Just supported Alice R Fraser 's new book about #D'AnceyLaGuarde as I know someone who will bloody love it. (That person is not me but I'll like it too). If you like comedy and romance novels, I suggest you check it out on @unbounders

Caught up with #QueensThatChangedTheWorld on Channel 4 News and so wonderful to hear the voices of so many great historians, especially as they aren't the famous names we see all the time on TV. Not choosing favourites but delighted that the wonderful Dr Estelle Paranque is on screen.

If you are at Edinburgh Festival Fringe I heartily recommend Alice R Fraser 's funny and thoughtful show. Went last night and still chuckling at some of the jokes.

I have seen @paulsinha 's shows on and off for over 15 years of Edinburgh Festival Fringe , always enjoyed them and last night's was no exception. Still funny, surprising and with some excellently written jokes even for those of us who've never seen the chase.

Hadn't seen James Nokise live before but certainly wasn't disappointed. A friendly, likeable presence who keeps the jokes coming even when parts of the story he's telling get dark. A funny show, well worth an hour of your time if you're Edinburgh Festival Fringe

But @jlukeroberts was there tonight, both halves. I'm sure Shelf , a Victorian ghost, annoying couple, a pilot, a 1960s girlfriend and Terry Wogan will attest to that.

I hate every ape I see, from Chimpan-A to Chimpan-Z

this has become a #christmas #playlist staple for me. i have even convinced my family. give it a go Hurts open.spotify.com/track/7L673Cv2…

"All of the bells ringing out for Christmas, but I'm not supposed to feel this way, all that I want this year for Christmas, is New Years Day"

Just back from #TheEdit with Laura Davis & James Nokise The Stand. Wonderful first night: crowd up for it, acts able to enjoy themselves & try new stuff. Discovered new acts & able to introduce friends to the wonderful Josie Long & Eleanor Morton ($8) heartily recommend!

lost my job as a bridge troll because my riddles were “weirdly personal” and “why are your ankles like that?” isn’t a riddle

I can’t believe I’m actually writing this. The North Atlantic sea surface temperature has been at record warm levels for an entire year now, setting daily record highs every day for 365 consecutive days and counting. Yes, you read that right.

The wonderful #BeFunnyOrDie by @gralefrit arrived yesterday. Not often that a book can be interesting and laugh out loud funny (despite being on my own). Most recently sniggered at the phrase "Ofsted Dalek". Recommend!

You can question if it met its aims as a policy but I love the baby box regardless. If you're worried about whether you have the stuff you need - or how to look after a baby - it makes a huge difference to get all the essentials in one delivery.

give a man a joke, he'll laugh for a day teach a man how to write a joke, he'll never laugh again

Short film by BBC Scotland about my ongoing attempts to redefine the meaning of Dundee United in Nigeria. We can do it, even if it means winning over one Nigerian at a time bbc.co.uk/sport/av/footb…

I can't even speak at the moment. Frans de Waal's death is a profound loss in the world of animal-behavior science. My sincere condolences to his family and closest friends. improbable.com/2024/03/16/sad… #primates #anthropology #ethology #animalbehavior #chimpanzees

I can't tell you how much fun I had taking Ope to his first ever Scottish football game - honestly just a joy, they could have made a feature length film of us laughing at each other. Here's the link if you want the video (it's about 5mins) bbc.co.uk/sport/av/footb…

Both of my books (and my next) have been written in fits and starts. Can't speak for everyone, but if you are beating yourself up about not having a good writing routine, this thread may reassure you.
