Loved Beast by Lulu Allison. A novel about hopes & dreams,music & the soul.Eve calls up Demon & his rabbit familiar at the crossroads of a model village (it's always at a crossroads). One of my books of the year. As rabbit says 'A beautiful strange wonderful work'

Books read in July. Enjoyed them all. The Lowlife was a re-read and as great as I remember. James Curtis was a new writer to me, and loved it. Loved the Lynch and Rowland biogs too.
Enright/Murdoch/Gardam all great too

Had a lovely couple of days in Hay-On-Wye with friends. Was regretting my haul on a nightmare 8 hour 3 train journey home last night, lugging them back. But no regrets today sitting in the sun browsing through them all. I think I showed admirable restraint restricting myself to just 28 books.

Chuffed. Just managed to run 5km in under 30 minutes for the first time. Not bad for a 62 year old, who up until a year ago hadn't run since leaving school. Managed to lose 2 stone in weight in the last 5 months too through improved diet and exercise. I will get this diabetes into remission

Books read in June. A great month and lots I loved, but my absolute favourite was The Benefactors by Wendy Erskine @wednesdayerskin.bsky.social . Such a great read by such a terrific writer. It's sure to be one of my faves of 2025 at years end.
