Love Murderbot, a great series of books.

Good point. Recently read The Long Way Round To A Small Angry Planet, by 10 pages in I was immersed.

questions for #booksky people

Do you ever give up on a book?

If so how long before you do?

I’m pg 911 of 2080 and I’m just not feeling this one.

Give up or plough on?

Same!
Repointing parts of the patio.
Going ‘old school’ - apparently using an angle grinder risks damaging flags (and I’m cack-handed 😂)

They sell that at one of the local bars.
Bloody marvellous.

Really looking forward to reading this. In the 90’s Hap & Leonard in Mucho Mojo saved me from a life of no books since leaving high school.
They have a special place in my life. # booksky

Just got home and Mrs Cog_Botherer said “do you want to go out for a quick drink?”

Remember when Bugs Bunny et al left a character-shaped hole in a wall when they were running away?
Well, I’ve just done that!

A day out on my @NorthRoadCycles Explorer Bess. Stacked twice, a fair few bruises and grazes 😂
A fine day on a great bike built by a great bloke.
‘Nuff said 👊

I love those books too!

Unfortunately I don’t have Apple TV 🙄

Hooray for my @NorthRoadCycles Explorer Bess. A few hours in the saddle is good for the soul.

2025 in one easy diagram.

Listened to this on my walk to work.
It made me say (out loud) “what a dick,” as Perseus went about his business.

A fine Sunday out in my @northroadcycles.bsky.social gravel bike Bess.
Love this downhill

Is “just the one Mrs Wembley” from a tv show with Dennis Waterman?? What on earth was it called??

A nice ride out on my @northroadcycles.bsky.social Explorer Bess. Longest & hilliest since my lungs kicked off! 👍
Got home before the rain arrived too! 👏

First ride in quite a few weeks. Bloody cold as well.
Nice to be out 🥶🚴🏾

Is there a word to describe the sadness of finishing a book you’ve enjoyed mixed with the anticipation of your next read?

Today is stage 1 of me trying to get back riding my gravel bike. It’s time to give it a clean (outside and it’s -1c!).
Tomorrow I’ll ride and it’ll need cleaning again 😂

Used to work in one, behind the till.
Customers getting fraught. Workers being knackered.
The friendly, understanding customers make it bearable.

My houseplant succulents. Been fine for ages then all but 2 died.

You know that feeling, when you get back from
work and you can’t be bothered? That’s me right now.

Lots of wet & windy weather today. Had a lovely vesper martini which made it more acceptable.

I read this (too) quickly. Thought it said ‘red wine warning’ 😱

Tonight’s walk home was definitely a stormy one!

Loved this book. The beginning just blew me away.

Here’s mine
