A delightful nostalgic slap in the chops. Films incl. E.T. & Jaws & toys & life as a kid of the 70s & 80s. Felt like a kid once more and wanting my Star War5 figures again. “Watching Skies” by @markoconnell.bsky.social is a nostalgic trip & an essential read for anyone born in the 70s. 💙📚 #BookSky

Getting funny looks on the train because of laughing loudly as I leave London for my home (in a quaint village). I thoroughly recommend “Your Guide to Not Getting Murdered in a Quaint English Village” by @maureenjohnsonbooks.com If you live in one you will relate. Heed her words! 📚💙 #BookSky

Beyond thrilled with the LE The Hobbit from The Folio Society. Looks great next to the matching LE Lord of the Rings. 📚💙 #BookSky #FolioSociety #Tolkien

A local Christmas Card for local people. Best get my colouring pencils out. Thanks @reece-shearsmith.bsky.social

My current read is Karla’s Choice by @harkaway.bsky.social I’m only half way through and it’s sublime. Smiley is back! 💙 📚 #BookSky #lovebooks #currentread @harkaway.bsky.social - Thank you 🙏🏻

This is a beautiful book and I receommed it to any STP fans outthere. Anyone else a Discworld fan? 💙📚

Very opt especially with snow inbound in the next days (for my region at least) and raining at the mo.

Copies of this poster appearing in Manchester this weekend. Worth a read. Applicable also to other British cities I am sure. Too many vested interests have talked up the emerging urban model.

Love this. ‘Queue’ is from the French word with the same spelling (but pronounced as ‘kuh’) meaning an animal’s long tail. In the 18th and 19th centuries it also referred to a pigtail and was sometimes spelled as ‘cue’, which gave us the name of the long thin rod used in snooker.

What is Bluesky and why are so many people suddenly leaving X for the platform?

Picked this up from my local independent bookshop. Limited and numbered. Richard Ayoade’s world building of his doppelgänger alter ego Harauld Hughes. Looking forward to diving in. 💙📚 #BookSky

My word of the day (and personal recommendation) is ‘snerdling’ (18th century): nestling cosily beneath the covers and holding off the day a little longer. Morning.
