People and sites I like
- James A. Reeves: A new discovery this year and now a firm favourite site that I look forward to new updates on.
- Jamie Tanna: An acquaintance from Nottingham. He runs a Home Brew Website meetup and frequently has good opinions. You can blame him for my writing of week notes. ;)
- M John Harrison: The Ambiente Hotel is Mike Harrison’s venue for publicity and publishing his prose experiments. He’s one of my favorite writers.
- Paul Graham Raven: An acquaintance from back in the days I used to attend science fiction conventions. Still one of the few people I know who blogs regularly. A proper inspiration.
- Tim Maughan: A writer of near future fiction and journalist.
- The Killing Bottle: An Analysis of M. John Harrison’s Viriconium Stories: I discovered this in early 2021, and I have saved it as a PDF and kept it open in a tab. Utterly essential reading.
Things and Places that I like
- Bonobo: A vegan cafe and shop in Aberdeen. Extremely filling.
- Cult of Coffee: A spciality coffee place in Aberdeen. This is where I buy my coffee beans from. I go here weekly.
- Cairn Coffee: A small horsebox on the sea front at Aberdeen. They do batch brew and are a frequent stop of mine on my Sunday long runs.
- Social Climbing: An excellent bouldering wall in Leicester.
