And do I see a fluffy donut bed?
1/3 I'm writing a book about Nigel Farage for Headline.
Some of his pals are blanking me.
Is it because after I reported on the killing of a Polish man in Essex in 2016, he said that I had caused him "more misery than any other in 25 years in politics"?

Beautiful! As is her little house.
Excellent!
Aww!

I did, but not as much as I've enjoyed some of her previous ones, I think - it seemed a bit too long to me. But it was very clever and very atmospheric!
Tea for me, please.

'Broken Ghosts' by J.D. Oswald aka @sirbenfro.bsky.social and loving it!
It sounds quite Netflixy, doesn't it.
Did you wonder if it was the coos? ๐
I''e read a bit by Hildur but there doesn't seem to be much in English so far?
Thanks, I've read several others and really enjoyed them all except Stella Blomqvist: I read her first book, didn't really get it and even wondered if it was meant to be a parody. Others are in my virtual tbr pile.
Oh, maybe she made it up? In the book, it's among the rocks below the radar station.

Spectacular photo with the spring flowers!
How long are your arms?
It's good but it's got very expensive.
Good, just 'The Wake' it seems.
She was the first and for a long time the only Iceland Noir author I knew. I'd read all her books up to a few years ago, but have now got a bit behind. I think I still like her first series best. Anyway, I need to check what else I've missed!
I just yesterday finished 'The Prey' by Yrsa Sigurdardottir, partly set there, and it was so atmospheric! Have you seen the blowhole in action? (I'm not sure how regular it is.)
The cursed ratio!
Sorry to be trivial, but is that a tiny version of those big fluffy microphones?
Stunning cover!
Oh yes, lovely!
Blimey!
I've been wondering if I ought to come over for it - but maybe not. I saw the big show in Edinburgh a few years ago so maybe I should just remember that warmly.
Esatto.
Oh, ok. I am old.
Incredible, well done!
Welcome home, little Fitz! What a sweetie. How old did they think he is?
