I've been shorn.
Barber going on about how Barack Obama had gone back in time according to one of his books.
I suggested he might have preface such with, "If only..."

Funny that in disaster movies the meteorites always hit the roads no matter how many fields and mountains there are available.

I enjoy playing Eric Satie, especially his Gnossienne suite, which has no time beats at all.

BristolCon today where the giant sci-fi writer, Mark Iles, remained sitting so I wouldn't look like a midget.

Hands up if you're lucky enough to live on #Malta then you can freely read VENGEANCE ISLAND on your library Libby App! The book combines the horrific mass abduction of Gozo’s population in 1551 with a modern couple’s inheritance.

Hiking in the rain again but we are well prepared with water proofs and broken brollies. The dash through the sudden deluge makes cafe stops all the more welcome. #isleofman

In 1551 pirates abducted everybody on the island of Gozo. Most were sold as slaves in #Libya and Constantinople. There's only one novel focusing on this tragedy yet escape and revenge: Vengeance Island.
