I’ve been weirdly productive the past few days. The excitement of a new thing I guess. The Lost Lancastrian podcast is changing into The Lost Book Nook and will be coming out soon… a few more bits to get sorted and hopefully a little onboarding

Rain during my lunch break is kinda pleasant against the window, not so much when I have to walk outside. To add insult to injury, I forgot to pack a book #booksky

Got a book to finish but looking forward to getting stuck into the next few in my TBR, I usually have something fiction, a nonfiction and a poetry collection concurrently. How about you?

Today was a little adventure up to South Queensferry to visit Dune Bakery again, this time before they sold out of everything. A little under two hours of bus journeys to get there but definitely worth it #edinburghlife
