@LiamMcIlvanney A fairly recent discovery for me but I’m making up for it. Currently on Nonesuch and looking forward to a Friday night in with that.

Friday night in with Francis Spufford’s Golden Hill. It’s very, very good - the kind of book that reminds you why you started reading novels in the first place…

@tonyblackburn It’s BRILLIANT!!! As was the chance to talk to Charlie and Paul about creating it! bbc.co.uk/news/articles/…

@BBCPolliemac @CRAIGWILLIAMS4 Thanks both. I’m glad you enjoyed it. Real seat-of-the-pants stuff with only a rough guide of what to do. Great fun and a great show. 😄

Thanks Cove and Kilcreggan bookfestival. I had a fun day and also found my favourite gatepost in the world. Is it a unicorn's horn? Probs.

@CRAIGWILLIAMS4 @RealMacKaySTV Agreed! Bravo John.

@RealMacKaySTV Superb performance yesterday. Was there with @BBCPolliemac and our family and we all laughed like drains. Excellent puddle-based coinage we have now adopted.

Such an original and genuine talent. It was a joy to talk to her when she designed costumes for National Theatre of Scotland’s Cyrano and sad we won’t see the work she planned with Glasgow Print Studio. Condolences to her family.

Btw my dad as chef: Last time my mum left him to cook me dinner I was 14 and he made tomato pasta… …with peanut butter. He said he read it in a cookbook. He never made dinner again #ImACeleb
