Good morning and welcome to Fish For Tea Friday

Move forward, even on the days you feel like sitting down.

Embrace your life journey with gratitude, so that how you travel your path is more important than reaching your ultimate destination.

Hello, I’m a Radio Producer working on All Things Considered for BBC Radio Wales. We would like to interview you for a future edition of the programme. If this is something you’d be interested in, could you let me know the best email address to contact you on? Thanks so much for your time.

Against a teal and white fabric background, six anthologies stacked spine up between two brass objects. The anthologies are: SINOPTICON and SINOPHAGIA edited by Xueting C. Ni, SOMEONE IN TIME edited by Jonathan Strahan, NORDIC VISIONS edited by Margret Helgadottir, NEW SUNS 1 and 2 edited by Nisi Shawl. The white Solaris logo is in the bottom left corner.

As we creep closer to #summer solstice, how about some short stories for short nights?

Tales of time-crossed love, Chinese horror and sci-fi, Nordic Visions and futuristic tales from people of colour ed. by @jonathanstrahan.bsky.social‬ @xuetingni.bsky.social‬ @nisishawl.bsky.social‬ & more!

Saw the wonderful Sir Patrick Stewart talking about his life and work in Stratford-upon-Avon today. I’ve had to zoom in to get this photo but it was magical to be in the same room as him.

Thinking back to 2015 when I was reading “Slade House” by David Mitchell and how mind blowing it was to be reading something that was set on the exact days I was reading it. Incredible experience and reminds me that I need to read more of his work.

I love all the items on offer in this SAG-AFTRA ebay auction - watercolors of your pet by John Lithgow! a Mark Ruffalo-signed Funko Pop Hulk! - but maybe especially the one where Adam Scott walks your dog for an hour: www.ebay.com/e/charity/tu...

You’re so welcome! And no pressure at all, but if you ever returned to that world we would be snapping that book up too 😻. Off to enjoy your other stories now.

This book was so wonderful that I recommended it to my book group and they all loved it too!
