Absolute pleasure to go to The Last Picture House in Davenport, Iowa. Such a great cinema, set up by film-makers Scott Beck and Bryan Woods. Signed well wishes from Sam Raimi and props from Heretic - such a treat. Great showings too.

I picked up Joe Abercrombie’s new book, The Devils, at a Hog Festival in Illinois. Random? Perhaps. But the comb’s worked well for me so far.

I strongly feel there should be a place for this in the Olympics.

I’m searching for the Anglo-Saxon to describe the Newberry Library in Chicago, where I was able to pick up @hanavideen.bsky.social ‘s The Word Hord

Perhaps the swyðost library I’ve been to outside London

I visited Chicago’s @PoetryFound today. Difficult to imagine a more beautifully executed reading space.

The grand dome at the Chicago cultural centre is something to behold.

The ghoulishly beautiful Picture of Dorian Grey by Ivan Albright.

Wandering @artinstitutechi.bsky.social ’s incredible collection, this dark gem caught my eye. Executed for the 1945 movie adaptation of Oscar Wilde’s 1891 novel. The painting has aged better than its subject.

I made some pretty special #Eurovision cookies. I’ve been working on them for 3 and a half hours. Can you spot the flags?

A pleasure to attend the @fleetstquarter.bsky.social #festivalofwords, getting to nose around Stationers’ Hall was a real treat (just tucked away from Fleet Street), they’ve scheduled some great talks across the week with still some left to catch today.

The Beltane Fire Festival, Edinburgh. A fire earth-fire union overlooking the city. #Beltane

My first Beltane Fire Festival on Edinburgh’s Calton Hill. A reimagining of ancient Celtic rituals to celebrate the summer’s start with processions, fires, and a fertility and earth-fire union. #Beltane

Gustavo has been kindly helping me with the edits today. It’s more of a tacit support, admittedly, but welcome all the same. #gustavosharpe #WritingCommunity #catinspiration

I was confused by the strange noises emanating from the wardrobe while I tried to write. When I opened it…Gustavo #WritingCommunity #catinspiration #writingbuddy

Gustavo has been providing key writing support this week - true his interests often stray at meal times - but there’s no breaking our routine.

It was a real pleasure to see the work being done by Ailsa Bathgate @gill-lewis.bsky.social Elizabeth Kellingley and @booksonthehill.bsky.social to promote dyslexia friendly books. Such a great initiative. I will definitely help to spread the word.

Day 2 at the London Book Fair 2025. Feels like I need two or three versions of myself to get around everything.

Excellent panel discussion from Orna Ross, Ethan Ellenberg, Caroline Hardman, and Lindsay Jones. If I wasn’t already, I’m now fully clued up on Literary Agents.
