I'm off to guest at Cymera in Edinburgh early tomorrow morning. One of the things I'm taking part in while there is a live edition of Inside the Rookery. Really looking forward to it!

Finally felt well enough to leave the house, so we headed down to Seaham and Glass Beach. Some nice pieces of sea glass with rusted metal inclusions, obviously from safety glass, plus a couple of nice hag stones.

My lovely current fox mug has a small chip in, so it’s retiring to my office. I have replaced it with a mug from @benaaronovitch.bsky.social’s official store (link in next post) /1
