Just worked out with my new SkyQ box I can now watch programmes I thought I'd missed some episodes of when they were first broadcast so I'm watching one of my favourites @JamesMoir10 @nancy_sorrell #paintingbirdswithjimandnancymoir #curlews #paintingbirds.

. Gutted to have missed @WednesdayErskin at your "Manchester" book signing event only just found out about after listening to you on Radio Ulster - there was nothing about it on X/Twitter I guess I need to check my #bluesky more often 🙈#thebenefactors.

So I ended up getting the next episode of #takefourbooks and it features my favourite writer from East Belfast @WednesdayErskin with her new novel #TheBenefactors my copy arrived in the post today and also the new series of #TheBear🐻 starts - What A Day To Be Alive!! #misty

Catching up on #takefourbooks @BBCRadio4 with @Jdcrawf & @DomHowell23 @andrewmiller and his novel #thelandinwinter which is set in the cold winter of 1963 which is also when my short story #thesixlanesuperhighway starts #1963 📕📗📘📙.

Just started on Talking Pictures. can you spot familiar places ? ☠️.

Seeing all the old comrades commemorating 80 Years since VE Day reminded me of my old pal Jack who served at Leuchars in the war which has also been in the news for having 18 completely dry days let's see if @alryanradio has news of rain at #midnightfortyeight #shippingforecast

So I'm catching up on a couple of episodes of #TakeFourBooks with Xiaolu Guo's "Call Me Ishmaelle" @Jdcrawf on @bbc4 and who should I hear but the soft Scottish tones of Alan from @thiwurd .and @DomHowell23 Who else is going to be on ? 📕📗📘📙.

This Saturday I'll be part of the S.G.S.K.A.S. playing some of our fave #krautrock tunes on vinyl @ThePrinceAlbert to celebrate my lifelong friend David Withington's 60th Birthday #year60 #55yearsoffriendship #stroud #neu #can #kraftwerk #krautrockjabitte

More wonderful stuff on #takefourbooks tonight featuring @eoinmcnamee3 with @DomHowell23 in the producer's chair 📕📗📘📙.

Q: The great mystery of the midnight forty eight #shippingforecast on @BBCRadio4 where did @alryanradio missing pages get to the other night ? Answers on a postcard 🚢🌊 #unflappable.

WTF is this blowhard on again tonight !! @vicderbyshire stop inviting him on. really can't be doing with this fella #newsnight #trumpmouthpiece #gobshite.

So I'm listening to @BBCRadio4 waiting for the #shippingforecast and #takefourbooks is on before it so listened back to some other episodes and recognise a narrator on the Jonathan Coe one and realise it's @DomHowell23 from @thiwurd classes 📕📗📙📘.

Nice mention of my favourite inshore coastal area Ardnamurchan Point tonight by @alryanradio after the 00:48 @BBCRadio4 shipping forecast as a geology student in 1986 I spent all summer looking at the #conesheets & #dykes of Kilchoan Bay #ardnamurchanpoint.
