I’m a volunteer rescuer at an animal rescue hospital. They’ve just started to let me do some of the releases back into the wild which is the best bit.

That’s so cool. Good old Patricia. I’ve been lucky enough to release a tawny owl and a fox back into the wild this week. Such a privilege.

Animal rescue playlist: tonight I introduced ‘Lou’ a pigeon who has an impact injury to the Velvet Underground’s ‘VU’ album on the way to the animal hospital. He seemed to dig it!

When I worked at Grand Royal we had a lot of the issues pulped as they didn’t sell that well initially. I still regret that decision to this day.

I’m in an ethical pickle about watching any Graham Linehan related TV shows!

What are you working on next?

This is such a great book about such a creative and key figure in WW2. Great job.

Mackenzie Crook Remembers... Detectorists Mackenzie Crook shares what inspired him to write his hit series Detectorists - a funny and touching series about a group of metal detectorists (not detectors) in the fictional town of Danebury.

For any fans of ‘Detectorists’ this interview with Mackenzie Crook is worth 19 minutes of anybody’s time: www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/epis...

I used to manage Gang of Four and the thing I loved about Andy was that you couldn’t speak to him about the Man Utd game as he would always record it and watch it later on his treadmill. He got really annoyed if you even hinted at the result!

Watched Conclave last night and thoroughly enjoyed it. It stayed true to the book as much as I can remember with a glorious cast. Well worth a watch.

My book of the year has to be ‘I wouldn’t say it if it wasn’t true’ by @stevewynn.bsky.social who is evidently my best friend!

I rarely buy anything rarely for the second time but I did get the ‘More Specials’ re-masters this week because the original vinyl was quite flimsy when it can out. I love the idea of half-speed remasters too.

I ❤️ it!

My favourite album of all time
