I’m going in. Wish me luck… @originstorypodcast.bsky.social @dorianlynskey.bsky.social @iandunt.bsky.social

Catching up with @ohgodwhatnow.bsky.social and was sorry to hear that @dorianlynskey.bsky.social 's standing down. (Still doing #TheBunker ?). However, won #BooksellersBingo for #WormhillBooks with DL and @iandunt.bsky.social 's @originstorypodcast.bsky.social as I have a box of #TheChineseInBritain

Listening to the latest @ohgodwhatnow.bsky.social while stock-checking #HayCinemaBookshop for #WormhillBooks and, would you believe it, @zoegrunewald.bsky.social just name-checked some books that I had done (so went back and pretended it happened at the same time for a short video…) #JonKrakauer

When you’ve been wading through paperwork/admin/accounting for the best part of 2 weeks, it’s great to do something practical. Another ‘book cubicle’ nearly finished at Wormhill Books.

It's been a few years but this little visitor (who got me out of bed from a lie-in) was successfully rescued just now. #Swift #ApusApus

Wonderful to see @edithmayhall.bsky.social @hayfestival.bsky.social this morning. I wonder if she remembers me (Wormhill Books) selling a number of academic journals to her during lockdown?! I hope they contributed to her work and particularly her new book ‘Epic of the Earth. #HayFestival #Iliad

Patiently waiting for The End of the (F*cking) World with beer in hand.. @tom-phillips.com @dorianlynskey.bsky.social . It’s been my home for 38years, so not a bad place to wave goodbye..

‘The Thirties ‘ by Malcolm Muggeridge used to be a fairly common book (original and reprint) but no longer. Must be due to @iandunt.bsky.social & Dorian Lynskey’s #OriginStory. Out of stock at #HayCinemaBookshop #HayOnWye See them (not MM..) @hayfestival.bsky.social this evening.

Just googling ‘is 284,000 amps a large electrical storm?’ Unsurprisingly, the answer in ‘yes’. I can’t tell you how much this was a shock (luckily metaphorical) but Wormhill Books is ‘hors de combat’ for a while. Only 3 goats didn’t make it. Humans ok. Insurance: *crosses fingers*…

Sneaky pint (between evening shelving at Hay Cinema Bookshop and waiting for Origin Pizza) at The Blue Boar #HayOnWye

Blue Boar, Hay. This has been my 2nd home since 1987… #HayOnWye
