Last week I was mostly talking about Gef the Mongoose. This evening I'm with @FoldeDorset at the Grosvenor Arms in Shaftesbury, Dorset and probably going to talk about dolphins, psychedelics and another unusual approach to conversations with other animals.

Right, here's where I'm going to be with my talking animals over the coming weeks. I would LOVE to see you all at one of these. There's a handful of events in Cornwall and then in Dorset, Yorkshire, Cumbria and the Isle of Man.

After mixed results raising Gef the Mongoose with a Ouija board I visited the Isle of Man. There were some warning signs, like the decomposing Hooded crow and the bridge reading ANGER. I’ll be @manxlitfest talking about https://t.co/HZ1h57G7bH. (Image is from @donyatodd's cover)

‘I am toad-shaped. My arms and legs are crooked. I am amphibian.’ Following neuroscientist John Lilly’s dolphin communication methods, the more time I spent in the tank the quicker I relaxed and the more weirdness occurred. The Order of the Dolphin! https://t.co/HZ1h57G7bH
