2025/5 - This was a peculiar one; quite intense. Very odd that Oakwell Hall made a late appearance.

This is where you miss out by not following cricket - because the few nations that do are spread across the Northern and Southern Hemispheres, you're never more than a few hours from another match starting.

2025/4 - Book 4; this was a slow burner, but it picked up well. Ended up enjoying it but glad to leave these characters and settings for a little while.

When birds start following you home, like you were in Hamelin, you might have to rethink. Not whether to fix it, but where to store the birds.

I know it's silly, but I've already seen a fair bit of promotion for the Tokyo season opener with the Dodgers; while I appreciate that means nothing, it just feels odd that it would built up around a player who was traded.

Somewhere between an hour and two, but without any pressure recently it can be really difficult to escape research wormholes.
