A few days ago, I stood in the graveyard of an 1100 year old church, getting damper and damper in the drizzling rain. A woman walked into the graveyard, waved, said hello, and, as we had previously arranged, handed me a paper bag full of human bones. The life of a churchwarden is a strange one...

@gregjenner.bsky.social looking for your totally chaotic books on Uk.bookshop.org and you don’t come up as the author (awkward when I was searching for you rather than the title…). Might want to get your publisher to look into it?

England in April. Blimming gorgeous.
A view from a height of a narrow natural stone arch. Through the arch a turquoise sea can be seen. View taken from the rocky shoreline of sea with large, straight edged boulders jutting out. The sea is calm and at the horizon merges with the sky.

Don’t want to sound like anyone’s mother but the sky is blue again, the sun is warm, dogs don’t walk themselves and you are going to feel considerably better for getting outside than for doomscrolling.

We all need a timeline cleanse right now, so let's start the day with this lovely jug with an octopus motif, dating ca 1200-1100 BC. On display at National Museum Copenhagen. 📷 by me 🏺 AncientBluesky #archaeology
A beige pottery with two handles and a narrow neck, decorated with intricate dark brown patterns depicting a stylized octopus. The vessel is displayed on a white pedestal in a museum setting.

First book of the year was an absolute cracker. Always risky, as the follow up ones have such a high standard to follow. #Pachinko is a family saga in a period of history I know nothing about. Loved it.

Re-reading #SenseandSensibility. Gosh #JaneAusten drew hilarious caricatures of people - imagine what she was like on real life. Or, knowing her and reading one of her books, wondering what inspiration she was drawing on…

De-Christmassed the house, and there is space (and sad absence of twinkly lights).

Hey #booksky, any recommendations for an almost 13 year old who likes mystery novels. Has read all Alex Rider. Preferably avoiding parental death references. Any suggestions?

Anyway, not the child I sat with in minor injuries tonight (injured ankle, no sport for six weeks), but another child of mine had a baby tooth knocked out during a session of kids yoga tonight. Yoga.
