Catching up on @prancingponypod.bsky.social episode 347 and very much a fan of @donmarshall72.bsky.social's tea metaphor. Parallels to James Acaster's Brexit analogy.

I'm working my way through The Letters of J.R.R. Tolkien and read letters 29 and 30 last night. Very apt for the current climate and a brilliant example of how much respect to owe to fascist.

Oh wert thou in the cauld blast, On yonder lea, on yonder lea; My plaidie to the angry airt, I’d shelter thee, I’d shelter thee: Or did Misfortune’s bitter storms Around thee blaw, around thee blaw, Thy bield should be my bosom, To share it a’, to share it a’. #BurnsNight

I'm now the proud owner of a library card. This also gives me access to Borrow Box and allows me to download ebooks, audiobooks, and online magazines.

Red weather warning received bracing for Storm Éowyn to hit. Distracting myself by reading The Letters of J.R.R. Tolkien. Working from home tomorrow, so hoping the roof stays put.

I've just finished Double Eagle by Dan Abnett. Although I enjoy the 40K setting, I sometimes struggle with the accompanying novels. Not this, Abnett has drawn inspiration from the Battle of Britain and follows humans desperately defending Enothis from the Chaos legions. 5 stars
