    I like Richard Ayoade. I find him very funny. He seems like a really nice guy. And I have no doubt that his first children’s book is excellent. But I’ve written about 45 children’s books and I’ve never once been invited onto The One Show.

    There are two types of people. Firstly, those who believe that libraries are an essential and integral part of a community and that everyone should have free access to books and information. And secondly, those who are wrong.

    Being diagnosed with prostate cancer, at the end of 2020, felt like the crappiest cherry on the worst cake ever. But then there are days like this.

    Reckon I probably lose a couple of followers, each time I post a photo or video of my dog. Well guess what? I literally don’t care. He makes me happy.

    Whereabouts are you, in the book you’re reading? I’m currently in 18th century Switzerland.

    Appointment with oncologist today. And, well...looks like you’ll have to put up with my feeble jokes and dog pics for a good while yet. Sorry about that.

    I get it. I’ve listened. And I’ve reversed my decision to stop posting so many photos of my dog. Here is a photo of my dog.

    Saw that #GrangeHillSausage was trending and feared the wurst.

    Posting this photo of me and my mum again because she would have been 96 today and I still miss her.

    I'd like to thank the drivers of every single mobile library van, that came to the villages where I lived, as a child. I can smell them now. The vans, not the drivers #ThankALibraryWorker
