We weren’t initially aware of the great view of Brookmill Park, at Monday’s 📖 event at the wonderful The Brookmill, Deptford, with @cornish_jack , @TheStreetTree and John Gray.
Do you know the one tree 🌳 mentioned there by Paul Wood (he knows his trees!)?

Rumour has it one or two celebraties will be attending but we wonder who?
And to note, Paul Wood, has always been Paul Wood. He didn’t change his name

Ah. This film came out this week, an interview with Natasha Brown, filmed in the bookshop. There are lovely shots 🎥 of the bookshop and we think, Under the Covers, have used the light that floods in the afternoon really well! Natasha is great as always!

'Character and voice carry the story. Humour is dry, violence sudden, tension simmering.'
Justin Warshaw on a crime writer who offered ‘gritty, realistic portrayals of American lowlife’

What brilliant news - we love an indie bookshop here. What’s your favourite indie? And is it a plucky newcomer or a longstanding favourite?
Indie booksellers: if I’m doing a tour date near your shop, please let me know and I’ll come in and sign books if you want me to!

The BBC presenter asks, how is Al Jazeera able to operate in Gaza when the BBC can't get in.
There was (and is) nothing stopping BBC News from directly employing Palestinian journalists in Gaza so they can report from the strip as BBC correspondents, just like Al Jazeera does.

I got fed up with the state of the UK small arms debate and put an essay together. Unfortunately I had to publish it on the hellsite that is Linkedin.
