Not necessarily in that order.

December 2024

Not a stand out month. Would perhaps like some recommendations for 2025.

#BooksWhatIRead 2024.

Hags by @glosswitch was the absolute stand out for January. Thought provoking, excoriating, brilliant. Lots of people will be getting it as birthday presents! (much like In Her Nature last year, which I gifted 3+times).

Dolly Parton was hilarious.

November #bookswhatIread

Kate Atkinson was terrific. I'm tempted to revisit the whole Jackson Brodie series, especially as Reacher has completely gone off the boil. Hagitude was good prep for being a middle aged woman of a etc. Carter was just a bit too mad.

Delighted to see @Finn_Mackay having the last word on 2024.

Haooy new year.

THIS DAY in 1918, Constance Markievicz became first elected female Westminster MP.

NOT Nancy Astor, as you might have been taught in school (and some media still insist)

Constance is all but forgotten because she was an Irish Nationalist and refused to take her seat in London.

Good work gang!

@mrsstronghorse @PeteOlusoga You and whose army?

The best self defence a woman can have is a savings account and a number of trusted friends or family members she can call. The most dangerous man to you is a current or former romantic partner, not a random stranger in an alleyway.

@TristanCorkPost Footpath rather than road, but the path along the Frome from Eastville park to Blackberry Hill was underwater at 4pm, and getting higher. The lake is completely flooded.

Don't get distracted by 'like a dog returning to its vomit'. Push onto 'it's hard to hear the jack boots when the owners have bone spurs'

This video camera study showed that less than 5% of people on bikes break traffic laws while riding, yet 66% of people do so when driving. And if you REALLY want even MORE bike-riders to obey laws, build more protected bike infrastructure. Via @carltonreid https://t.co/fP5NYJNN80
