Finished last night Cherith Baldry's The Last Knight of Camelot - the chronicles of Sir Kay - short stories of Arthur's foster brother and seneschal, very engaging tales on something I wouldn't normally go for. My wife chose at random my next book - Larry Nivens 'Inconstant Moon'. #scifi #booksky

11 November 2025.

There's something that feels a bit dead about the world right now, but tens of thousands of people just came together to help us solve a 100 year old mystery about a little blue jelly, and I find that heartbreakingly hopeful:

Wolfsburg are in a hole, and things might be about to get worse before they get better. This week’s @sport.theguardian.com Bundesliga column about a club trying to find its place in the new order of German football www.theguardian.com/football/202...

Happy There Is A Circulatory System Walking Through The Kitchen Day to all who celebrate.

Just finished Dark Winds S3, very enjoyable series

Did tonight a Prawn, Pumpkin and Coconut curry which was delicious, definitely do this again, onions garlic pumpkin chilli's all from the #allotment. More of a soup/stew than curry but bloody tasty.

Given up on watching Liverpool disappoint, and back to sanding in the hallway.

I wonder if all the Arsenal conspiracy bots are in overdrive as to why Stockly park and PGMOL seem to want Man city to be their challangers this season.

New #running shoes 😍

Fascinating essay, you should read (it).

Excellent essay here on the slow strangling of mass literary culture in the West - most clearly in the US, but it's obviously happening here too

Keane!!! #FPL get in!

After doing parkrun a morning spent digging over a good portion of the allotment, so legs feeling it now! Love the colours of the rainbow chard.

Amazing you can get 4 goals in a game and it's still a terrible game 😂

Nice fresh morning for #parkrun in #pontypridd today, possibly the last outing for current Asics, they've done well, 533k in them, looking to buy tomorrow a new pair. #running

The hiatus is over, and the self-replicating machines are on the loose - this week's article and podcast ep cover John Sladek's anarchic, comic debut SF novel The Reproductive System, AKA Mechasm (1968).

Alfons/Alphonse Mucha (1860-1939), “Medee” (1898), poster for a theatrical production of a play by Euripides, starring Sarah Bernhardt.

In yet another (but final) change to the announced schedule, this week's article will be on John Sladek's "comic inferno" The Reproductive System (1968), and will be available shortly!

What have I been up to? I take a look at what I've read this week, what's coming up, book buying, bunch of stuff. Check it out 👀! 🪐📚💙 #scifibooks #sciencefiction #booktube youtu.be/bcEAr5Z0uU8?...

Leipziger by Brauerei an der Thomaskirche (Germany) Style: Pils ABV: 5.0% バッハが眠る教会のすぐ横にあったお店で詰めてもらったPils、美味しい 小さく見えますが、ウルケルのジョッキは0.5Lです（右は2L缶）。これを今日は飲み切る！ #beer #bskybeer

Was waiting in for my delivery of my #beersky advent calander from Fullers Brewery, only for DHL to knock and tell me it's leaking over the back of their van 😭😭 So of to my local the Pipeworks to salve my soul, with Deya's 10th birthday beers amongst others. @rogerprotz.bsky.social

2nd pre-order delivered! Really enjoyed the original book, this revised edition of 'There is no Anti Memetics division' by @qntm.org has a beautiful new cover. #booksky #scifi

New Midlake album today, sweet joy 😊

Nobody escapes the Dark Judges! The Judge Death Mega-Special is on shelves now! https://bit.ly/3V5LLvL

appy International Stout Day 🖤 What better way to mark the occasion than with our Nitro Stout Brock? Smooth, perfectly balanced, and irresistibly creamy. If you haven’t tried it yet, today’s the perfect excuse to head to the pub 👍🍻 Who’s having a stout today?

High Noon in the Tangle Wood.

I take a look at all 11 books I read in October, rank 'em mercilessly and ultimately declare a book of the month! Check it out 👀! 🪐📚🩵 #scifibooks #sciencefiction #wrapup #booktube youtu.be/Zy5Y3BJ_4as

Delivery today of one I pre-ordered as soon as I possibly could, the latest from @markzdanielewski.bsky.social Tom's Crossing, a sweeping huge 1200 page western. Surprised to see it's the US printing too, with its deckle edging, must not have a UK publisher. Cannot wait to get into this.

Post a book you love from the 80s. No explanations, no reviews, just covers. #BookSky #bookchallenge #readingchallenge #readingcommunity #booktok #bookish #books

I'd just like to confirm that I am not the resurrection, and certainly do not plan to be the life.

Think Van De Ven might have wrapped up goal of the season already #spurs 😳😳👍

Great result and performance from #liverpool if it wasn't for Courtois who was Madrids best player, could have been 3 or 4 past them.

That ref shit the bed when he thought he'd have to give a pen against Madrid. #LIVRMA

Into Cardiff with the kids, back from Uni on a reading week, bit of shopping and lunch at Mowgli, as always amazing Indian Street food, ate way too much! Managed to get to the Oxfam bookshop and picked up this Michael Moorcock SF Masterworks Behold the Man #booksky

Relatively new to the #TBR shelf but straight into the #nowreading is Ken Macleod's 'Descent', near future Scotland, cover-ups, conspiracy theories, UFO's. Looks great! #booksky

#FPL GW10 finished with small green, from OR 1.75m to 1.70m, those Keane defcons helped push over the line. Already made a transfer Gyok to Mateta.

Really enjoying my new Dan Brown book, the world’s greatest code breaker took three chapters to figure out a word was written backwards. My first draft looks like fucking Shakespeare next to that

Very silly, by the end I was skipping through it to finish. One to donate for the hospital free book library. #booksky

Prediction. End of this season Pep leaves and Iraola is offered the #MCI job Up the cherries! 🍒 #MCIBOU

#scifi currently reading Transmission Error by Michael Kurland, thankfully short book, quite silly tbh. #booksky

Dislike the dislike idea.

How do I dislike this idea.

When using cruise control in the car, I really can't set it to an odd number, it's gotta be an even mph 🤨😜

Interesting I thought that Slot only made 1 #LFC substitution last night compared to throwing loads on to control games recently.

Gyökeres to Mateta seems obvious now #FPL

So Much New Beer!! Super, properly super rare German beers. Steady rolling strate and steady strata TIPA. New sticky stouts Chunky Belgian beers There’s more but I’m busy, fireworks tonight at 6pm. Gotta fill my fridge for you lot.

Had to drop my wife at Cardiff Central Station early, so took opportunity to goto a new #parkrun in #tremorfa, a nice flat wide course, figure of 8, round a park and under lovely autumnal trees. Friendly marshals, saw a little black/white cat sitting by a fence waiting to cross into the woodland!

A little look at the orchard this morning. Excuse my voice, still not recovered from the past week’s illness. Just a few of the varieties still left.
