Still time to enter this competition, which closes on Sunday night! Tony Kent #TheShadowNetwork Elliott & Thompson

I have a cartoon in the current Private Eye. It’s for that niche of people who enjoy cetaceans and learning French at school decades ago.

“Sarvam- stories of oneness & harmony” the third and the last of the book trilogy is coming soon, just today we wrapped up the first round of edits. Thank you all who brought the other two books, and making the stories travel.🩵🐳🙏

“Iris all hues, roses, and jessamine Reared high their flourished heads between, and wrought Mosaic”.
The irises are out, the garden is blooming and we are open for #BankHolidayMonday from 2-5pm (last entry 4.30pm)

I enjoyed this cosy exhibition at the Peltz Gallery: Paper Cuts - Arts, Bureaucracy & Silenced Histories in Colonial India. Curated by surya bowyer, exposing interesting layers of #history . By lovely park with statue to #tagore . #India

The expression on the face of the one in the middle…

They can’t all resign there’ll be too many podcasts

This unusual building is not a museum, theatre, or town hall.

It's an old carpet factory in Scotland.

But why would somebody design a factory to look like a Gothic palace? Because the owner had no other choice...

What to do at 2.30pm on Tuesday 4th June in #Beaconsfield ? Join me at the library on Reynolds Road, talking about writing thrillers & cosy crime. And remember the library doesn’t sell books, it gives them away (temporarily) for FREE! #books #authorlife #crimefiction

I want to tell you a story about last night and kindness, so settle in or move on depending on your inclination. A little while ago I wrote a book called #Footmarks and was invited last night to the Hatchards ‘Authors of the Year’ reception. Invited - I assume - by mistake.

It’s fashionable, portable & the must-have from Nick Wallis to have poking coyly from your bag or pocket…

I’m tempted to enter myself, even though I already have everything by Tony Kent #TheShadowNetwork - check out Gerrards Cross Books - a lovely local bookshop

Without a solid start in life with arts & cultural education: music, theatre, dance, film… this generation of children will be poorer problem solvers, team players, leaders, understanding of different cultures, emotionally intelligent & creative. Arts education is not a luxury.

One of my favourite poets Imtiaz Dharker is appearing at Khushwant Singh Literary Festival London soon. She’s has various v good collections, but I’ve been reading her (here’s a wee bit) in Pádraig Ó Tuama’s Poetry Unbound: 50 Poems to Open Your World collection from Canongate this morning. It delivers.

I’ve just noticed we don’t have a guest for our podcast The Hobcast Bookshow going out next Monday (so recording next week). Anyone want to come on? Let me know!! #podcast

Just thinking about how painstakingly James Nunn researched the era & was inspired by this 1920’s matchbox label to design the cover and typeface for #TheTainted .
AI will NEVER be capable of being half as wonderful.

To help you wake up this morning - here’s #cruinniunanag Creative Ireland & RTÉ
