I had no issue with accordions until the husband of a relative turned up with his on Christmas Day, along with song sheets including ’I’ve got a loverly bunch of coconuts’ 😱 They had apparently gone down well in his local old people’s home. Presumably because the residents were unable to escape.

It was Beth Ditto who reminded me how lovely her voice is, another one like Johnny Cash who could probably sing any old nonsense and make it sound deep. Beth did a couple of 6 music shows that were really good recently.

I’m reading 1983 and really enjoying it. I’m a decade older but many things are still familiar, though not many people walked cows in Lewisham in the 70s.

Horrified to see the mess that Unbound have created for authors and supporters. So was pleased to be able to order Tom Cox's latest novel directly from Tom @dj-acid-reflux.bsky.social. I'm stunned and delighted at how quickly it's arrived so can happily recommend his books and customer service!

After being so shafted by Unbound, Tom Cox (one of my favourite authors - here @dj-acid-reflux.bsky.social) is selling his books direct. Delighted to receive this beauty today (I only ordered it yesterday). Highly recommended for all fans of the weird, funny, rambling and surreal.

Cover of Tom Cox's book 21st Century Yokel. Featuring white sky, green hills with chalk cat, badger and sheep figures (illustration by Clare Melinsky).

On their webpage they claim the new company Boundless have taken over the goodwill associated with Unbound. They’ll soon find out there’s very little of that 🤬

I’m seeing this in @applesandsnakes.bsky.social Wordcraft projects that get poets and teachers working together. Children teachers thought wouldn’t be able to create their own poems have, because they’re not about spelling or grammar but about their imagination. Their curiosity has been sparked.

I really don’t understand why the BBC doesn’t allow international subscribers. In the U.K. we pay for the BBC through the licence fee so why not extend this 🤷‍♀️

Tom, I can’t forget this interesting information. I suspect it also applied to my recently deceased cat, who had big round eyes.

That was an excellent t-shirt. The words ‘bad seeds’ still takes me to ‘and if we don’t wanna we won’t behave and they can’t make us ‘cause we can’t be made’. I often sing this to my cats.
