Christmas just isn't Christmas without a hand-delivered volume from Yorkshire's finest purveyor of poetry.
If you're in Sheffield, we can deliver by hand, on foot, to any address in the city encircled by the blue line (and we're happy to gift-wrap books, if you like, at no extra cost). This might be useful for any last-minute Christmas orders (last day to order via this method is Tuesday 23 Dec).

Health & care staff are no longer allowed a Covid booster, but they're still expected to look after COVID+ patients.
NHS/govt is reneging on its duty of care. Staff will become unwell, and patients too will suffer.

At this point I'm leaning towards the conclusion that politicians must now perceive some kind of electoral advantage in pretending to be thick as pigshit, because surely they can't genuinely be *this* thick as pigshit, *surely*

Managed to avoid both the UK budget and the Champions League by getting totally engrossed in one very small detail of a new @pinkopaque.co.uk song I'm making. Clearly I should sample Jesus Jones tracks more often.

I have this, I love it. A slender, beautiful volume holding a stunning poetic journey. I keep going back and back to it. Local #Sheffield poet @petegreensolo.com whose writing flows with truth (and deserves to be known everywhere). Wonderful.

Did you call any place home?
If not, what drew you on:
the seasons’ slow turning
or that faint itch of the horizon?
