I am and have been many things.
When you see these books together, you get a pretty good sense of me as a reader and, frankly, as a person.

It’s not going to be easy reading but I expect it to be gripping.

Lee Murray reads from her essay "Fox Girl: A Speculative Journey" - which can be found in the July collection of essays at www.speculativeinsight.com/buy-collections . Get the ebook or a paper copy - or subscribe to the journal and get the ebook included! (And the December one too!)

Today I went to the VCHA ceremony expecting to receive a certificate for being on the shortlist for the Oral History category, and then applaud the winner of the category along with all the other winners. And then it was announced that the winner of the Oral History category was me...

Watched GBBO with my mum. I am not stupid enough to think I could do most of what they do. But they literally had a plaiting demo for the wreath bread and most got it wrong. So I wanted to try it out… of course it wasn’t there time pressure, but still.

Something else I am is on the board of the Living Peace Museum. I helped create the WW1 anti-conscription heritage walk for Melbourne (www.livingpeacemuseum.org.au/s/alpm/page/...). We're launching it in two weeks! In person and via Zoom!

Clearly @catsparx.bsky.social should visit Aberdeen - there’s a lot of monumental street art.

Pretty happy to be reading a review copy of this.

Although she states that most people are related to either Khufu or the workers who built the Giza pyramid, and I can’t find anything to substantiate that.
(50% British men related to Tutankhamen, though, yes)
