Great to spend some time with @AKurkov before he headed back to Ukraine. Inspiring and insightful as ever. Check on his series on @BBCRadio4 (and obviously read Death and the Penguin and Grey Bees)

@skottallan Thank you very, very much for this. It’s made my day.

Don't miss this month's copy of @waterwaysworld, folks, the biggest-selling and longest-established waterways magazine in the world. I've been an avid reader since I was 1, so it is an honour to have been interviewed by Sarah Henshaw @TheBookBarge, and for my book to be reviewed.

The July issue is out now. This month we explore the Upper Thames in our 8-page cruising guide, take a trip on the Norfolk Broads with @jo_kessel, and hear from @JulianDutton1 about his new book on the history of residential boaters: waterwaysworld.com/magazine/issue…

@JulianDutton1 @waterwaysworld It was a total treat talking to you (your childhood afloat is the coolest I’ve ever come across, for starters) and the book deserves to be read far and wide. It’s WONDERFUL. So sorry for my tardy reply - only just catching up with Twitter again.

Hooray @NatashaFarrant1 for winning the @CostaBookAwards Children’s Book Award tonight with a CHANNEL-CROSSING NARROWBOAT ADVENTURE. If I’d read this as a kid I definitely wouldn’t have waited so long to try it myself. I loved every heroic page of it, and all the puppies too.

Seth has a new sticker book and I think this page alone proves the superiority of French publishing in the genre

Hurrah - there’s finally a corner of Spotify that is for ever UK canals. This is utter aural catnip for boaters.

Has anyone else had their best necklace swallowed by a printer? Can anyone advise how to retrieve? Ta.

@Chenshaw Not quite that straightforward. A small child was involved....x

Printer clusterf**k update: necklace chain saved (minor injuries), pendant still MIA, printer itself presumed dead
English
@kiwi_to_go Thank you. It’s been semi successful. Necklace chain and pendant now out, and machine itself making all the right noises - but printing total garbage. I’ll try to remedy that in the morning, but more than happy right now.
