Now I love my #lego but I wouldn't know where to start with this. Chester Cathedral and its just over 6 foot long

Another of my preorders just arrived. Wasn't expecting it for a few more days, but it instantly jumps to the top of my TBR pile. @tomgauld.bsky.social is a genius.

Another of my preorder books just showed up. Past me was very clever if a little spendy

Got this on pre-order. May have spent too much on books this month

More book post. I am having a good day. Looking forward to some @garethlpowell.bsky.social short stories.

Spooky book post from the wonderful @okcomics.bsky.social Who killed Nessie by @paulcornell.bsky.social and @rachaelsmith.bsky.social As a Scotsman, I am so looking forward to diving into this. Do hope it's not the English at fault.

Books read in 2025 A Litter of Bones by J.D. Kirk An interesting new to me addition to the Tartan Noir school of writing. #booksky 📚 Full review on Goodreads www.goodreads.com/review/show/...

Bit of a Japanese theme to the latest #lego build

Books read in 2025 Framed In Death by J.D. Robb Book 61 in the near future police procedural series, but it's like slipping on a pair of comfy slippers. Probably as close as I'll get to Cozy Crime. #booksky 📚 Full review on Goodreads www.goodreads.com/review/show/...

This is beautifully evil

Books read in 2025 Runaway Santa by Heide Goody & Iain Grant I really had to do book 2, and it's just as fun and silly as the first one. Every so often you just need a book that makes you laugh #booksky 📚 Full review on Goodreads www.goodreads.com/review/show/...

My life is complete. I have had a letter published in @privateeyenews.bsky.social Surely fame and fortune will now follow. Hmm Does this mean @adammacqueen.bsky.social is now a colleague?

Books read in 2025 The Festive and the Furious by Heide Goody & Iain Grant Been a month since my last book but did not expect to be reading a Christmas book though. This could quite easily be a British comedy movie from the 70's. Fun silly and very funny. #booksky 📚 Full review on Goodreads

I'm a little sad about this, @404ink.bsky.social was where I discovered some wonderful writers and some brilliant books. I hope they have success with their next moves. #booksky www.404ink.com/blog/2016-2026

I have just discovered the BBC has a new release out today. For my money John Finnemore is one of the finest #UkComedians working today. How they haven't made more of a fuss of this is beyond me. Oh, unless it's because it's on the Radio, so they don't care. www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/...

Did not intend to buy any books today, but then I saw that @tkingfisher.com new novel was out, and not only is it signed but just look at how pretty the splayed edges are. Yes I did bring it home

Todays #lego build. The Jane Austin study GWP set. This is possibly my favourite GWP set. Given the size of it, it's come out really well

Burst water main has taken out a big chunk of the North Wales coast. There's 3 water stations open. All with incredibly long queues, so went to Asda instead. Is it cynical to think this is Welsh Waters plan?

This is the little GWP set I got last month. It was a nice little build. Surprised #lego don't release it as a proper set. It fits nicely with the rest of the botanical.

3:30 am I hate Insomnia

Books read in 2025 #booksky 📚 The Butcher of the Forest by Premee Mohamed A dark claustrophobic Fairy Tale Full review on Goodreads www.goodreads.com/review/show/...

I'm not sure those two are supposed to go together, but it was a fun Sunday build

Top of the pops from 1978. Black Sabbath and Whitesnake. What more could you ask for?

I am not convinced my wife would agree with this

I could not put this better

Took a while but it's done now. Quite a nice build #lego

That's a big part of my childhood gone news.stv.tv/scotland/gle...

Some good looking books here
