“The Lost Robot” by Joe Todd‑Stanton = visual storytelling at its very best.
Epic spreads, emotional depth, and a robot you’ll root for from page one. Brilliant picturebook craft. Stunning and full of heart, a modern classic in the making #PicturebookPage @flyingeyebooks.bsky.social
The whole book is stunning…wonderful #UnderTheDustJacket (flying Eye don’t often do this) and beautiful #Endpapers

Love them, that first album was a revelation, dark, smoky, coruscating and utterly beautiful. My original vinyl has had a lot of wear.
#FridayFive
1)Red House Painters 1 (Rollercoaster ) Red House Painters.
2)Tindersticks (debut) Tindersticks
3)Sunlight Echoes, Whitelands
4) Rooks, Shearwater
5) Lift your Skinny Fists, Godspeed You the Black Emporer.
And that’s why you need the book…
Daisy Hirst’s “There Is Not Usually a Hole” is the best kind of shaggy dog/ cat story - playful, quietly brave, and full of trust in young readers. Dark tunnels, found friends, and humour in what’s left unsaid. Simple, smart, and deeply satisfying. A joy! #PicturebookPage @walkerbooksuk.bsky.social
Todays soundtrack…back to being 18 again, pogoing round the bedroom and shouts coming from downstairs to turn that damn racket down.
Thanks @nedsatomicdustbin.bsky.social
What a truly beautiful book about loss and remembering.
“Where Are You Eddie?” By @michaelrosenyes.bsky.social and #GillSmith is a stunning thoughtful book about how we don’t lose those we love and they live through the people their lives touch. @walkerbooksuk.bsky.social

Second “A Seafood Song” by the Divine Comedy

First this slightly risque song from Pursuit of Happiness…”Food”

One of my fave musical moments in a film… “Dreams Come True” by Hall and Oates from 500 days of Summer #FebMusicChallenge26 youtu.be/mlEM3icdO_c
“Hopelessly fighting the devil futility
Feeling the monster climb deeper inside of me
Feeling him gnawing my heart away hungrily
I'll never lose this pain
Never dream of you again”
Also the best teenage mope song…end lyrics, end album “Untitled” The Cure. #FebMusicChallenge26

So this has the best guitar solo ending ever… however putting it on a jukebox 7 times in a row just as we were leaving when on holiday is one of the evilest things I’ve ever done. “Freebird” Lynyrd Skynyrd #FebMusicChallenge26 youtu.be/0LwcvjNJTuM
It’s a stand alone, really, but some links to past that don’t alter the understanding or are explained well. However I would recommend all of them and start at the beginning
Love this series by #samuelsedgman
“The Galileo Heist” lives up to expectations. Isaac and Hattie set about writing a wrong, it ‘s full of peril, derring-do, double-crosses and twists. It’s a total page-turner. A fab series that I know kids can’t wait to read. @bloomsburybooksuk.bsky.social
“Sword fight outside McDonalds” by Jim Bob
One of the greatest lyricist storytellers of other last 30 years.

Cheers Alex.
Best choice I ever made in hindsight ;-)
So 22 years married as of today. Tomorrow, it’s 32 years since we first met. Love you more than ever @lizjhenry.bsky.social (Dr)
I never thought in a million years on that drunken afternoon you would be the one.
Here’s to loose morals, afternoon drinking and poor choices
That was Wednesday’s listening…also Some Kind of Stranger is magnificent
Continuing my Goth 1/2 term. Today’s listening is…
“Floodland” by The Sisters of Mercy.
Mercilessly laughed at by my own sister when I put it on at home age 16. She was Wrong! It’s still amazing.
I look forward to it.
Also inviting you to come and look at our model of inclusion. Think it’s pretty special.
It’s a mess Jon.
It was really was…it made me much braver.
Also this “Vagabonds” New Model Army. #FebMusicChallenge26 for the same reasons. I was a different person when I came back in a good way, it helped me understand people, and value kindness, generosity to others.

So at 19 I skipped Uni and followed New Model Army on tour, 14 gigs in 17 days from St Austell to Aberdeen, hitching from venue to venue. The Levellers were the support band and had just released this “One Way”. Best gigs I’ve ever been to. Changed my life. #FebMusicChallenge26
