Trying to justify my library by re-reading an old favourite by @brookmyre.bsky.social
Sadly not a lot’s changed in the last 18 years or so -debates on religion and sexual politics, wars based on dodgy WMD intel.
Still sharp funny and relevant!

Soundtrack to “That Summer!”
An excellent Punk/New Wave
album found in an Inverness charity shop. Heavy lean towards Stiff Records and Pub Rock roots.
The thought of Ray Winstone as the romantic lead in a summer movie is hilarious

On the subject of capybaras this strange hybrid of a toy will really mess up some biology lessons. Were you a consultant?

Arrived in yesterday’s post the latest installment in my current favourite book series by @benaaronovitch.bsky.social
I seem to have entered into a coincidental pattern of reading books which feature lighthouses I have worked at -at least on the cover in this case.

The delivery of the opening track always reminds me of the first listen-were the stones going to be influenced by punk? Never mind business as usual.
