Thinking of writing a song called ‘My Upstairs Neighbour Is Watching M*A*S*H’. It would sound like the theme tune from M*A*S*H as heard through the ceiling.

Pretty much my exact experience! I was already having a great time with them but somewhere around the 20th book it seemed to go up another level. Just absolutely glorious books. I’m still trying to pace myself but I’ve only got five left now… and I’ll be rereading them before long, I’m sure!

Middle-age spread? Oh you mean a waist of time?

Exceedingly excited to be making a start on Blackout by Connie Willis, the first of a two-part story that concludes her Oxford Time Travel series. Willis was one of my favourite new-to-me discoveries of 2022, and Doomsday Book (the first part of this series) was one of my biggest highlights of the year. Big thanks to m’bestie Rachel for giving me both parts of the finale for Christmas! 💜

Paperback copies of Blackout and All Clear by Connie Willis, on a bed table over my bed. Blackout is on top of the pile. The cover is a stark black and white image of St Paul’s Cathedral surrounded by white smoke edged by black shadows.

@nickbax Aw I’m sorry for your loss. Losing a cat is hard, I still miss mine after more than a decade.

@nickbax It’s a beautiful, meaningful episode, one of my favourites too. I absolutely wept when I saw it.

Hello. My name is Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer. You used to laugh and call me names, and never let me join in any reindeer games. Prepare to die.

Lots of people will be reading / watching A Christmas Carol around this time of year. One of the central messages of the story is that greed, selfishness, and unrestrained capitalism kills disabled people. Scrooge’s cruelty leads directly to the death of Tiny Tim, who can only be saved when Scrooge changes his ways. Something something don’t vote Tory, support striking workers, take necessary precautions to prevent the continuing spread of covid, etc etc. You get it, right?

@yayoi272 @LASunshine You’re very welcome! I’m so glad to have spread some joy with their wonderful music.
