Book twenty-eight of 2024. A very satisfying morning of research. Finally read the whole of Essex Cholmondeley’s biography of Charlotte Mason. What a woman! I think I’ve researched all the info elsewhere but it was still great. #AmReading

Book twenty-seven of 2024 is the magnificent The Company of Owls by @pollyrowena with its stunning cast of Cumbrian wildlife. And wonderfully strange to remember almost all of the events playing out and then reading about them years later. #AmReading

Book twenty-six of 2024 was largely read in the bath as I recovered from some sort of slipped disc. This is how you lose the Time War by Amal El-Mohtar and Max Gladstone. Not my usual fare. Beautifully written but I’m not sure I got enough of the references!

@LorenCafferty @Morrisons It's annoying cos I paid more for an early slot as I had plans tonight. Went out, came back and still nothing! I've emailed, but it'll be 2-3 days for an update 🙄 Suspect too many people are off sick, they've been understaffed apparently.

Urgh, the @Morrisons order that was due at 3.30pm today has not arrived. No updates from them and the website says it is still pending. Will it arrive tomorrow instead? Will they cancel it? Will I have to actually go to the supermarket and buy replacement food? 😱😱😱

Guys what is the worst word students use in essays that really grinds your gears? I really hate “show” … like, circle it in everything I read level of hatred. Gives me the analytical ick.

I don’t know if it’s because I have listened in one giant catch up but I rather enjoyed the bonkers Scrooge story in #TheArchers alongside the inevitable emergence of George the hardened con

@KatyaTaylor Sadly, I think there are worse. And I still have hope that the military and police won’t start to “disappear” the likes of Harris. But yes, it all feels very bleak this morning.

The same @Literacy_Trust research shows that “Nearly twice as many children and young people who read comics in their free time told us that they enjoy reading compared with those who didn’t read comics in their free time (58.6% vs. 33.1%).” It is time to invest in comics/GNs.

@KatyaTaylor Yeah, still a bit haunted by “in 5 years you won’t have to go out and vote.” I am just hoping he meant because it won’t be close then and not what he might mean!

Peak village tonight. Pub landlord setting off incredible fireworks to the absolute thrill and joy of all the kids, who spontaneously yelled “thank you” as the display finished. And then a pork roast and chips for a fiver.

@ScouseLakes I think that’s the longest ban that can be imposed. He’d have to reapply then, and seems unlikely he’d get a post anyway. 😳

Book twenty-five was Robert Harris’ The Second Sleep. Loved the premise. Kept me engaged throughout. #AmReading

Last night @halekatie and I conducted “Horrible History” tours around the village to raise money for the local hospice. Safe to say we had a great night AND got some very odd looks in the local afterwards.

Book twenty-four of 2024 is a real privilege to have read. @halekatie new manuscript, before it heads out into the world. And it’s beautiful, and haunting. #AmReading (in our half term holiday home.)
