BRIGHT PHOEBUS IN THE CHAT
That is a cracking, cracking record. It's weirdly close to kids TV folk soundtrack while also being howlingly sad. Red Wine and Promises, The Scarecrow... I adore it

Can't seem to get backing for my film project "Noah: The Early Years". They all say the narrative lacks an ark.

I note from the 2026 @dauntbookspub.bsky.social catalogue that there will be a new novel from Deb Olin Unferth in July.

As previously, I was moaning about my list of everything I read between 1994 and 2020.. for tedious and obvious reasons my list kind of died at that point, let's not go over it! ANYWAY I said "The problem with starting again is, my first book in '94 was To the Lighthouse*.

One of my favourite kind of gate post finials - an arrowhead cap carefully half-painted for the house on one side only. Is this a very British approach? Slightly passive-aggressive vibes, but I always admire the crisp neatness of such a division.

Customer: "Botticelli really does good hair, doesn't he"
It's clearly going to be one of those days

He's the hairy-handed gent who ran amok in Kent
Lately, he's been overheard in Mayfair
You better stay away from him
He'll rip your lungs out, Jim
Huh, I'd like to meet his tailor
Don't know if you'd be interested in a bit of work on Saturday 1st July, they're booking people to roam around in wild animal costumes uptown.

I have a rule that if I mention Leonard and Hungry Paul to someone that hasn’t read it, I buy it for them. Copy #18 now winging its way from @kirkdalebooks.bsky.social to Alice in Muswell Hill after a nice book chat on Saturday night 💛
