Wonderful book launch at @stanfordstravel tonight for “Slow Trains to Istanbul …And Back: A 4,570-Mile Adventure on 55 Rides” by the lovely @tchesshyre, which was a riveting book to work on - serious wanderlust envy throughout!

Introduced my kids to the Cork delicacy drisheen this weekend, which I love (would have been a staple part of my grandmother and mother’s upbringing). Safe to say they weren’t enamoured! #cork
Anyone else flying Luton-Cork/Cork-Luton affected by the scheduling changes to weekend @ryanair flights / have any more info? #cork #luton #ryanair
@Ryanair, what’s happening with the Luton-Cork scheduling? Fri night flight time is now early afternoon + no flights either way on Sundays and Mondays, looking ahead. Means people with school-age kids can no longer get back/forth for a weekend mid-term. Is this permanent?!
Thrilled to be working with @HarpethRoad - thanks for the gorgeous welcome!! 🙏

Word of the day is Zugzwang [tzoog-tzwung]: a situation in chess (and life) in which a move must be made, but each possible one will make the situation worse.

I’ve seen a lot of debuts (& non-debuts!) recently not enjoying being published as they hate marketing and feel like their book isn’t getting noticed and they don’t know what they can personally do. So, here's a v quick list of super-easy things you CAN do...

Publishing twitter: would anyone be willing to help me out with my dissertation on sustainable marketing in UK publishing?
I'm just looking for people to fill out a short survey, would really appreciate it if you could share with anyone you know who works in marketing! 😊

A wee thread about a young boy and the tweet that got away. Feel free to RT.
Three weeks ago my youngest, Gabriel 12, came home upset. His love of woodwork was not deemed cool, nor was only having 6 followers on his instagram. 1/15

But, Covid can progress. Some more details below, but this one golden rule applies always when considering getting help:
USE THE SAME JUDGEMENT AS YOU WOULD BEFORE THE PANDEMIC!
Ask yourself...would I call the doctor or '111' if there wasn't a pandemic? If yes, call. If no..

Sorry to bang on but I really don't want your kindness to go to waste. Sending food and meds across EU is highly complex even for Experts and nigh on impossible for hugely mixed loads of generous donated items. It is better to donate to @DECappeal so they coordinate the need 1/3

This is @BorisJohnson attending mass at a Ukrainian church in London this evening.
To date there is *still* no simple sanctuary route to the UK for Ukrainian refugees fleeing war.
