Read: Wild Houses by Colin Barrett ★★★★☆📚
Wild life among the low life. Very Irish. Drugs, crime & kidnap in small town Ireland. Nicely written and paced.

I guess in not paying for the various efficiencies gained with Sync or Readwise then it is costing me my time? Food for thought I guess.
Or maybe you save a bit of time by not exploring all the services you would have to pay for?
I love the idea of a Sunday drive blog. Perhaps the correct pace for a blog to be. Relaxed, without particular direction and enjoyable. I’ve got the idea of ‘a Sunday stroll’ as a description of where I want my blog to go. See also Flâneur.
Read Started Early, Took My Dog by Kate Atkinson ★★★★☆ 📚
Took a while for the strands to come together, each character drawn with detail. Once I was engaged the end came too quick. Slightly confused as I came in at 4th in the series, although I’d watch the tv one long ago.
Read: The Starling: A Biography by Stephen Moss ★★★★☆ 📚
A nice read about one of my favourite creatures. History, behaviour & plenty of murmuration. Lovely old pictures too.
The Last Apple.

Listened: OEG Voices 075: Madison Swain-Bowden and Zack Krida on Openverse – OE Global Voices
Alan talks to two of the team behind OpenVerse. Really interesting. I’ve made amateurish use of the API so great to glimpse behind the curtain of an amazing project.
Listened to Timetable – Episode 135: It is 2025 from @manton.
Love this, 1 minutes 42 seconds. I’ve listened twice, read the transcript. If you are
ready to bring back a little bit of the old web as a shield against a web that feels increasingly like an ad engagement machine instead of a publishing platform and community for people.
micro.one looks like a great way to control your content and
a quieter space that still feels connected to other platforms.
