Oh - and if anyone out there wants to revisit those halcyon days of early to mid 2020, when everyone was starting podcasts to stave off the horror of being with their families 24 hours a day, I’ve dug out some old episodes of Two Tired Dads. More to come https://t.co/ud7kRSq3RK

@robincrimp Best. Tweet. Ever.

In case anyone’s interested, I’m going to have another crack at this podcasting malarkey. https://t.co/fMh6swWIsB

@robincrimp I feel terrible. I just assumed that, like most podcasts, Kev and I were just mumbling into the void. I won’t let you down again.

@winstonpeters - still a fan of the protesters now?

[Andrew Smith @PileoBooks]

@comyn_scomyn That’s awesome Sarah - congratulations! Have just read your chapter and it’s wonderful. Lovely to see some familiar names among the contributors as well.

@robincrimp @guardian There is however an errant apostrophe in your tweet. Marks off.

In which I try to give comfort to all those new English grads out there. https://t.co/TJV5TOyMww

@robincrimp @guardian I’m glad you’re familiar with my oeuvre Rob. Full marks.

Another cheerful read for a Monday morning.

Well, this is a worry.

The only thing I’d add to this list of reasons to study English is because it’s interesting in its own right. And that seems as good a reason to get an education in something as anything else. https://t.co/a59wZcTsy2

Just noticed this tree in the Botanic Gardens has a poem. I quite like it.

Jersey Boys is a lot of fun. You should go see it.

Let’s increase awareness of the challenges faced by ancient sea-maidens in modern New Zealand. Sing to Me by @TakiRuaProd is a compassionate, funny piece of theatre. Go see it.

⁦.⁦@hamishandandy⁩ your work I assume?

[Andrew Smith @PileoBooks]

If You Should Fail by @joemoransblog is fantastic. I don’t know whether I should call it a success, given his argument, but it has certainly brought me a lot of solace. Does what it says on the tin.

“At the now empty send-off stage, one last song played, in what seemed to be a final act of defiance: My Way, by Frank Sinatra.”

So pathetic, it’s funny.
