Ha! Thanks for the first chuckle of the day.

The paperback of Absolution arrived here in the UK last month. I've just reached the bit with the barrels. Thanks for that sleepless night mate :)

Oh, ok.

There are several punctuation marks missing from this post.

Blimey, it's a wonder I haven't caught it then. When I visited Florida 30 years ago, as a naive Brit, I would move the more intact bodies out of the road so they wouldn't get even more squashed. There were so many of them it made me sad.

Sorry if this is in bad taste, but while watching this I had a deja vu moment from some show/advert/meme I saw years and years ago.... "Aaaaarmadillos, crunchy on the outside, soft in the middle".

I ordered your "A Natural History of Empty Lots" through my local bookshop, and I've not been so excited for something to arrive for ages.... roll on January 9th.

@chefreactions.bsky.social You need to see this.

Crikey, i started following you on the other place because of museum crimes, now I'm into realms of knowledge I'm baffled and slightly repelled by.... keep up the good work.

Got Mooves.

Nah, you're good.
