Bluesky, I bought shelves today. And they took more books than I expected. Am pretty chuffed, tbh. Maybe the magically all my books are out of boxes day is near.

If I'd know being a Eurovision winner was a pre req for being a candidate for Irish presidency I would have made different life choices.

A moment of silence for the Pagliacci joke. It got us through tough times, but is well and truly dead. It is survived by its loved ones, @brainmage.bsky.social, @jeffstormer.gobirds.online and many others. If this news has left you feeling depressed then... I'm sorry, I don't know what to tell you.

Extremely entertaining extracts from the diaries of former chief whip Simon Hart in The Times today. Kemi, Suella and myriad others come off about as well as you’d imagine. www.thetimes.com/article/e25f...

Am reading Caledonian Road by Andrew O'Hagan and it is I guess a big state of the nation book but feels more like a state of London book.

So I know the title of this song is Polyawkward but I once misheard it as polyorchid and I can't unhear it.

This book was so good. Propulsive and yet very nuanced. I missed it when it came out in 2017, but definitely want to rec it widely now. #booksky #backlist
