It's Monday again and today I'm reading "Saints” by Amy Jeffs What book(s) are you reading this week? 💙📚 #BookSky #AmReading #MondayReads #TBR alt text in images please

Done all the shopping for the recipe ✅ Prepped ingredients ✅ Fully read the recipe and started at the right time ❌ Oh well - I suppose I’ll be having my curry at half time in the football and I’ll console myself with a desert for a starter

Long day driving to meetings and back, got home to discover this delivered. I have no idea when I purchased or heard of it (I’m guess 6Music) but I like it a lot. Whimsical, folksy I suppose…but very relaxing

Wandering round the park with Sherlock before the rain came down

I fully accept I am not much good at this photography thing, but it gives me something to focus on and a reason to go for more walks. I need to find where the slow, lethargic birds hang out to get more photos

Last week I got lost listening to Promenade by the Divine Comedy, another John Martyn album arrived courtesy of ⁦‪@normanrecords‬⁩ and I was in an Elliott Smith kind of mood Check out my report for Last.week at www.last.fm/user/simonan....

It’s Monday once more and I’m still reading the Dungeon Master’s Guide 2024 What book(s) are you reading this week? alt text please

I hesitate to recommend the stronger words weekly email as it is directly responsible for me purchasing too many books…but if you like books www.strong-words.co.uk (the magazine is good as well). This weeks purchase “everyone loves our dollars” by Oliver Bullough (turns out I already bought 2)

Sunday morning wandering

Must be pheasant season as a lot of people out hunting today. Hopefully this bunch stayed out of the way. Sherlock disgraced himself rolling in unmentionable stuff

I took this photo at the weekend (yes I know it’s terrible) I had no internet at the time but Picture Bird assures me it is a Black Hawk-eagle which I’ve decided to believe…

It's Monday again and today I'm reading "Things We Found in the Ground" by Eleanor Bruce & Lucilla Gray What book(s) are you reading this week? 💙📚 #BookSky #AmReading #MondayReads #TBR alt text in images please

“Retribution Road”, glad I stuck with it as probably the best book I have read in ages. Every word of the character building in part 1 pays off. It could end 2 or 3 times but each ending is better. It made me happy in the end. Also recommend “turning blue”, on to “Damascus Station” now

My books cartoon for this week’s @theguardian.com

Giovanni’s Room was excellent if a difficult read (makes you want to rush to Paris). “The ruin of all witches” was an incredibly detailed account of superstition, circumstance and who knows maybe some magic. On to “turning blue” by Benjamin Myers now (bleak Yorkshire winter, starts well)

That’s Sunday sorted, I’m ignoring Discogs telling me I didn’t need another copy of Bryter Layter until it starts sorting artists by surname rather than forename or I sort my record collection out

For a Saturday, it feels very Monday-ish. London it is. Blueberry muffins will be consumed
