Big new book week this week. Annoyingly I accidentally ordered one to go to my parents' house so it's being forwarded to me, but @naomialderman.bsky.social 's new book has arrived safe and sound. Really looking forward to getting stuck in to this one.

Idlewild were great as always last night. The obvious songs were the highlights but who needs anything fancy? You Held The World In Your Arms Tonight, American English, Ghost In The Arcade, Modern Way Of Letting Go, In Remote Part - but the new songs fit right in too.

Interesting charity shop haul, mostly centred around the Arthurian legends.

Lovely time at the launch of @tobyhadoke.bsky.social 's book on The Quatermass Experiment. As well as Toby, I got to meet @stephengallagher.co.uk, @eddierobson.bsky.social @0tralala.bsky.social (who were all very kind to chat with a complete stranger) and even got a hug from @ianzpotter.bsky.social!

I watched Exorcist 2: The Heretic the other night. It was a brave choice to follow a hilarious horror comedy with a straight horror sequel, but it's not the disaster of its reputation. Exorcist 3 remains the best of the series though.

My first ever concert was Gene at Hull Uni, a birthday present from my uncle. Never thought I'd see them play again. One of the most under-rated bands of the 90s, they had a run of singles that should have made them huge but Britpop's laddishness got in the way.

An unexpected bonus of buying from an independent bookshop today - got a signed sticker added to the copy of @agustinabazterrica.bsky.social's new novel The Unworthy at @raremags.bsky.social in Stockport. Get yourself down there if you're in that neck of the woods.
