iiinova — where your digital self keeps evolving

What a great evening. A lovely walk through the fields, a meal with friends, surprise book club and then the Traitors. This month's book is The Artist. Such a beautiful binding. Hope the story is as good.

Definite agreement regarding Mr and Mrs Bennett. His selfishness in not thinking and planning ahead has made her life impossible.

Hmm... perhaps, although presumably his whole ministry is based on the premise that Lady Katherine coughs up the whole lot. He does very little actual vicaring.

My normal reading speed is apparently too fast to appreciate Austen's social commentary.

My daughter and I have started listening to the Rosamund Pike narrated audio book of Pride and Prejudice whenever we are in the car together. It is an absolute joy. I've loved P&P for decades, but I'm discovering how funny it is when I'm forced to listen to every word.

Glad you had a good weekend. It was lovely to meet you. I did come back and buy Tiffany after my daughter persuaded me to stock up on rainbow mini skeins.

I love reading along each year with the Shire Reckoning.

My whole family know to donate pickles to my plate when we go out. #pickleMonitor

That's an impressive list. I hope present day you is equally as chuffed as 20yo you.

A joyous morning. As a colleague said, when you looked at the procession of those licensed or commissioned for new ministries, it gives great hope for the future of God's Church.

Really enjoyed listening to the Occasional Podcast on Children's Literature from @chaletfan.bsky.social . Recommended by Tophole podcast, which is on a summer hiatus.

My kid who is about to go to university was definitely taught phonics. I don't recall whether he did the test. He still has a creative approach to spelling despite the SPAG tests at year 6.

Things I have shouted during dinner: "DO NOT BRING YOUR FRIENDS HOME. I DO NOT WANT THEM IN THE HOUSE". Harsh? I should say that this was to the cat, on loudly announcing that he had brought a live mouse home.

Happy lunchtime #CofEPeeps, and good morning #narthex! I am leaving my (unpaid) post as churchwarden in order to go to theological college, and doing some fundraising for my parish before I go. This Highland Coo can't quite manage. Can you help? www.justgiving.com/page/whatsacoo

My next summer read was "Just one damned thing after another" by Jodi Taylor. Easy to read, cleverly done, good characters, but I'm not rushing to read the next one in the series. I do like time travel and books which embrace the minutiae of institutions, but this was a bit too fast paced.

Liz Hassall @farliz.bsky.social · 08/08/2026

Yes, @dj-acid-reflux.bsky.social , I agree with you. This is the best thing you have written. Loved it. For the best effect, it should be read during an excess of rain, rather than the ridiculous drought we have this year.

A book cover of the book Everything Will Swallow You by Tom Cox. A dark sea, a narrow beach, orange cliffsin the background and collapsing cliffs in the foreground with a small white house nestled between them. A bipedal figure is approaching the waves.

I suspect there may be more than 237 people in the #CofE who support full inclusion of those of different race, sexuality, gender and neurodiversity and who’d like to help fund the election campaign for General Synod? justgiving.com/campaign/inc...

The Shedunnit bookclub book is Tour de Force by Christianna Brand. Then it's on to my huge pile of books I really want to read. I'm so looking forward to the next couple of weeks.

It's time to consider my summer reading. First up is to complete my July book club reads. My Surprise Book Club book is a collection of 4 long essays by Virginia Woolf. I'm nearly at the end of the third one and the book club is meeting tomorrow evening.

This is the best thread. Slightly concerned about the snake.

I just finished listening to the audio book of Everything is Tuberculosis by John Green. Incredible book, both hopeful for the future and warning of the perils of ignoring the virtuous cycles

I would also read that novel. This is the thing I love most about thrillers and detective stories: the background setting and description where the author really knows their stuff. Similar thing is Girl with a Dragon Tattoo and magazine publishing.
