FiiO JM21 Digital Audio Player showing onscreen image of 'All Too Well (10 Minute Version)' by Taylor Swift

Got me a new Digital Audio Player so I can listen to music properly and without any interruptions

(it's a FiiO JM21 which is rather like a modern version of the iPod Touch) #DigitalAudioPlayer #DAP #FiiOJM21

Oh my goodness Doctor Who!! I’m loving this season so far!

(Just watched ‘The Interstellar Song Contest’ with Ncuti Gatwa & Varada Sethu)

‘The Harry Styles Effect’ by Keris Fox - hardback book

My copy of ‘The Harry Styles Effect’ by @keris.bsky.social has just arrived. Yay!! #harrystyles

The restored Season 7 looks fab on Blu-ray and I loved your bits on ‘Behind the Sofa’ with Geoffrey Beevers and Daisy Ashford xx

I don’t think there was an 80s ‘Running Through Corridors’ book, sadly

Running Through Corridors: Rob and Toby’s Marathon Watch of Doctor Who (Vol. 2: The 70s) NOTE: This book retails for $29.95, but is available for $24.95 through the Mad Norwegian website (click the Add to Cart button to purchase), shipping included.    Foreword by Louise […]

Thank you @tobyhadoke.bsky.social and @robertshearman.bsky.social
for your ‘Running Through Corridors Vol 2: The 70s’ book. I am very much enjoying reading it while I watch #DoctorWho seasons 7-10 on Blu-ray #JonPertwee #DoctorWhoTheCollection

‘Doctor Who: The Collection’ Blu ray box sets for seasons 7, 8, 9 and 10 starring Jon Pertwee as the Doctor (artwork by @leebinding.bsky.social )

I am really enjoying watching season 7 of ‘Doctor Who’ (first broadcast in 1970) with Jon Pertwee as the Doctor & Caroline John as Liz Shaw. So I have decided to keep going through the other seasons! #DoctorWho #ClassicDoctorWho #DrWho #JonPertwee #DoctorWhoTheCollection #season7

Random eejits get everywhere!! PS My favourite new track Tidal told me about today is 'Maria Carey Through Death Valley' by Blossoms.

I also like buying music directly from artists, especially when I have opportunities to purchase stuff at gigs. I also use indies and Bandcamp. Usually buy CDs rather than vinyl, partly due to cost but mostly due to lack of storage space!

Enjoy your out of office time. PS This version of the Tardis always makes me think of custard creams 😋

BorrowBox – Your library in one app. Borrow eBooks and eAudiobooks free from your library using the BorrowBox app. Say hello to your future library, wherever you are, whenever you are free.

And I use BorrowBox to access library ebooks, magazines, newspapers and audiobooks www.borrowbox.com

I buy ebooks and audiobooks from Kobo www.kobo.com/gb/en

I use Tidal too. It's mostly awesome and I really like being able to check full credits of the singers, songwriters, musicians and producers.

I'm patiently waiting in the hope that they will release a box set of seasons one and two plus the finale. I prefer to buy all my shiny discs from HMV (or second hand)

Even free trials can be dangerous cos they won't let you sign up without giving payment details and then it's quite hard to avoid paying once the free trial has ended. I got suckered into a free trial of amazon music when I bought new earbuds and then had to persuade my bank to cancel payment!

I found it hard to resist watching Good Omens on prime, but I'm hoping this will become available on shiny discs for me to watch at some point, even if that means some dosh ends up in disreputable pockets...

Never actually had prime so the auto renewal never got me. Used to have audible but I cancelled when it became part of Amazon. Also stopped using Goodreads and now use TheStoryGraph. AWS is hardest to avoid completely because it has tentacles everywhere…

Thanks for reminding me to be more vocal about the #AmazonBoycott - I said lots about this in the past but it seems to be worth trying to encourage more people to join in now

#BoycottAmazon not just for a day but for as long as you can

Boycott Amazon | Ethical Consumer Ethical Consumer has been campaigning for a boycott of Amazon since 2012, particularly because of Amazon's tax avoidance. But the list of reasons to avoid Amazon extends beyond tax, and includes its s...

I have been avoiding Amazon since 2013. It may not have much impact on Amazon but it still feels better to me and hopefully means my money is helping support other businesses, including local businesses where possible. www.ethicalconsumer.org/ethicalcampa...

‘National Theatre Live: The Importance of Being Earnest’ - interval countdown on screen.

‘National Theatre Live: The Importance of Being Earnest’ is really rather fabulous. Go see it if you haven’t already.

Birmingham Botanical Gardens | Birmingham Botanical Gardens Birmingham Botanical Gardens is one of the UK’s most significant historic botanic gardens which has remarkably remained intact since 1829.

The Birmingham Botanical Gardens are worth a visit too and there is a decent cafe (not quite in the city centre though) birminghambotanicalgardens.org.uk

Hope you have a lovely time xx

Tearoom | Birmingham Museum & Art Gallery | Birmingham Museums The beautiful tearoom offers a range of delicious food and beverages in a unique and historic setting. It’s the perfect spot to meet up with friends or fam
