A 450-yo oak is felled without permission by a Toby Carvery (don’t eat there), who falsely claimed it was "dead".
A tree alive when The Gunpowder Plot was hatched, which supports a web of 2000+ species, is in pieces.
Legal protection for heritage trees needed.

Good morning to @tommckinney.bsky.social and whatever birds just twittered away on Radio 3 Breakfast. Looks like we’re keeping Bach before 7 and adding birdsong. Maybe Tom can combine the two? Birds singing Bach before 7?

Today I have a cunning plan to get to my favourite library early and get THE BEST DESK. It is adjustable and has a view out of the window and has seen me through many tough writing days.

When you’re reading a scholarly work and wondering if the author was playing the game of “how many obscure and unrelated words can I insert into my argument?”
“Melismatic”? Really??

I am so behind the reading times that I have only just read the kaleidoscopic, kleitic After Sappho from Norwich press @galleybeggars.bsky.social longlisted for the Booker Prize 2022.
My copy was not exactly stolen - more liberated from a place where I felt it was not being appreciated.*

The builders are wheeling wheelbarrows of rubble past my desk. Both the front and back doors of the house are open. They have advised me to give up trying to make notes on literary criticism for a while.

This v interesting 1787 edition of Robert Burns’s poems has been brutally washed in solvent, probably by a lateC19 collector. This results in super clean pages but also a kind of cancelled, ghost marginalia that has been almost washed away. It’s like the book has repressed memories of a former life

A friend of mine proudly posted that he read 50 Non-work books in 2024. The thing that amazed me was that none of them seemed to be the sort of embarrassing romantasy / chick-lit / mysteries set in the 1930s that I read.
