We tried the new trail at the Norfolk Showground today. Hopefully over time it will become a little more interesting and nature filled but it was still an interesting walk - with a farm shop full of treats to reward yourself with afterwards!
If only the sun had broken through...

Well my library reservation list has grown hugely after watching @thelibrariansfilm.bsky.social - every book title mentioned that our library service has I’ve ordered!

As a huge space history fan please can I ask which Apollo book this was?

Stunned by the Storyville documentary, The librarians. So proud of the US school librarians opposing censorship despite the dangers.

Watching @thelibrariansfilm.bsky.social now and it really isn’t good for my blood pressure.
I’m horrified at the content (as I knew I would be) and really hope that this censorship doesn’t last and doesn’t spread to the UK.
But if it does you can’t bet I will be on any protests

It didn't brighten up here today at all but we had a lovely walk in the woods - saw gold crests, long tailed tits, chaffinches, wrens & robins & heard a great spotted woodpecker.
The most variety of fungi for years. Not at all confident on the fungi ID & definitely wouldn't try eating any of them!
A bright white mushroom with brown speckles on top, I think it is a type of aminita A small mushroom with a bright white cap and white stem. Google ID says "sickener" so I'm guessing not edible 😆 A dark brown top to a mushroom with a pinkish stem, Google ID suggests a 'penny bun'

Many thanks to @biggreenbooks.bsky.social and @lnr.bsky.social for my #BuyAStrangerABook post - now I’ve wrestled it off of Mr Norfolkbookworm I’ve really enjoyed @tomgauld.bsky.social Physics for Cats this afternoon

Attended an absolutely brilliant event about the #menopause this evening. @norfolklibrariesuk.bsky.social provides a friendly and welcoming space to share experiences and get help from an expert.
My main takeaway is just how much bad information and gaslighting takes place.
Food for thought

Going out out this evening so took a walk before the weather fully brightened up. The sun did come out half way round which was cheering and the antics of the squirrels were very amusing.
The one good habit we've kept from Covid times is making sure we have a walk every day.🐿️

It was perfect for us, we were on the beach until about 5pm and then picked up to go to the wedding location at 6.30!
It was just us, the mayor/celebrant and the travel rep as witness! Oh and some goats wandering past

Oooo I’m glad to see someone else like this - it really made me feel like I was in Greece and catches the emotional link I have to the country, although for me this is because Mr Norfolkbookworm and I sloped off their to get married in secret.

Huge thanks to whoever talked about or recommended Barbara Isn’t Dying by Alina Bronsky, tr. Tim Mohr from @europaeditions.bsky.social

I wasn’t sure for the longest time reading it but what a book, and one that needs reading carefully to catch all the hints & nuances.

Thanks for sharing this, I go past the church several times a week and had noticed that the for sale board had flipped to sold.
Pleased it will remain accessible as it is such an interesting building

I need your help!!! We’ve got some stunning merch for Legenda coming up, but can’t decide on the quotes. Which do you think? If you comment and share your choices - A or B - you could win a copy of the book, plus your very own bag and book mark!

I’ve not seen swarms of ladybirds like some are reporting but this one really stuck out when we were walking and looking for interesting things!

When I was a library event planner I used to really love planning for #BannedBookWeek - the book selection, reading and events were always so interesting.
This year I’ll be reading a banned book and watching @thelibrariansfilm.bsky.social but everyone should be able to read anything they want. 📚💙
The official publicity for Banned Books Week. The slogan reads Censorship is so 1984 with a thick red line through the word censorship. There are rainbow coloured stars under this and the words ‘Read for your rights’ and the dates of the campaign

After a grey and damp start to the day I was very pleased that it turned into a gloriously warm & sunny one.

Although people who wilfully ignore signs and bring dogs into the cemetery where there are clear signs on every gate saying they aren't allowed do seem to be trying to spoil my day!
