If you feel like donating to the RNLI, here’s a link. I just have. Their minimum donation is £2: I think it might be nice for them to receive a lot of donations this week, even if they’re mostly very modest. Just so they know a lot of people out here appreciate their work. rnli.org/support-us/g...

Travelled for this last year. Fed up I’m missing it this time as I’m taking mum to Cromer to watch her eat crab and lose my inheritance on the penny falls. It’ll be great, BSE’s lovely, and you know it’s in great hands with Nic.

I've organised what I think is a great programme of food-related events for this year's @burylitfest.bsky.social. We have a special offer running on tickets right now and I'd so love you to attend. www.burylitfest.co.uk/food-programme
The festival logo (a fountain pen nib) and text that says "this year sees the launch of the festival's first dedicated food programme, curated by local food writer Nic Miller. The programme celebrates Bury St Edmunds' growing reputation as the food capital of East Anglia, piring the town's literary identity with its culinary culture and bringing some of the most exciting voices in food writing to town. Don't miss your chance to be part of this delicious new chapter."

My Ukrainian publisher Ranok asked me to pass along the news that on 8/1 a warehouse was bombed by Russia, burning about 8 million books, including the print runs of their translated Murderbot editions, + The Cloud Roads & Witch King. This really hurts the publishing house, and 1/-

This is the way
Facebook post sharing a poster but up by Thomas House of Dublin.

Poster has AI encircled in red with a line through it, and the Thomas House logo. 

Text reads
So for the future (literally) we're not accepting AI posters or flyers for the pub. 

We're right next to Ireland's biggest art college lads; it's not a good look. 

We understand bands can be skint but relying on some earth killing app from some paedo island billionaires is not the way. We got by without it and we'll get by again. 

If you're stuck we'll help. 

Thanks, Humans.

14 jackdaws just turned up in my little garden, for their mealworm tea. Started with 3 at breakfast a couple of weeks ago. Add to that the full stereophonic workshop of a couple of dozen first brood starlings, and the blackbird, sparrow and dunnock usual suspects. No thrush or robin though. 🌱🦉🌿🐦‍⬛

I still love the theory a Year 6 child proposed to me that David Attenborough is actually God and he got fed up with people not noticing the amazing things he'd created, so he made documentaries to show off.

Reform is a protest party. A protest against decency, integrity, kindness, expertise, and progress. It's a party of pettiness and hate, and it is made up of petty and hateful people from the grassroots to the very top. What it doesn't have is competence. So good luck with the bins and potholes.
