Streets in new housing developments should be legally required to be named after which bit of the local ecosystem they destroyed. 'Lost Badgers Set Avenue'. 'Exterminated Glow Worm Lane'. 'Paved Over Wildflower Meadow Esplanade'.

Fellow former* coach holiday gal here. Severely underrated as a fuss free getaway.

Read what #CILIPScotland colleague Kirsten MacQuarrie has to say on feminist librarianship and the lack of male peers: "It is a truth universally acknowledged that a job well-valued, in every sense, will not be in want of male colleagues."โคต๏ธ

Made a little felt Triffid, based on the Penguin paperback cover.
In retrospect I wish I hadnโ€™t chosen the most nutsack colour to sew what was already quite a bollockular form but sometimes I quite enjoy having created myself a bit of an obstacle to deal with, or in this case, a testicle to surmount
