Ah, thank you so much to @penguinrandomhouse.bsky.social @jonathancape.bsky.social for this copy of Jeanette Winterson’s One Aladdin Two Lamps. I expect this to be great. (See what I did there?)

I had to replace my 35 year old Magimix with this beauty. There’s a chance the thirty year guarantee will outlive me.

Jeez. Does this not scream “Whites Only” and “No Coloureds”?
Local green grocer I will no longer be visiting. They posted a video of this with the national anthem playing. 🙄

I’ve just finished Letters from the Upside by Katya Balen, to be published next month. She’s a wonderful, thoughtful writer. Review to follow. @bloomsburybooksuk.bsky.social

Only 2% of the UK population donate blood. Here’s my husband donating. Unfortunately I can’t but please, if you can, go give some blood.

Last week I finished The Heart’s Invisible Furies - John Boyne. I didn’t like The Boy in the Striped Pyjamas (far too problematic) but this one has many recommendations so I picked it up. An easy, enjoyable read, though maybe too frivolous in places.
