Folks, if you get the chance, do go and watch I swear. It’s about Scottish #TouretteSyndrome campaigner John Davidson.
This film is so full of heart and the cast are incredible. I cried pretty much the whole way through but laughed a lot too. My heart feels bigger for seeing it 💙

Haven’t been to the theatre in an age and man was this an incredible play to break the drought. Intelligent, hilarious, steamy, compelling. And two leads who were breathtaking.
Bravo to everyone involved with #BornWithTeeth 👏🏽💐👏🏽💐👏🏽

Not managed to read a physical book since Dad died but torn through several audiobooks.
Decided to put Emperor of Gladness down & try another time.
Started All the Colours of the Dark. Chapters are short so hoping to see it through.
What are you reading friends? ☺️

In grim times I love to rewatch beloved stories for comfort and I’ve rewatched 2007 #Persuasion so many times already this year! The Netflix adaptation with Dakota was utterly shocking. And the Ciaran Hindes one is fine but we need something new so please someone make a new and worthy Persuasion 🙏🏽

Can someone tell me if I'm meant to root for Nan in #TheBuccaneers because I've just finished S2 and she strikes me as selfish.
And I will never forgive the writers for Dicky - y'know you can have a love without constant drama, you don't have to ruin the only non toxic relationship in the show 😭

Spent the day pottering around Falkland peepin’ like Jamie’s ghost and yearning for blue vases.
I guess you can take the fangirl out of the OL fandom, but you can’t take OL out of the fangirl - to paraphrase it badly 😅

My Dad passed away yesterday.
I want to honour him by telling people about him. Proud of his service as a British officer in the 7th Gurkha Rifles, he was a snappy dresser who loved a few pints at the pub with friends. And when he smiled he lit up the room with a glint in his eye.
We love you Dad 💜

I’m really struggling to read at the moment. Eye to brain pathway too full perhaps? Thankfully audiobooks exist! Just started The Rabbit Hutch. So far so good.

Sharing some floral dopamine from my garden because I’m struggling right now.
If you’re having a rough time I hope these bring you a small ray of light xx

Wait what?? Knowing what you do and how much you read I’m shocked! But there’s no time like the present to start Austen appreciation x

I'm firmly in my grumpy old woman era. Jane Austen remakes that've been remade to death upset me (AHEM give us a DECENT Persuasion & not that Dakota travesty).
And Emma Thompson's Sense & Sensibility was perfection (the honking crying? 😭)
But I WILL be seated for Caitriona & Daisy supremacy 👏🏽👸🏽

@emreadsthebooks.bsky.social I was in the chazza shops and look! I’ve been dithering over it for a while but had to get it after your glowing review. Best bit, it was 50p! Billy bargain 😊

It was a heavy couple of weeks rushing around the dusty streets of Kathmandu to spend as much time as possible with my sick Dad. Naively thought I’d finish The Emperor of Gladness but my brain has been too full. What I’ve read so far has been compelling but I feel heartbreak is imminent 💔

I finished The Favourites on audiobook while in Nepal. It’s supposedly inspired by Wuthering Heights but set in the figure skating world. I needed something light & easy to follow and this did the trick.
Reckon you’d love it if you like Taylor Jenkins Reid.
Anyone else read it?
