www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/...

In it, @juliansimpson.bsky.social has had to invent the “fifth wall,” having finally left the fourth one in rubble.

Clara Page and the Themis gang are back - and family ties are a stronger theme than ever.

The new Bunny book Fortunate Son is out now and we’ve received our 1st review - this from Diller the dog:
“I didn’t have nuts but now I do because this book is the dog’s bollocks - which is apparently a good thing. Tbh, seems like a weird compliment. I’m only here as I was promised chicken.”

I’m at the Edge of the World bookshop in Penzance tonight talking about the book. If it was 2008 I’d probably be working out if I could varnish these clippings onto a second hand biker jacket in time for the event.
