He is lying on a floral bed cover with copies of his books spread out around his head like a booky halo. Books from left are: Making Friends, My Glass is Runn, Spirit Houses, Cool S and 365 Lies.

White book cover with words β€˜ARE WOMEN HUMAN? Dorothy L. Sayers. Penetrating, sensible, and witty essays on the role of women in society.’

White book cover with words β€˜ARE WOMEN HUMAN? Dorothy L. Sayers. Penetrating, sensible, and witty essays on the role of women in society.’

β€œWhat we ask is to be human individuals, however peculiar and unexpected.”

For #InternationalWomensDay, the @goldenagemysteries.bsky.social gang and I are reading Dorothy L. Sayers’ β€˜Are Women Human?’ A sometime witty, mostly exasperated reply to very silly attitudes in 1938, which still persist.

Today's non-administrative task is working on this. Two weeks to go until the big day and it looks as if there is still space available to attend either in person or online:

Yesterday in the cocktail bar of the Burgh Island Hotel I met a very spry gentleman of 90 having a martini. I asked him the secret of his spryness. His advice was:
1. Don't eat too much
2. Do drink too much
3. Never wear jeans
