Absolutely FUMING! 🤬 Went to Nottingham Royal Concert Hall. Wife dropped our keys at Euro Car Parks. Some thieving bastard unlocked our car and nicked my Stone Island jacket, chocolates and cash! TRACKED the keys to an address – nobody answered! Keys STILL missing! Absolute scum
Yazoo imagined life before it happened. the minutes and Other speak with the wisdom of experience. Electronica threaded the decades, that extraordinary voice owned every beat, every staccato move. Older, wiser, gloriously unapologetic. It’s good to be Other. @AlisonMoyet
Oh, Leicester, what fresh bloody lunacy is this? Half-term before the rest of civilisation. Out of step, out of sync, and for what? One paltry week. ONE. If we must insist on being gloriously contrary, give us two weeks, for Christ’s sake. Make the inconvenience worth something.

The Poppy Fields @nikkierlick. Out in the desert, a promise: sleep until the hurting stops. Oh, the temptation. A strange, tender, occasionally wandering tale of battered hearts. But grief has its own pulse. Would we really want to wake without it?

The Art of a Lie by @LauraSRobinson. Georgian London, where greed wears perfume, hypocrisy passes for virtue. I loved its sharp intelligence, delicious malice, utter contempt for polite pretence. Wickedly clever, Beneath the sweetness, everything is rotten.
What makes Time so extraordinary is its refusal to make anyone easy to judge. The cruelty is often casual, the tenderness almost unbearable. So much said in what goes unsaid. Writing and performances with the courage to leave us uncomfortable. That takes real craft. #Time
Saturday’s reading. The Art of a Lie by @LauraSRobinson. Loving it. Delving deeper into a confection of murder, secrets and exquisite deceit. One suspects the sweetest offerings conceal the bitterest truths. And somewhere beneath the sweetness, something wicked is stirring.
Yazoo’s Four Pieces on loud. That voice. That attitude. That glorious, glorious noise.
Saturday’s soundtrack, Friday’s anticipation. @AlisonMoyet , I’m getting ready for you
No frills. No nonsense. Just that magnificent, earth-shifting voice and all the glorious trouble it brings
It isn’t always the loss of a life that moves us to tears. Sometimes it’s the unbearable sight of those left to live without it. Grief written across a face, love stripped of its composure. And suddenly, a sorrow that isn’t yours finds its way into you.

The House of Fame by @oliharris808
A mother mourns a missing son. A star shines cold above London & Nick Belsey, a man already half undone, goes hunting for truth among the beautiful & the damned. Such hunger for fame. Such wretched things we do to be seen.

The Elements by @JohnBoyne — darkness doesn’t always announce itself. Sometimes it lives quietly beside us, fed by secrets, silence and complicity. A brutal, beautiful examination of guilt, innocence and the damage we do — and allow. Haunting.

#Book43 #BooksIn2026 Powerful and hidden, loved and lost. @Doug_D_Stuart’s John of John aches with all that is buried — desire, shame, belonging, the words we cannot say. Beautiful and brutal, where love lives quietly between the words — and stays. Some silences speak louder.

Birdsong. Worlds collide — love and longing, beauty and brutality — interrupted by the terrible machinery of war. Beneath the earth, amid mud, blood and thunder, survival becomes everything. And somehow, above it all, the birds still sing. @SebastianFaulks
#Book41 #BooksIn2026
Not my favourite McRae outing, but still full of MacBride’s trademark chaos, dark humour, and Aberdeen-on-the-edge energy. A solid read — just not top-tier Logan for me.
