That feeling when your new book has just come out but then you have to change your email signature & all the banners on your socials & website from pre-order to OUT NOW and you're still a bit fragile from all the celebrations🎉 #HouseholdLore #Booksky #BookologyThursday #FolkloreThursday #WritersLife
OUT NOW! Household Lore is available in Hardback, eBook and Audiobook format! There is a tablet and a mobile showing the cover of Household Lore and a copy of the hardback.

when I worked at the Telegraph, approx one thousand years ago, I walked into the newsroom one day wearing a trenchcoat and a fedora, feeling v cool and chic, and my nickname in the newsroom instantly became "Vince Cable"

As someone who owns both a trench coat and a fedora I often think, looking at Delon's effortless beautiful cool, how sad it was that Inspector Gadget came along 20 years later and utterly kyboshed this look for ever more

I don’t doubt how influential Le Samouri has been, or how cool and beautiful Delon is onscreen, but everyone in Paris is searching for him, he’s stealing cars to remain unnoticed but at NO POINT does he think about removing his trademark hat.

Stick a balaclava on, Delon. Sorted.

One thing I miss about being a teacher, specially an elementary PE coach was that it was always tradition for the coach to be the mascot. We had a huge lion one and admin told me "Im sorry but you gotta be the lion as a coach". I was like "Aww mann" but deep inside I was like "YESSSS!!!!"

Just a few bits and pieces I'm getting together for tomorrow's talk about household folklore at the Chichester Centre for Fairy Tales, Fantasy and Speculative Fiction at 6pm (4 Dec). Come for the folklore, stay for the quiz! 🐁 🐀🏡 #WyrdWednesday #Folklore #HouseholdLore @chiunipress.bsky.social
A collection of stuff for my folklore talk at Chichester Centre for Fairy Tales, Fantasy and Speculative Fiction on Thursday 4 December at 6pm. Left going clockwise - a box of pencils, a pot of thyme, a pot of parsley, an onion, a potato, two silver pieces of cutlery and some plastic knives on a chopping board.

Abbondanza! This large mosaic emblema uses a limited palette of stone tesserae to depict baskets of fish and fruit, symbols of abundance from the sea and land. It probably once decorated the floor of a Roman villa's triclinium (dining room). 🏺

1st-2nd c. CE, Carthage. #BritishMuseum
📸 me
Large rectangular section of a mosaic floor. It depicts a round wicker basket at the bottom, spilling out a variety of fish, eels, and crustaceans. At the top, a tube-like wicker basket is on its side, with an intricate diamond pattern around the rim - it holds masses of fruit, probably figs, as fig leaves stick out at the bottom). The background is made of white tesserae, and the scene is contained within a thick black border.

Opportunities to transform nature don’t get much bigger than this!

We have the opportunity to conserve 340 acres (138 hectares) of biodiverse countryside surrounding the Cerne Abbas Giant, Dorset.

Amazon, please stop asking me if books I bought month ago met my expectations. I still have unread books I bought in 2012. Be real.

“I'm so glad I live in a world where there are Octobers.”
-Canadian writer Lucy Maud Montgomery, born on this day in 1874.
#WriterSky #BookSky #History #BOTD
Her best known book – Anne of Green Gables – was also her first published work. In total, Montgomery published 20 novels as well as 530 short stories, 500 poems, and 30 essays. Despite being raised in the strictly traditional home of her grandparents, Montgomery was able to submit her work to publications –and receive payments– without anyone in her family knowing. All because she had become the assistant postmistress of Prince Edward Island, which was also the setting of Anne of Green Gables and her stories of Avonlea. An undated photo portrait of Lucy Maud Montgomery. Her hair is quite done up, with a flower corsage. I'm reading into this picture, but there is a confidence in her expression that seems quite unique - outside of royal circles. Image source: Anne of Green Gables (website)
