Tag: memorable

  • Cover of The Husbands by Holly Gramazio, with tagline 'you wait ages for The One... then 203 come along at once'. Five-colour poster art shows a woman wearing a sleeveless top, long skirt, and trainers using a hand saw to cut through a ladder which stretches up through the title and at the top of which we can just make out the trousered legs of a man, climbing past a pendant light.

    The Husbands by Holly Gramazio

    One of the best books I've read so far this year (although my review is about three months late!) was Holly Gramazio's debut novel, The Husbands. A proper page-turner that keeps you engaged through all of its twists and turns, I can't recommend it strongly enough.

    Three(ish) Weeks In Spain

    With exceptions for those of us who had work to do at the start or end, my family and I just spent three weeks hopping around the East of Spain, featuring surfing, a theme park, exploring, dodging the heat, and - of course - a total solar eclipse.

    "You saved my life!" (or: how my kids briefly thought I was a superhero)

    A misunderstanding by my kids this weekend briefly made them think that I'd pulled a stranger from a burning building... when in reality I only lent him a mobile phone charger.

    Your 'App' Could Have Been a Webpage (so I fixed it for you...)

    I was asked to install a mobile app to get access to the itinerary of a trip to Disneyland I'm taking with the kids. Fuck that noise: couldn't it have just been a Web page? An hour of reverse-engineering later, it is, and it's superior in virtually every way to the "app" that it replaces.

    What a beautiful spot for a geocache, which the geopup and I quickly found in the second host we checked. Then, we enjoyed a delightful few minutes of peace, sitting on the riverbank, before continuing our morning's adventure.
