A thread of notes I've made in my notebook about my dad: 1. The Swimming Pool.

Just offered my wife a Ferrero Rocher. She actually took one, well she took two, truth be told. We've been married for 20 years. I don't see us lasting much longer.

@aniaur.bsky.social Happy Christmas from my lot to yours!

I just don't understand social media. I write one post every couple of weeks, and it never gets any engagement. I'm loathe to move to a once a week schedule, as that reeks of desperation and a certain narcissism.

This #TotvLiv game is going the same way that a lot of my #FootballManger matches turn out.

In case anyone is still struggling to find a Christmas present for that special person in their life who enjoys shortish novels about childhood, mining, robots, alpacas, aliens, education, magic and the lost countryside of the Nearly North, I hear this is ok. www.amazon.co.uk/1983-Tom-Cox...

Just on the off chance you're still looking for the right psychedelic novel to buy someone this Christmas. Especially if they're into earth magic, teenage warrior queens, talking hills, weird lost folk records & irascible rivers teeming with the voices of dead souls www.amazon.co.uk/Villager-Tom...

I'd rather watch a Jim Jarmusch or Hal Hartley film, then anything Marvel produce. #filmsky

There is an incredible essay by Nazanin Zaghari-Ratcliffe on imprisonment & the meaning of freedom in the FT Edit app today. She writes about what books meant to her during that time in Iran, and how taking away a person’s ability to think herself away to a different place is a form of torture.

There is no greater compliment for an author than being asked to sign a book that is just WRECKED. Binding cracked. Pages curled. Finger grooves in the edges. A book that has been read to death, and is still a prized possession.

Go and buy it then!

This is a book that's been frequently dismissed by people who only read its first 1/4 and thought it was a different book to the one it actually is. So it's especially nice when a true, passionate reader - who's also a great writer - properly gets it thinkaboutreading.wordpress.com/2024/08/14/1...

Arsenal just too strong for is tonight. Just shows how far behind we are. However, I'm liking what I've seen from Amorim so far, and actually excited to see where we go under him. @ManUtd

Ah, football. It's sports entertaining isn' it? Watching the build up to Man City v Forest, and it's hyped me so much, this is the most important thing that is happening on earth right now. And I don't support either team

Does anyone fancy building a #SocialNetwork aimed specifically at trolls and hates mongers, so that when 'X' collapses, they all have somewhere to go instead of #Bluesky??
