Today I am mostly thinking about the popular inter-war literary genre 'animal stories written by fascists'. Join me.

Title page of a collection of animal stories by Henry Williamson: TARKA THE OTTER, SALAR THE SALMON, THE EPIC OF BROCK THE BADGER, CHAKCHEK THE PEREGRINE.

Anyway blasted some cobwebs and listened to nonsense, stood and watched a kestrel having its tea. Had to watch out of the side of my eye so as not to spook it. Then watched a couple of skeins land on the lake.

Performatively reading in the cafe, but wearing white gloves so I'm still venerating the Book As Object, with a t-shirt saying "I know archivists don't wear gloves" so people know the gloves are performative.

Who remembers the digital vt220?
This sturdy box must be 40 years old. Apart from its original journey it has moved my stuff from Brixton to Lichfield and from Lichfield to Newbury. Delivered to the tip today for its final journey to cardboard heaven.

I think it is statistically unlikely that 100% of the contributors to Razzle Reader's Wives were married.
