I was lucky enough to get this early as a subscriber to the @CharcoPress bundle and it is *fabulous*. An unflinching and darkly humorous account of a savage environment

I ordered my copy of The Night-Soil Men last night and could have bought much more from a great catalog, were it not for financial prudence and a to-read pile that’s more of a to-read fort ATM

I wondered why they had so many signed @BenMyers1 books @LitRiponBkshop today. I should have guessed. Anyway, I’m dead chuffed as I got Pig Iron and These Darkening Days which I *never* see in indie bookshops

I’m currently reading the rather wonderful #MurderBeforeEvensong by @RevRichardColes and this feels very apt

Before Queen Elizabeth II’s coronation, BBC sound technicians measured the loudness of Westminster Abbey’s toilets to ensure flushing sounds wouldn’t be heard during the ceremony.



The moles in our local churchyard are so well established they’re adding their own signage. Although I can’t tell if they’re pro dog ownership or not #moles #crayke #hambletonhills #dogs

The only comparison I can give for what it feels like to read #ManEatimgTypewriter by #RichardMilward is when you fall instantly and completely in love with an album by a band you have never heard before and wish all music could sound like that forever @WhiteRabbitBks


Oh my word. The Tories have been booted out and my long awaited #PHUQDelux order has been shipped ON THE SAME DAY! @GingerWildheart @TheWildhearts

Off work today so think I’ll just take my copy of @StuHennigan’s #GhostSigns and sit and read in the sunshine outside my local polling station #UseYourVote #Gnod

Really enjoyed the @IanBeesleyphoto exhibition #Life @SaltsMill and was very grateful to get hold of a copy of the accompanying book which is as thought provoking as it is beautiful

Hi @juderogers ! Please tell me there are more episodes of your excellent #Songbook incoming? I’ve nearly finished listening to the ones that are available, after discovering it very late, and now I am desperate for more!


Just finished #Empireland by @Sathnam & I have learnt much. Not least that I am clearly lucky to have had progressive teachers who *did* talk about the dark side of British history. Oh, & the ending is sublime. So full of hope. Felt my stiff upper lip quivering


Another great tQ podcast this month @LukeTurnerEsq and @JahDuran. Really looking forward to hearing you discuss Liege & Lief next. My dad bestowed an abiding love of Richard Thompson on me, including Fairport. The LA Troubadour version of Matty Groves is an all time favourite.
