Can attest as someone who gets the luck of hearing everything a week in advance - this is 👌

Using my Bank Holiday to catch up on reading instead of radio 📖 makes for a change!

A medieval labyrinth from Rathmore, Meath. In medieval Christian Europe, labyrinths were often symbols of pilgrimage. Though the parish church at Rathmore may not be a site of pilgrimage itself, the stone may commemorate the journey of one of the Cruise family, who were key patrons of the church.

Happy Manchester Pride!

Hate to pull a “the Brits got it right” but I can definitely admit that to the availability of French toast at twenty past eleven at night

Left my silly little chain at home before my big boy business trip and now I feel like I’m 10

"There is no lossless adaptation of a book." But goddammit @theabigailthorn.bsky.social tries. And the meta-analysis here is worth everyone's while, especially in today's AI misinformation world.

Read both of these in a couple of days before the Colm Toibin episode of Take Four Books. Flew through them. A great episode. #booksksy #takefourbooks #radio4 🎧: www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/...

I managed to squeeze a loving couple’s vows and a Pret meal deal in 45 minutes. That’s value for money!

How was my day? Y’know, radio, a few calls, treated myself to a Pret, suddenly plunged into being a witness at someone’s wedding, treated myself to a chippie tea. The works

After the prospect of giant rescue rats and a shepherd’s pie full of beans, who’s up for a cuddle? Don’t worry, it’s all included in this week’s POTW pres by @jennykleeman.bsky.social w/ @jimalkhalili.bsky.social @lawrennd.bsky.social @dranniegray.bsky.social + more www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/m...
