Extra points if the cardigan was hand knit by a friend or family.

I’m sitting here drinking tea, wearing brown corduroy trousers, a grey knit cardigan and a scarf, and staring wistfully out of the bookshop window. I think I might have hit “peak bookseller chic”

That Epstein Man (again)

The internet has broken our tiny ape minds

I have an online ticket bought before the strike dates were announced and I’m unsure about participating. You’ll make the right decision.

I love that yarn. I knitted my cosy cardigan that’s been my fave item of autumn clothing this year.

I’ll keep my fingers crossed for you but right now it’s glorious blue skies and perfect autumn weather.

A comic strip in six panels. The panels inerlock like a jigsaw with knobs and sockets. Two stick figures walk right to left through all the panels. Panel 1: Person 1 says "I hear you're working on a new theory." Panel 2 & 3: Person 2 says: "Yes, I'm calling it the jigsaw model. I think it could change our whole View of reality." Panel 4: Person 1 says "When Will you publish?: Panel 5: Person 2 says "But a couple of things are still bothering me." (this piece/panel is a bit squint) Panel 6: This piece is rotated ninety degees and fits to the others very badly. Person 2 is saying "Soon. I feel like I'm really close" A second look at the whole comic shows that the last two panels read in the wrong order because the jigsaw has been put together incorrectly.

My first #WokeSuperman experience was this poster in the doctors and dentist as a kid.

I went on to smoke fags for 25 years so that showed him.

A handknitted shawl with petals of different coloured leaves, each outlined in brown that make up the whole. Draped over a grey sofa.

#ShowMeYourKnits #GarterStitch a beautiful shawl that made me think of stained glass windows. Knit as a single piece.

Camping in the rain, next to a forest, reading Weird Woods in my tent while drinking coffee. Perfect. Thank you @britishlibrary.bsky.social
