Absolutely! Total attention required. No skipping, no flipping back to check details or names etc… and I’d say audiobooks reignited my love of novels and got me physically reading more too. Winner!

Rehearsal chaos incoming 👀
Five actors. Multiple roles. Maximum mayhem.
We're having the best time in rehearsals for The Grand Babylon Hotel! The Dipping House now has a waiting list for every show, but you can still see us on tour:

Made me laugh. Love a good pun I do.

Excellent. 👌

That's how many times Farage is in the Epstein files, and in numbers of documents he’s in, it’s…

Yet, the British mainstream media…

Imagine if Keir Starmer’s name was in the Epstein files.

But no it’s Farage’s. So nothing to see here.

Peak Yorkshireman that. 🤣 ❤️

A bird's-eye view of a former Auschwitz II-Birkenau camp showing a wide dirt pathway flanked by parallel rows of barbed-wire fences. Groups of visitors walk along the path, surrounded by the remnants of brick structures and barracks, now reduced to foundations. Green grass contrasts with the somber history of the site, as the path leads toward a guard tower in the distance.

Auschwitz was at the end of a process. We must remember that it did not start from gas chambers.

This hatred gradually developed: from ideas, words, stereotypes & prejudice through legal exclusion, dehumanization & escalating violence... to systematic and industrial murder.

Auschwitz took time.

Both Penguin and President appear to be lost.

She is a beautiful soul (and a dustbin). Your book looks great! I’m off to order it now. 👏🏻

My Labrador/Springer has that same appalling urge and I spend lots of time on our walks saying, ‘what are you eating now…? Drop! DROP!!’ I’m glad your lovely lad is ok. Total nightmare. 🙏🏻

Needs a perm! 😆

If you:
1. Need to get guests to studios, and back home after, or
2. Need to get staff safely into work or back home after the tube has stopped running

You need to use taxis or private hire. If you do that via contract, it’s cheaper than paying full price each time.

And who is ‘we’ and how long is ‘than ever’?

Mabel and the moon.
Our morning walk today - phot can’t capture the beauty of the low setting moon. It was a stunner.

Ps @groomb.bsky.social - Northerners is my current audio book. Loving it. 😊

Christmas after that sweltering summer! I was 9 years old not far away in Leeds, having just moved there from Ossett. This photo is so evocative. I love the Santa and balloons above the door. A lost world that was, in its way, very real and beautiful.

😆

In the UK this is practically the uniform of theatre technicians. Long shorts all year round. Though, admittedly, is not as cold here.

Staffordshire Solstice.

Politicians wringing their hands over why teachers are leaving the profession. The truth is, we'd get more people staying in teaching if our various Governments understood that the real purpose of education is *not* to build a compliant workforce, but a society of well-rounded individuals...

Great sunrise this morning. Mabel and I watched it from Keele Butts #Staffordshireskies

And those who had rather die than live in war-torn, famine riven, or repressive countries had better “do it! and decrease the surplus population!”

Strong agree. Get out of your own way. The story happens in the mind of the reader anyway.

The wonky smile always indicates exceptional focus. 😍

Sound advice. 😆

Lunchtime dog walk listening sorted!*

*I prefer to confront the uncanny in broad daylight 😬👻
