got talked out of palaeo in school as pie in the sky. There was never an explaination of how to do it.
It was only listening to @davehone.bsky.social &
@iszi.com Terrible Lizards podcast explaining the academic pathway that I actually had the eureka moment of "Oh, THATS how it works!"

I went sleep way too late and it’s all @iszi.com fault. I picked up my kids copy of her book The Cursed Tomb thinking I would just have a quick look. At 1:40am I finally put it down having devoured it cover to cover!

A red and blue banner with a colourful book cover on it, and the words Children's Indie book of the month, and logos for Books are my bag, go all in, bokshop.org, and a hashtag for indie book of the month. The book cover is for The Domesday Cows and has medieval-style imagery of a girl in archaic dress running in front of a red banner. A light brown cow hangs on to the pole the banner is displayed upon.

Text on a blue and red background branded with children's indie book of the month logos reads: When you visit a new town, find its independent bookshop. It's often tucked between the big chains or hidden down a twisty alleyway. No two are ever alike. From the events they host to the teas they brew, every detail reflects their community. Chat to the booksellers; there’s always a story behind the shop’s name, a reason that book’s in the window and a unique recommendation. When they come together, they are an unstoppable force, driving curiosity and inspiring readers of all ages. I’m delighted Domesday Cows is Indie Book of the Month! The bright medieval-style cover of the domesday cows is visible to the left. A young girl in archaic dress runs in the foreground while a worried-looking cow hangs over the book cover.

@davehone.bsky.social @iszi.com - Listened to an old Terrible Lizards 🦖 episode this morning, which mentioned Pablo Eskobear, of course it did. It sounded hilarious, so I had a Google. It turns out there's a film about him. Did you know this? What a way to start the day!
