My usual self is a very unusual self, and don't you forget it

Things that arrived in the mail today: Ben Macallan's Desdaemona and Ron Drummond's The First Woman on Mars. I like this set-up where I know people who write.

I saw first that Shelagh Delaney had died, and then John Neville. There never appears to have been a Region 1 release of A Taste of Honey (1961), but I know where to find The Adventures of Baron Munchausen (1988). Imagination and the kitchen sink.

"Not yet"? Is that famous?

My Mom knew John Neville, briefly but intimately. She was telling me today about how a friend of hers who used to play the ukelele for Alzheimer's patients visited him in hospital, maybe a month before he died; he had no opinions on what he wanted to hear, so she did "Tiptoe Through the Tulips", and saw him perking up halfway through, starting to treat it as though she was auditioning for him. After, he said: "You're very talented, you know. You could have a career."

Did they work together?

That's lovely.
