A brilliant afternoon watching #uncanny with Charlie McNulty today. A fantastic show and really great to meet Danny Robins 𝐄𝐯𝐞𝐥𝐲𝐧 𝐇𝐨𝐥𝐥𝐨𝐰 and ciaranokeeffe afterwards. #teambeliever

Five miles today, and a steep climb from Irwell Vale Halt to the top of Musbury Hill.

Traditional Christmas Eve T-Bone steaks.

2023 round up. Only 22 books read this year, but quite a few from #beatthebacklog Two not pictured, and I didn't think it right to include all the books I read on social work law during the summer.

A bit of Tuesday evening mindfulness, finishing off my latest #lego build. The building techniques are innovative, so much attention to detail and it looks truly stunning. One of my all-time favourite sets, so a big thank you to Bricked1980 for thinking the whole thing up.

Three new books as a little Easter treat. #ballstothebacklog

6.5 miles around the moors above Todmorden today. A tough climb, forever under the watchful gaze of Stoodley Pike.

Another rare walk this year, but lucky with the sunshine. Seven and a half miles, taking in three reservoirs and dodging golf balls on the way back.

Perfect reading for Hallowe'en. Danny Robins

My 2024 round-up. Each one was brilliant. #BookTwitter

An odd recommendation from #booktwitter but I'm glad I picked this one up today. Haunting, unsettling, and like nothing I've ever read before. I finished it in one sitting.

Isn't it brilliant when people write in books? I bought this copy of Unpopular Opinions by Dorothy L Sayers online, and when I opened it I found this lovely message. Bill gave this book to his Mum in 1946. Now it sits on my bookshelf in 2025. #BookTwitter

Well-played, editor of A Study In Scarlet, for this little gem in the explanatory notes. 👏 @OWC_Oxford

Managed to bag a good haul of Doctor Who Magazine today at #BuryComicCon

A very niche find today, but they were proudly displayed in the window of a charity shop. Vworp Vworp

First hot chocolate of the season. Different mug this year, and posh chocolates to go with it.

Had a great afternoon watching Uncanny: Fear of the Dark at the Liverpool Playhouse with Charlie McNulty yesterday. Some very interesting cases and lots of jump scares. Thank you Danny Robins ciaranokeeffe and 𝐄𝐯𝐞𝐥𝐲𝐧 𝐇𝐨𝐥𝐥𝐨𝐰 - you were all brilliant. 👻

Et Dieu crea la femme. RIP Brigitte.

My 2025 round up. 22 books (plus one on my Kindle) and a cheeky photo bomb. All of them brilliant. #booktwitter #booktwt #beatthebacklog
