For #WITMonth I'm starting a thread of one Latin American female writer per day. A few obvious choices but trying to bring some different names into the mix and hopefully showing the incredible diversity of literature available from the area.

Not had a reply regarding this matter as yet. @RCTCouncil @AndrewMorganRCT

@RCTCouncil @AndrewMorganRCT A week or so ago I reported debris falling off a building onto the pavement but as yet nothing seems to have been done about it. This piece came off in front of me over the weekend. The building is the old Fforchneol Arms, 196 Brynmair Rd. Cwmaman.

My 10 favourite films, not necessarily in order: Les Enfants Du Paradis Tokyo Story Napoleon (1927) Die Nibelungun An Elephant Sitting Still Cabinet of Dr Caligari Stagecoach From What Is Before Shop Around The Corner His Girl Friday

Not sure why but the aubrietia has gone absolutely mad this spring, a great colourful display to cheer us until summer blooms begin.

When you already know @CharcoPress is your favourite publisher they decide to send you these three gorgeous looking novels to make you love them even more!

Guess who will be paying for the debts when they go broke as well as paying for cleaning up all the sewage damage.

The road to nowhere.

You know you are in trouble with when Jeremy Hunt is being touted as a saviour. Makes the Titanic look like a success story.

Imagine being a student in 50 years times and getting a question in exam asking you to explain British politics 2015-2023. It'll be all about incompetence and party over country.

Having spent 40 years working in pubs I can vouch that this type of conversation happened several times a day.

A lovely weekend to spend sat in the garden reading with a @Rosenkrantz double bill lined up. What could be better.

"we are the most important piece in a game,but we still don't know what game it is" Space Invaders by Nona Fernandez is an excellent read ,short but powerful and beautifully written. Tr by Natasha Wimmer .

It has been called one of the best TV series ever but hasn't been seen since 1977. Cellan Jones version of Satre's Roads to Freedom finally gets an airing tonight on BBC4. Remember seeing it as a teenager and being impressed by Michael Bryant's performance.

Whatever happens in the next couple of games this has been one of the most enjoyable football tournaments I've seen in many years.

Is there a special department in publishers for book design whose aim is to just annoy people?

Had this Ribeiro on the shelf for ages, finally started today and it's a cracker so far. An epic 400 years of Brazilian history of myths and history told with great style and dark humour, often laugh out loud . Good company for the impending heatwave.

Keep hearing the words dignity and integrity the last few days in these letters , unfortunately we are hearing them but haven't seen them from anyone in cabinet for 2 years. Self serving prats one and all.
