Soup update. I discovered today it wasn't just gravy I ate, mistaking it for soup, it was gravy that had had all the chicken fat poured into from the roast and was ready to be thrown away. So pleased I only ate half of a HUGE bowlfull.

My wife asked if I wanted some soup I'd made a day earlier. I spotted she'd left it on the hob and heated it up. It wasn't very good. In fact I only managed to eat half of it. It turned out I'd eaten the gravy she'd made for lunch.

See you there! #Sinbinisland #Reddwarf

Just read SIN BIN ISLAND by Doug Naylor, co-creator/writer of Red Dwarf. @dougrdnaylor.bsky.social Jack Digby is sent to a “pirate” orphanage & ends up having to survive with three friends on a mysterious island. This is a fantastic book - funny, clever & touching, with lots of action. Great stuff!

Fun chat with @dougrdnaylor.bsky.social ! Looking forward to getting my copy of Sin Bin Island and experiencing that journey. 😃 🪐📚💙

Out tomorrow, Sin Bin Island by @dougrdnaylor.bsky.social is a brilliant magical middle grade adventure full of laughs and I cannot wait for Book2! @dfbstoryhouse.bsky.social #KidlitUK #UKKidlit worldssmallestlibrary.wordpress.com/2025/09/10/s...

I second this. Sin Bin Island is a straight-down-the-line adventure romp, mixed with a really clever time-bending narrative device. And, because it's written by @dougrdnaylor.bsky.social, lots of jokes. Highly recommended. #KidLit #KidLitUK
