Bucket list ticked.
Wonderful and exhausting few days in NYC for #APAC25 and #AUDIES25 ... great to meet friends and colleagues ... sad to have been unable to catch up with everyone.
The sign outside the London Book Fair last year said it all ... a huge sign. 'Don't let Spotify do to books what it has done to music.' And a year later, here we are. Shame on Findaway, Shame on Spotify. #realvoices
THIS! But authors, who are so up in arms about authors using AI to write seem quite prepared to have a synthetic voice read their stories, but if they don't care about quality, then I guess its their loss. No soul, no empathy, no heart. #realvoices

A programme of only a few seconds then.
On the fifth anniversary of Brexit, we dedicate the entire show to listing all the benefits it has brought to the U.K.

And as someone planning to fly to the USA in the next month, this reckless action makes me consider whether I should cancel my flight and give up on the visit.
Heartbreaking.
Huge congratulations to all winners .. especially the amazing @justine1902.bsky.social so proud of you!
Tea with the family today ... bit of a treat after a long day at the computer. #taxreturn
Holocaust Memorial Day. We must never forget.
Feeling grateful to have recognised that a friend I've known for years is an unexpected kindred soul and is destined to become an important part of my life. #lifeisfullofsurprises #friendship #mutualsupport

Fellow over 70s - when you have to renew your driving licence BEWARE! Go via gov.uk ... ITS FREE ... use other routes and there is a charge. The site I landed on first was charging £78 plus £10 to fast track. Its a scam ... but you don't realise till you've filled in all your info.
Nostalgic for a proper BR full English. #thosewerethedays

And I though it was just me!
Curious ... Those in the know will know. #ADHD #neurodiversity
Haven't done thus for years ... relying on online scheduling ... hoping it helps me to be more organised ... if you write it down it has to happen! Inspired by @anaclements.bsky.social #selfaccountability
Glorious couple of days spent with Audiobook chum @anaclements.bsky.social chatting, working, walking, eating, discovering, making plans. #friendship #accountability #empathy #timeout
Really looking forward to chatting about #Audiobooks to @anneflosnik.bsky.social and #KarenCommins #NarratorUplift on Clubhouse. 7.00pm UK. 2.00pm ET. www.facebook.com/share/1DeAhi...
Erewash Phoenix Choir ... what a wonderful afternoon singing Carols with residents of a local care home - watching their faces lighting up as the memories of past Christmases return along with the words to some old favourites - pure joy.
Just a pic of UK and European flags in speech bubbles.

Today has mostly been about recovering from singing in six Christmas concerts one after the other, two outside in the cold, one inside in a freezing cold church, one in a boiling hot church, and one that was just right, followed by one in a very hot church hall. ! More than a little husky today.
