It was great to be part of tonight's episode of Who Do You Think You Are? which airs 9pm on BBC One. The programme uncovers a remarkable Irish family story. (Also, Aisling Bea is some woman for one woman!)

Thank you to my pal @fhayesmccoy.bsky.social for The Bookseller's Gift. I love to read in season, so this kept me good company over the past few days. A warm and hopeful novel that vividly evokes a small town sense of community and the relationship threads that run through it.

a german shepherd puppy is curled into a tight little loaf on a light colored sofa. she has her front paws tucked under themselves at the wrist, and the tip of her tail is tucked in under her body as well. her pointy ears have little tufts of fur at the base. she looks a little sleepy and a lot cozy.
This is Roxy. Her head is almost the same size as her body. This is because she is very, very smart. 12/10
