Where are you now and what can you see?
I’m sitting on my bed. I can see the cold, half-empty cup of tea I was sipping from last night and the fresh cup of coffee I am drinking this morning.
What are you currently reading?
The Cruel Way: Switzerland to Afghanistan in a Ford, 1939 by Ella Maillart. It’s a travel memoir about two women who did exactly what the title suggests. The journey was, in part, undertaken to wean Maillart’s companion, Christina, off opium. They sleep on the side of the road, discuss politics and philosophy and have run-ins with border guards.

A grand Georgian manor where writer Evelyn Waugh lived and died has gone on the market for £5.5m.
The author of Vile Bodies, Brideshead Revisited and Sword of Honour bought Combe Florey House in Somerset in 1956 and his family lived there until 2008.
In the Waughs time there, the house was often filled with glamorous and clever guests like poet John Betjeman, actors Peter Cook and Alec Guinness and writers Salman Rushdie and Muriel Spark.
The 12-bedroom house has had a makeover since and is now a light-filled spacious family home with a party barn, swimming pool and 34 acres of land.

If you have a spare £5.5 million and you are in the market for a home with an interesting provenance, read on.
The Somerset home of famous author, Evelyn Waugh, is up for sale.
In its time Combe Florey House, eight miles from Taunton, was frequented with a host of celebrity types from writers to actors.
Waugh, who wrote Brideshead Revisited, Scoop and Vile Bodies, had a taste for âeccentric and lugubriousâ decoration, writes Patrick Kidd in The Times.
