24.04.2025 17:24 — 👍 2 🔁 2 💬 0 📌 0One of the amazing speeches yesterday was by Diana, a woman who has had her GRC for 20 years. One fact she shared is that there are only 8,000 people with a GRC in the UK. All this vitriol, all the money for the court cases, space in newspapers, time in parliament, to target 8,000 people. Of course>

Photograph: Lottie, a young brown spaniel, on a path that winds through the Devon hills close to my studio.
Photograph: Lottie on lower Nattadon Hill, an old oak tree behind her.
Photograph: A smiling spaniel, in love with the world. The rain has stopped, the birds are singing, the hills are rich with delicious smells. This is canine bliss.
On a walk through the hills this morning...
"Language is like a road, it cannot be perceived all at once because it unfolds in time, whether heard or read. This narrative or temporal element has made writing and walking resemble each other." - Rebecca Solnit (from Wanderlust: A History of Walking)

Reading the English translation of the French book Double Room by Anne Sénès in France has a different flavour. Thank you so much @orendabooks.bsky.social for the proof copy. I’m loving it so far. Please… pre-order now! It’s simply brilliant! Love, loss and #synesthesia

I may be the 7 millionth person to share this but it really hits home as I stare at a screen all day analysing data for my day job then stare at a screen all evening and all weekend as I write my books. But we’re dancing animals. You know, we love to move around… #kurtvonnegut #BookSky #envelope
