This amused me.
I enjoy playing Eric Satie, especially his Gnossienne suite, which has no time beats at all.

Hands up if you're lucky enough to live on #Malta then you can freely read VENGEANCE ISLAND on your library Libby App! The book combines the horrific mass abduction of Gozo’s population in 1551 with a modern couple’s inheritance.

Hiking in the rain again but we are well prepared with water proofs and broken brollies. The dash through the sudden deluge makes cafe stops all the more welcome. #isleofman

In 1551 pirates abducted everybody on the island of Gozo. Most were sold as slaves in #Libya and Constantinople. There's only one novel focusing on this tragedy yet escape and revenge: Vengeance Island.

In 1963 someone stole my dad's black, Rayleigh bicycle from #Cheltenham. This is a photo of me with the bike some years earlier. It upset dad so much that even though he's passed on, every time I return to the town I still keep an eye out for that bike.
