Check out the new book on 'William Hayley' edited by Lisa Gee and Mark Crosby. Such an interesting and important book!

And not only because @jasonpaulwhittaker.bsky.social and I have a joint chapter on the role of Blake's biographers!

First week with set reading so I'm breaking into the "To Read' pile. Was recommended Cormac McCarthy's 'Blood Meridian' a few weeks ago so starting with that!

Bookpost! After years of searching, I managed to grab this at an amazing bargain price! Such an important book when studying 'The Four Zoas'

'The Four Zoas' by William Blake A Photographic Facsimile of the Manuscript with Commentary on the Illuminations' by Tramontano Magno and Erdman!

'The Box of Delights' is my traditional Christmas watch! But the new remastered Blu-ray with special features for the 40th anniversary! 😊

Before this week I had never seen #beetlejuice! Huge thanks to Jason for recommending that I watch this! By far my favourite Tim Burton film and in my top favourite films too!

After 2 separate bookshops were unable to find their copies of this book (staff member helping me at each shop had themself put it on the shelf), 1 shop ordering me a copy that didn't arrive (reason unknown), I finally gave in and ordered it online.

So want to read but worried I'm cursed! 😬

Got to love the secondhand book selection at Heffers where I managed to get seven (yes seven!) William Blake books for just over £80!!! What a spectacular end to my Cambridge adventure!

Found this little fellow in my fruit packet so I gave them the last raspberry. (They deserved it for the 2 days they had obviously spent in the fridge.)

In the ongoing saga of train signage we have moved on from teabags in toilets, to toasters on trains!

Who has been making toast in the carriages?!?!? 😂

Nothing so relaxing as sitting in a quiet garden with an amazingly good book!

Found that someone had made a home in the holly bush. Hello there, little blackbird!! (I'll leave you to your nesting.)

Had the sudden realisation that my Viva will be soon, so here I am in the quiet of the garden at evening, attempting to re-read my thesis. 🤣

Did I buy this beer simply because it has Frankenstein's monster on the tin? Of course, I did!

Trains delayed and cancelled today, meaning I won't be home until about 7.45pm. So glad that I grabbed a coffee at Carlisle.

When you've been working on 'The Four Zoas' for about 4 years, and Microsoft still autocorrects "zoas" to "zoos" on a new document! 🤣
