This is what I thought I might first call this blog. Because l’esprit de l’escalier (the problem of thinking of the witty remark “on the staircase” – that is, too late) is something from which I suffer. It’s also (I think) an excellent pre-condition for becoming a writer.

But then I thought this would be too French.

Because, although I love French, maybe not everyone out there loves it to the same degree.
