So good to be back! Belated thank you to Uffculme School for a brilliant (day before) World Book Day visit . . . my first in several (pandemic) years. Excellent Year 7&8 readathon students had sharp, smart, creative ideas about The Rain, and our overall theme was ‘HOPE’ – if Ruby can deal with killer rain from outer space, how can we deal with tough stuff in our lives? (Answer would include not doing it alone; reach out and find kind people to support and help you!) Great visit - great students - great teachers - thank you so much, Uffculme School! #worldbookday #uffculmeschool #uffculme #devon #reading #readathon #writing #speculativefiction #therain #thestorm #whorunstheworld @panmacmillan #teacherstrike #supportteachers #schoollibrary #englishteacher #supportschoollibraries #mentalhealth

Got lost in Everything Under by Daisy Johnson - literally, until realised the eerie confusion was oh-so deliberate. Audiobook narrated like she lived it by Charlie Sanderson - download borrowed for free from @bathnes_libraries. #everythingunder #daisyjohnson #daisyjohnsonauthor #charliesanderson #amlistening #audiobooks #audiobookstagram #lovelibraries #bonak #bewarethebonak

This. Jumping in after tonight’s #bigpowerswitchoff to post first read of Joy Williams. It spoke to me - and I loved the way it is not, perhaps, easy; you have to imagine yourself into this world - though it’s a small sad slide from the one I know. Thanks to @bathnes_libraries for loan. #amreading #harrow #joywilliams #joywilliamswriter #environment #biggirl #tuskarrockpress @serpentstail

I did this last night, and I’ll be doing it again tonight - and every night: switch off for ten mins at 8pm. Only turn off your mains if it’s safe to do so - otherwise just switch off whatever you can. I heard this worked in Spain; people switched off and electricity prices there now frozen at 2019 levels? (I need to fact check - but still . . . We could do this?!) #bigpoweroff #bigpowerswitchoff #bigpower #dpac @dpac.sheffield

‘Tis the season . . . . . . to not go out walking without a gps-enabled offline map (or a friend and a dog that knows the way). Quantocks walk Saturday. Views not great. I wasn’t scared at all. Just took pictures of lone trees in case we had to use them to find our way back . . . #seasonsgreetings #walking #quantocks #somerset #imnotlost
