@jk_rowling @seanmcginty Surely the youngster bit of old? <another 61 year old>

Top marks to whoever set today's Connections puzzle!

@DarlingAxe Another bibliography

No wonder I love @VictoriaCoren if all she did at college was sit reading Milton...

[Timothy Collinson @timpaa]

@DarlingAxe 2000 words. But PCC Minutes so probably doesn't count.

That must be one of my favourite Only Connect moments with @VictoriaCoren as all six players demonstrate utter cluelessness about football

The Collected Letters of C.S. Lewis, vol II: Books, Broadcasts, and the War, 1931–1949, edited by Walter Hooper, HarperSanFrancisco, 2004, pp. 506-507

Perhaps I shouldn't be surprised that C.S. Lewis knew the feeling about breaking streaks: "I know all about the despair of overcoming chronic temptations. It is not serious provided self-offended petulance, annoyance at breaking records, impatience etc...

New March Harrier adventure over on DriveThru - this one a cracker from Steve Ellis and one of my all time favourite PCs. A librarian monk - what's not to love!

Excitement of the morning is the publication of one my tanka in the brand new issue of Quails Eggs: https://t.co/6Q8mWuN6UJ

@QcWynter @WonPeople Wow! That is shocking. Fascinating (if depressing at so many levels) read. Cheers.

[Timothy Collinson @timpaa]

@msrachelramsay Even more brilliant then. I might go see if the clouds have cleared here. Although light pollution is pretty bad here with Southampton west of me, Fareham north and Portsmouth to the east.

Cryptic crossword finished and sent into Times just before tomorrow's deadline. Never seem to win but it's satisfying to try.

@ChloeApLeftie @johanlammers Only have to have the vaguest hint that boredom is on the horizon and will either massively over prepare or fall asleep to stave it off.

Liv was great - thank you. Fun session and I loved my space walk! I can dream!

[Timothy Collinson @timpaa]
