I haven’t been to see an exhibition for years because of #mecfs + being housebound but if I could i would go to this wonderful exhibition on slugs by @abipalmer.bsky.social
which features slug discos, slug votives + a wall where you can smear clay messages

Thanks to @rachelburch.bsky.social for another beautiful calendar featuring her landscape photos of #Dartmoor. I think they have sold out (She raised £300 for the local food bank from them🙏👍👍) but her fab cards, prints, bookmarks and books can be bought on Etsy www.etsy.com/uk/shop/Theg...

Trying for some sun this week seems like inevitably dodging the unseasonal and fickle god of rain clouds. Still, enjoying reading The Bear and the Nightingale. What are you reading this week? #booksky

Hild from The Last Kingdom (wise, with integrity and good advice, plus a kick ass woman); Tyrion from Games of Thrones (entertaining, clever, empathetic); Ed from Northern Exposure (good hearted, always relating situations to films); Maggie from Six Feet Under (a sweetheart but candid too)

Today is #maythefourthbewithyou and a #LoveElsewhen day when @elsewhen.press authors and readers are celebrating SFF books by this indie publisher. They were fantastic to deal with. I am very happy with my recent book by them which looks fantastic- as lots of readers have said

I wanted to say that one of my favourite short story collections of all time is The Weather in Kansas by @shoebillmansion.bsky.social I discovered it via Twitter - such an inventive, rich and absorbing collection I return to. Magical realism with a flickering of the uncanny.
