Saw this on a trip to Italy, felt like it was a criticism of British cuisine

I had the day off so got the chance to catch the afternoon performance of Teechers in Bradford. Amazing play, would recommend if you get the chance to see it!

Thoroughly enjoyed Out of the Box at Bingley Arts Centre today (even if I was called up onto stage for a big part of the show). Excellent family fun, my kids aged 8 and 11 loved it!

Had an amazing time at @wifiwars.bsky.social show yesterday! Would recommend to anyone. My 8 year old son decided to give himself the handle 'Giant Poo' for some reason.

Got this as a birthday gift today, along with another horror book called The Troop (looks fantastic) and an Edgar Allan Poe collection. So I should be ok for horror for a while! #booksky

Amazing afternoon of Robo Bingo with @foxdogstudios.bsky.social in Bradford. My 8 year old was Minty Raven and was crying with laughter through most of the show! I highly recommend.

My October reads. Enjoyed each one but I'd say Lucky Day was my favourite.

Kids have taken a real interest in Warhammer after trying it out on a school open evening. Took them into the shop at the weekend and they had their first try at painting a model. Part done but looking great so far.

On my flight home today I noticed the wing seemed to have duct tape on it? Purposely didn't mention to the family that the plane was glued together 😂

Great visit to Keighley today, saw the fantastic Colorsphere at the Beacon as part of @bradford2025.co.uk Also cakes from Three Little Birds bakery and discovered @misslollipop.bsky.social which is a wonderful independent bookshop where I picked up these gems.

Currently in the interval for this event. It's been fantastic so far, like a live audiobook. Superbly performed by @gavcross.bsky.social @bradfordlitfest.bsky.social

When I was a child I LOVED the Tubby Tin books, I drove my parents mad always asking that they read them to me. They're super rare but I got one and my kids fell in love with it. They've been asking for another so I managed to get this. So nice to share what I loved! #booksky

Had a great visit to @wonderlandbookshop.bsky.social this morning. This place is AMAZING and so great to see such a beautiful shop dedicated to children's books. We got some great recommendations and the kids came away with an armful of books.

Don't know why this popped into my head today, but I remember around 5years ago my youngest playing the classic game of Planet or Egg...

Just finished reading Careless People. It's very clearly written and so harrowing towards the end. Reinforced my intense dislike of anything Meta. @carelesspeople.bsky.social #booksky

Came home today to a surprise parcel, a friend had sent back some books I had lent to her years ago. Good to see these again and I'm relishing rereading A Clockwork Orange soon.

Just started reading That Librarian by @librarianjones.com Well written, shocking and urgent. Also seems baffling from here in the UK, I have never heard of book bans over here and hope it never happens. Much respect to Amanda for standing up against censorship despite all the threats.

I love an independent bookshop. Picked these up at Hold Fast Bookshop which is on a canal boat. Wonderful selection in beautiful surroundings. #booksky

Saw this on the bus today. Not really what you want from a bus driver, is it?

Story Graph also tells me that my most read author since 2017 is @nivenj1.bsky.social I think especially during lockdown when I discovered Kill Your Friends then sought out any Niven book I could get.

I've been hearing a lot about Story Graph on #booksky so thought I'd give it a go. It's great. I think Marcus Aurelius may have screwed up one of my charts though.

Just blasted through the first 75 pages of this by @junodawson.bsky.social in one sitting. Interesting and brilliantly written, can't wait to read the rest!
