Love visiting Chesil Beach and reading books. In fact, I’ve probably got my head in a book while you’re reading this.

⬆️And yes, this is my Backlisted bookshelf. ⬆️
Beautiful.

I try to save it for closer to Christmas, but it is an essential film in the festive season

It was! She’s a demon when it comes to recommendations 😂

I’ve just started A History of England in 25 poems today for Catherine’s Time Travel Advent on Instagram!

I feel like it’s probably a pause, and we’ll be back with season two eventually!

Well I’ll add my voice to this too then. Maybe Ludo and the Star Horse could get the full Backlisted treatment.

Happy birthday Backlisted. You’ve changed and improved my life. I can’t thank you enough xxx

Happy birthday Andrew! x

@iammilliam.bsky.social I rarely have the confidence to recommend individually but I think (and hope) you’d enjoy this one.

his writing career with a novel, Sean is dour, grumpy and has no tolerance left for the lazy questions of customers. He’s in debt and sees his former peers moving on and up in the world. Don’t come to this book for plot, but for the humour in the repetitive annoyance and mundanity of daily life

Haha!

Thank you! 🙏

Thanks Gordon x

Thanks. I had to come up with my own pattern and make it up as I went along to try and match the book cover, which is why it’s so big!
November 24, 2025 at 4:36 PM
Thank you! 🙏 I’m not sure what I’ll do with a huge crochet ice cream afterwards though 🤣🤣🤣
November 24, 2025 at 4:32 PM
Yes! At least I know it’s recognisable now 😂. Hope @regretteruane.bsky.social won’t mind my amateur approach to replicate her beautiful book cover.

(I’ll post the answer later if no-one gets it!)

What great piece. You mention some of my all time favourite films and actors and you’re spot on about what makes him such a great yet under appreciated actor. Thanks for sharing.

I was outraged he wasn’t nominated for an Oscar too. His best performance I’ve ever seen, and like Michael Caine in Muppet Christmas Carol, overlooked for being in a children’s comedy film.

I don’t think I’ve ever had a more exciting morning after waking up before 6am on a Saturday.
