research guide on the #EIC which will help. Also come and see us."

    Pretty damned impressed with this.

  3. Here's St George's #HanoverSquarebityl.co/FiEQ. The Metropolitan Ecclesiastical Directory says: "The congregation of this church includes more of the nobility & gentry than will be met with at any other church in the metropolis." Gorgeous #Georgian #architecture & interior.

    BUT round the back, #GeorgeScharf (my idol) shows us the lively shops & quirky architecture of #MillStreet. Guess the nobility & gentry didn't go round the back much.

  6. In which I draft an #introduction, delete it all apart from "I", restart, pause for tea, write a little, order a book on a random side-topic, think of a neat line for my WIP **, notice an anachronism, google it, disappear down a website for an afternoon, twoot about a detail I've discovered, pause for tea, talk a lot, write a little...

    In which I prove that I need no #introduction to #SlowWriting #procrastination #JamTomorrow
