Just in case you need to know you can give yourself a splinter with a piece of your own nail.

Managed to block myself in while book sorting.

Sometimes I remember how annoyed I get by the 2005 Pride and Prejudice adaptation.

April hopefuls. I’m not very good at selecting a stack of books and actually reading them all as I’m a mood reader. However I’ve picked out a few I hope to read this month. What are you looking forward to reading? #booksky📚

Jess Kidd - Q&A fromfirstpagetolast.wordpress.com/2025/03/10/j... via @janetemson.bsky.social

It’s our 18th wedding anniversary today. We’ve been together 30 years. 10/10 no notes. Would marry again.

Today on the blog I’ve got a Q&A with Jess Kidd, talking about her new book Murder at Gulls Nest @faberbooks.bsky.social fromfirstpagetolast.wordpress.com/2025/03/10/j...

Made a new friend today. Not sure he was as pleased to see me though.

Finished it, loved it, already impatient for book 2 @faberbooks.bsky.social
