Read: The Bee Sting by Paul Murray ★★★★★ 📚
A great read, multiple pov, full of surprises. Inside each character’s head indecision jerks chains. The stories shift between characters, each enough for a novel of its own. At first I felt some were left hanging, but it all weaves together.

Bookmarked First installation of BirdNET-Pi | Simon Dobson.
The BirdNET-Pi system aims to provide out-of-the-box bird identification. It’s slightly more awkward than that, but still pretty straightforward to get up and running.
Might be a nice summer project to take back to school.
Walked to Loch Humphrey this morn. Warm, cloudy a slight breeze. The ground sparkling with flowers. Meadowsweet coming out. Plenty of birds too. Whitethroat singing in the new trees. A skylark bathing in the path dust. Butterflies: Meadow Browns, Ringlets & a Small pearl-bordered Fritillary.

A walk around Ardinning, quiet (Euros?), warm, 17! cloudy with a nice breeze. First Ringlets and small heaths I’ve seen this year.
Dad’s day walk to Duncolm in the rain this morning. Lots of wee flowers. Plenty of birds too. Young warblers hiding in the bracken. Cuckoos calling, a pair flew by. Whinchat and Wheatear on the moor, larks and more.

looks like a little library in Naseby Park. I wonder how it is going to cope with the damp climate in Scotland.
Read: Slough House by Mick Herron ★★★★☆ 📚
Best one in the last few I’ve read. Although the back & forth between different fields of action at a cliff hanger is predictably it works. Politically incorrect attitudes from Jackson still funny. More emotion & connection to the characters.
warning parents that although they think they are giving their children access to the internet, they are really giving the internet access to their children.
I’ve not listened to this yet but this jumped out at me.
Read: The Vagrants by Yiyun Li ★★★★☆ delicately written, horrifying account of lives in post Mao (just) China. There are very few moments of hope but my sympathy for the characters ran deep.
