Listening to The Unthanks beautiful new album, reading Ann Cleeves Vera’s latest adventure (spookily) set in October half term on Holy Island. My body may be on my boring old sofa waiting for the washing machine to finish but my mind is in the North East coast. Reading rocks!

I have been sitting very still all day under a blanket so i feel up to going to my book club christmas party tonight. I'll probably last until 9:30....a far cry from Christmas 2019 when I put my back out dancing to footloose.

Twitter feels like a hard place to be at the moment. The wrong voices seem so loud. So much heat. So little light. Thank goodness for Book Twitter. Two recommendations today from Just a care home girl & @elinlowri set aside for me by the brilliant David's Bookshop by return of email 💚

A lovely gift from the good people at @TPCHealth Andrew McDowell. Grateful for this and the work we get to do together. Looking forward to reading it and another year of supporting primary care colleagues. ❤️

Bournville is the book I needed to read as I continue to attempt to make sense of these past three years. Grateful to Jonathan Coe for the skill and generosity to turn such recent and painful experiences into a story for us to share as we attempt to develop our own narratives.

I heard a noise coming from the kitchen. I hoped that it wasn't one of those things that I wouldn't be able to solve myself: a leaking tap, a broken fridge. It was a hot cross bun saying, Eat me. I was able to deal with that myself.
