We’re awaiting the fantastic Rena Morfi to wrap up the Greek Fest at Darling Harbour , she was due on stage at 19:00 and just about to come on stage now-ish, clearly thinking it’s still too early. #NotInAthensNow

Off to stickybeak at an upstairs flat for sale. It overlooks the depressing street (not the not-quite-depressing courtyard), gets afternoon sun (important in the winter as my side of the building is freezing), and has an extra bedroom.

How do you politely tell people that the driver won’t let them on the bus when the bus has left the stop at interchange, but is stopped at the red lights to exit, because the drivers don’t want to lose their jobs?

The Sword of Guillaume. A trip to Brighton. Unrequited love. Upper-class medieval bloody mindedness. Dodgy council deals. Tom Barnaby flirting to the point where I’m sure he occasionally strayed. An introduction to Tom’s cousin John. A cracker of an episode. #MidsomerMurders
