Lovely page from a kids' book from 1952 (title unknown, I'm afraid). 'How to sleep though the Winter (Hibernate)'. Double points for the most annoyed/delighted lynx ever.

Sad that I missed @jonnelledge.bsky.social's event at the Falmouth Book Festival, but I bought a signed copy of A History of the World in 47 Borders and it's the most readable non-fiction thing I've read in years, big recommend.

Bought the trade paperback of Jonathan Hickman 'Secret Wars' on a whim and because I had some Waterstones points, with no real expectations and HOLY BLIMEY. Knew nothing about it going in, I only really knew the Ultimate Marvel stuff, which was probably best because it's absolutely epic.

I love our town fair day, but there's always one violent idiot who has to ruin it for everyone, trundling around making threats.
