MOT passed, out office on. Driving up to Cumbria tomorrow, with a stop off in Pendleton. Weekend escape. Emphasis on escape.

Spakin propa, Matthew.

Love this for you

Fantastic story on a top tier boozer. Great work @davidjesudason.bsky.social. Lovely photography too @lilywaite.bsky.social.

Any of you kids going to the Friday of GBBF this year?

Lovely words celebrating a Brewery that deserves to be celebrated!

Really wish I was at The Bull and Bladder at this moment in time.

Becky Burke of Book Island (a picture book publisher in the UK founded by my fellow Tokarczuk translator Greet Pauwelijn) was "detained" by ICE at the Canadian border on 2/28. Her father asked that her story be shared in case someone can help her. He writes:

Take my tax payers money

OK, now I'm engaged. Tell me more about this cheesecake.

This has happened to me approximately 4 times today.

Just looking out for you mate.
