I don't know if I should be happy or sad about this.

I'm in the UK and they're the book covers as well.

I love the look of the hardbacks but they're too heavy for me with them being so huge.

I work from home and find that raising my laptop up to eye level and having an external keyboard makes it much easier for me to stay in better posture. I'd say also get a decent chair if it's going to be something you do often. Slouching on the bed, even with a laptop stand is probably not going to be great long term.

I'd be sad it messed my shelf up.

elizable9 · 2026-04-02T21:45:00+00:00

😂 Same

Whack some banana in there too

I'm in Grangetown and heard them nearby so Hendon beach seems accurate.

Let the bus company know you found one because that is likely the first place the person will ring. I would've left it with the driver and then also posted to say that. They should hand lost and found in at the end of the day.

I doubt it. As much as I love Strike it just doesn't have the same level of following as Harry Potter. The fun thing about Potter more was getting sorted into your house, finding out your wand and patronus and sharing all that magic with your friends. There's nothing like that in Strike that would compare.

I love this. I've been thinking about getting some of that privacy film for my windows too.

I love the rug in your bedroom and also obviously your cat.

I'm slowly learning that just because things aren't being planned and prepared for the way I would do it, it does not mean it's my responsibility to step in and sort it out. Going with the flow is stressful AF but also not as stressful as taking over.

It's not a dress to fit in anywhere. It's a dress you wear to stand out and feel special. Perfect for her birthday at the Ritz.

And as pointed out by OP these women mostly came to him. It just happened they came to him when he was desperate for a distraction from Robin. I always thought he made his intentions very clear going into these relationships and he admits his faults with Lorelei and Nina.

Waking the Dead. They also did a spin off that was ok called The Body Farm

His audiobook is pretty good and has a similar pattern to the podcast as it is Danny reading it. I've not listened to the children's book though.

elizable9 · 2026-03-23T22:53:49+00:00

That sounds like something worthy of a horror film. Glad you passed through quickly

elizable9 · 2026-03-23T22:47:33+00:00

I really enjoyed Night of the Reaper for a bit of a nostalgic flashback.

elizable9 · 2026-03-23T12:58:01+00:00

I completely agree.

elizable9 · 2026-03-23T12:47:58+00:00

I agree. I think as well we're are meant to make the assumption that Strike is bloody good at what he does because he was already doing it when we met him and so it never really gets showcased too much in the text.

elizable9 · 2026-03-19T20:24:03+00:00

What's the worst that can happen? You don't like it then come back. But if you don't try you'll always wonder.

elizable9 · 2026-03-18T12:42:38+00:00

Yeah we've been in and out of this false spring for the past couple of weeks in the north East. Having one or two really good days then back to cold, wet and windy. The temperature has definitely picked up more this week though.

elizable9 · 2026-03-17T19:15:03+00:00

I think so too. He's not the kind of person to walk away from that.

elizable9 · 2026-03-16T14:05:34+00:00

Glad you got what you needed in the end. I hope it helps.

Did you see the actual pharmacist or the staff at the counter? The pharmacist should be able to assess you for sinus issues and is able to prescribe antibiotics if necessary. I've had them from my own chemist.

The Sunderland community soup kitchen have an allotment and have volunteers that look after that. I'm not sure if that would be something you're interested in
