Watching Edge of Darkness for the first time, as recommended by many on here, and really enjoying it. As good as everyone said it was.

The bar owners of Seville aren't too fond of a comfy chair. Wooden stools a plenty.
Had to resort to buying a cushion and this was the best on offer.
I look quite the twat.

@blacktopkid.bsky.social Morning. Finally reading Sinners and loving it.
Reading in the middle of the night and got to the point about Helen and scleroderma (the reason I was awake!) and it stopped me in my tracks.
Most people haven't even heard of it so was nice to see in a way.
Thanks.

@dj-acid-reflux.bsky.social Had a dream last night that you'd written a book (digital only) but every time you tried to read it it disappeared cos of some weird code. No-one knew (including you) how to access it and it was bloody frustrating.

Internet shopping is great and all that but actually being able to go in somewhere and try things out would be really helpful occasionally.

It appears the answer to my malfunctioning tastebuds and a desperate need for a pint is fruit beer.
