I read the book of the film. Lots of fascinating science (mainly beyond me), this is an optimistic, humane account of solving a world problem and meeting an extra-terrestrial. Hate to think how Musk’s spacepersons would react to the latter but I think I know. #booksky #sciencefiction

A novel that propels the reader right into the thoughts and feelings of someone struggling with grief and the stifling morality and rigidity of the 1930s. Violet makes a life firstly by embroidery (yes, embroidery) and then by, along with two friends, breaking entirely with convention. #booksky

A compelling, wry tale of a town riddled with class and gender divisions. Dorothea and Will, Mary and Fred cross the divides to have good marriages. Villains: all clerics minus one, all doctors minus one, a banker, a manufacturer and an aristocrat. Burnham’s favourite novel. #BookSky #Burnham

Having found the 2002 romcom film version unwatchable, this spirited, sharp even cynical production was a real treat. #theatre #OscarWilde #Acting

A JCB PotHole Pro languishes unused in a Lincoln street. Private Eye reports JCB gave £200,000 to Reform last year. Reform controlled Lincolnshire County Council took on a JCB Pothole Pro and Council Leader Sean Matthew’s says ‘it’s here to stay’ and ‘there’s no political influence’. #Reform

Until you MPs upgrade the voting system it is incumbent on all of us who want a political outcome rather than to signal tribal loyalty to vote tactically. Every reform councillor is a future canvasser and campaigner against the good society we claim to believe in. Stopreformuk.vote

The BBC and ITV are busy editing Labour’s latest election broadcast. Apparently, Reform UK’s own words are a bit too sharp for a Friday night audience. They’ll give Farage a seat at the table every single week, but showing a montage of his party’s actual rhetoric is omitted. youtu.be/RtaON7FxkGY

A very ingenious production of ‘The Graduate’ - a romcom with a serious side - featuring some bold acting. Interesting to view the 1960s relationships between Benjamin/Mrs Robinson and Benjamin/Elaine from the perspective of 2026. #theatre #drama #film

Reform UK’s candidate in the Sleaford Westholme, North Kesteven by-election Sandy Buchanan describes himself as a humble semi-retired electrical engineer. Sounds less dodgy than a MLM marketer and life coach, doesn’t it?

Pithy and often indiscreet diary entries (complete with itemized spending lists) reveal the optimism of 1949 USA. Judy has introductions to the great and good but also chats to everyday people; sees New Deal projects reaching completion; gets a racist thrown off the bus. #BookSky #TravelWriting

A perceptive study of how racism distorts character. In the aftermath of a passionate affair between repressed Isabel and deceitful Eva, the truth about who owns the house near Zwolle, Netherlands is revealed. The lovers are re-united but the taint of racism remains. #booksky #whattoread

A poignant wartime love story and a beautifully written evocation of the French countryside in summer. It’s also about resistance and collaboration and all points in-between as well as the sheer nastiness of fascism and fascists. Written in 1944 but so relevant 81 years later. #booksky #bookreview

A postcard from the USA. In this house in Newport (now Fountain City), Indiana, Quakers, Levi and Catherine Coffin, provided a sanctuary for enslaved people on their journey to freedom. The house has secret doors and hidden rooms.

An exploration of how the memory of a lost loved one persists. Jan, a Dutch engineer, travels to help drain the English Fens. He falls in love with Eliza, a Fenwoman, but heartbroken leaves for New Amsterdam. Falsely(?) convicted, Eliza is transported to Virginia. A compelling novel. #books #booksky

Amidst the sectarian violence of 1970s Northern Ireland, Cushla tries so hard to do the right thing as a daughter, sister and schoolteacher. Michael’s exploitative love affair with her ends in tragedy and unhappiness. A deeply engaging, poignant novel. #booksky #whattoread #bookreview

Interesting by-election result in Park ward, Lincoln. Lib Dems taking the seat from Labour. Unenthusiastic Labour and Conservative voters switching to Lib Dems? Reform beats Conservatives but Reform + Conservatives still losing in an area of mixed demography.
