My ‘now’ page

What I’m reading

• What I Ate In One Year by Stanley Tucci [Audio]
• The Restless Republic by Anna Keay

What I’m watching

• My wife has been watching a show called ‘Sirens’ and it is awful. It reminds me of last year’s awful show ‘The Perfect Couple’ that starred Nicole Kidman.

One cool thing

• I have ordered an Orea Z1 (zero bypass) coffee brewer. I’m excited to try this when it finally arrives.

What I’m enjoying

• English asparagus! Especially with the last of this year’s homemade wild garlic pesto.

What I’m looking forward to

• Daughter no. 2 finishes at university, graduates this year, and is coming back to Edinburgh for a while.

Pens on the day

• Conid Bulkfiller
• Omas Arco Celluloid
• Parker Duofold
• Aurora Optima Art Deco
