A great evening!

My first time at Strange Brew Bristol yesterday to see marvellous @theagilmore.bsky.social supported by @penfriendrocks.bsky.social who it was lovely to meet in person after I have followed her for ages 😀

My top podcast.

Have you ever thought you might be doing everything in your life wrong? My new song 4000 Weeks is inspired partly by the book, but mostly by @ifbookspod.bsky.social and the feeling that self-help books are making me insane. @michaelhobbes.bsky.social @notalawyer.bsky.social #selfhelp #4000weeks

For #WorldQuantumDay here's why you can't read my new book (if you're in the UK).

Here are my daughter and her friend warming up after we ate at the weirdly dark and cold branch of Giraffe on the South Bank. Not going there again. But The Importance of Being Earnest at the National Theatre was delightful.

Came here to say this.

This looks so great! Is there an audiobook?

I appreciate The Guardian reading its articles out but the pronunciation is still skewy. It never learned 'Coronaveeirus' and now it's offering 'Timothay Chalamette'.

Oh, thank you for listening! 😊

The book looks wonderful.

True Crime podcasts are just a terrible idea and I will never listen to one. If a podcast I like recommends one to me, I think much less of it.

The bubble they live in is very real 😄

YES!!!!!! Ah I'm glad you saw it and wrote about it!

😆

At Chatsworth I saw an artwork that seemed to me to be explaining why, genetically, the family deserved wealth and privilege.

If someone offered me Blenheim Palace it would be a definite no. I think it's super ugly and the only good thing it's done is have the Ai Weiwei exhibition a few years ago.

And running up hills.

Also, since I sent in work to a deadline yesterday and got the editor's out of office message, I am going to spend more time in 2025 in two separate states: rest and leisure.

Also (note to self), spend time not listening to anything so you can hear your own thoughts. Default mode network.

Nice surprise to hear my new song Holloway on BBC Music Introducing, thanks @davegilyeat.bsky.social 😊

Six books I read this year that were influential or overdue.

Out today: "Holloway" by Rebecca Mileham. Review at: hotmusiclive.co.uk/MAGAZINE/mag... @rmmileham.bsky.social

I presume you are wearing red trousers.

Quantum Physics: my new book is about the mind-bending science that's changing how we understand space, time, matter and reality | Rebecca Mileham From light and matter to time and space... in the last 100 years, there has been a revolution in the way physicists understand almost everything. Why? Well, ...

An absolute joy to see @philipjpratt.bsky.social today and hand him a copy of my new book #QuantumPhysics in which he has had such an important checking and encouraging role 😀

That is a good point.

David Lynch describes going to to Bob’s Big Boy to drink vast sums of coffee and chocolate milkshakes

Picked up this little book of writers’ writing rituals, & I think most of em are liars — “up at dawn, 6 hours at my desk, followed by calisthenics, liquor, & reading edifying works.” But David Lynch delivers the goods.
