Blah blah blah etc etc.

A while ago I interviewed Florencia Campicelli, a sommelier from Buenos Aires, about Argentinian wine. Link in reply below.

@mrianleslie You know, the one in 200 hundred times you sit down to write and the words just flow out of you like this electric river. And which you always hope will be the experience the other 199 times— but don’t find out until it’s too late that, no, today is a Hateful Grind Day.

I wrote about Witold Pilecki, the man who volunteered to be imprisoned in Auschwitz. Link in the reply below.

Another Wile E Coyote moment. Link in reply below.

“I was surprised but not amazed when he appeared on our doorstep on New Year’s Day carrying a dead but intact hen pheasant”. Link in the post below.

Ghostbusters, The Lord of the Rings, dystopias, Oedipus and Paddington Bear, among other things. Link in the reply below. Merry Christmas! Happy New Year!

@alifeinbooks Thank you, Susan. Look after yourself. And an early Merry Christmas to you.

@Fishmandeville I'm fine, thanks, Paul. Your piece struck a chord with me. I was diagnosed with MS the year before starting at WBQ and chose a similar approach which has served me well. I hope it works for you.

@alifeinbooks Thank you for the RT. It's good to see your name after such a long time; I'm not on X née Twitter much. I hope you're keeping well.

I wrote about the horrible inevitability of having the rug pulled from under you. Link in reply below.

I wrote about meeting people on the road. Link in the reply below.

I wrote something about art, monkey men and AI. Link in the tweet below.
