It was a surprising amount of fun reading Betrayal Island, a story about a forthcoming TV show celebrating malicious liars, which I took from a couple of different perspectives.

"Recognising ourselves in a reflection is taken to be a marker of intelligence, thought Polly, turning her head this way and that into the mirror. 'Why is that?' she thought. Such questions were the best way to pass the time..."

"Once upon a time, there was a man called Ken. Ken lived in a kingdom called America. He lived in a place in America called California. It was always nice and warm and sunny in California, when it wasn’t on fire that is."

We are typically swimming in internet 24/7, sometimes bringing problems. I tried a low tech way to halve the dose. https://t.co/4jSFPgSHxy

Heavy internet use can cause mental overload and distraction, so I drew on some public health ideas to create a long-term digital refuge for just over a tenner. #offthegrid #offline #unplug #digitalwellbeing

Margo Martindale makes a wonderfully malign presence in "Blow the man down" (2019), a film which delivers that rare combination of funny, tense and heavily fishing-oriented. 8/10

Rudyard Kipling’s how-to of selfless Victorian stoicism adapted to the meet the demands of modern life. With apologies to Kipling and all those who like the original. If it’s any comfort, so do I.
