Oo — just remembered that Sean Lusk’s A Woman of Opinion won fiction book of the year in the #SaltireBookAwards two days ago, which is your reminder to read this brilliant book.

This is the best birthday present — from me to me 😂 — Margaret Atwood’s memoir. Might even edge it to the top of the to-read pile.

Susie Woolf is a formidable force. You’d never think it to hear her reasoned, gentle chat but boy is she focused. Great interview by Lee McKenzie for Toppings Edinburgh tonight. Buy her new memoir, Driven

The festival has begun.

Woke tired and irritable this morning — then opened the curtains to this rainbow pink sky *and* Adam Ant was in the @6music.bsky.social Cloudbusting mix.

Officially cheered up!

I wonder what Guy Pierce's current partner, Carice van Houten, thinks about his ex-wife being the greatest love of his life 🤔 Perhaps she's reassured by his claim that he has "moved on" 😁

Just dropped the dog off at the vet for an x-ray. Nothing major — possibly an issue with kneecap. But I am a MESS. Her face as I walked away… 😭

Bit personal.

Do not buy this Woodmansterne advent calendar unless you have either a degree in engineering or the man in their video showing you how to put it together.

Do not come to me for cat posts — apart from this one. Because look at them. They are trying to join us in our holiday apartment. The ginger one is purring like a train.

Bookshop Day today. I am in Sofia, so here is a Bulgarian bookshop. Reckon I can understand the book pictured…
