Some of the non-book things I love are my late handsome aged dog, my harmonicas, my young handsome dog, my guitars, my awesome musician son, my handsome husband, my piano and my art.

Shouldn’t university be only for the brightest students? Social or financial status shouldn’t be a consideration. I see large numbers of students with poor A-level results still going to university, struggling, failing or dropping out. I see that as a bigger problem.
Holy crap!
Time is money. If it takes twice as long to do something you earn half as much. This is the brutal fact at the heart of Brexit.
Let’s "Brexit" a £12.99 paperback, blow by blow, and see what difference leaving the single market has made.

Hey @BBCNews this should be your lead story

Weekend reading. On Chesil Beach - Ian McEwan. 53 pages and one glass of wine so far…and I’m enjoying both.
I’m winding down Twitter as that man shows himself to be more bigoted by the day & I’m not comfortable with that.

I’ve given Kala - Colin Walsh 4 stars even though this is not a genre I ever enjoy.
Why did I accept it for review? Because the writing is superb.

Re Twitter alternative. I don’t like mastodon, hive hasn’t taken off, blsky taking too long
So I shall be trying Threads when it launches on Thursday. IG’s text based platform which allows access (if you permit) to IG follows/followers so should be easy to get going.

If your pet doesn't have a broad range of alternative names that are increasingly distanced from their registered one, I don't even know what you're playing at.

Well, this is very nice. The best alcohol free gin I’ve tried so far. Has to be a triple, though, to taste it through the tonic 🙂

Woke at 2:30am (needed a wee!) and couldn’t get back to sleep so started reading Kala - Colin Walsh. I’m a bit gripped already.
I have an ePub for review, thankfully not a PDF, but sometimes I long for print.

This is spot on.
Seven years ago, after the results of the Brexit referendum came through, this young woman was asked to put her thoughts about it on camera. Her eloquent words spoke for so many of us – and her worst fears have tragically come true.

Watched Vera for the first time last night. Far too many twists for a single episode. Made it seem rushed. Also, Brenda Blethyn, whom I love, too often sounding like a Sarah Millican impression.
