The Suspicions of Mr Whicher

I've watched two of these shows, and started one of the books. Really like them.

What the folks who let this guy into their lives don't realize is how far he gets up into your business. 😆

You turn your back for a second and he's going through your nightstand dragging out the family skeletons 🩻

Favorite thing lately is finding an article I wish were in podcast form, saving the text to a .txt file, then having TTS Util use RH Voice to convert the file into an audio reading, and listen to my own little robotic FOSS nanny read me the stories I want to hear in my headphones as I do yardwork.

I just finished this audibook, “Politics On The Edge”, read by the author Rory Stewart.
An excellently written account of life in politics - and I can highly recommend listening to the audiobook as Rory is an entertaining reader.
If he had become PM rather than Johnson, the UK would be a different and (most likely) a better place. Intelligence, a moral compass, humility plus a sense of humour are rare attributes amongst politicians.

Hand Basket

My current audiobook is making me feel like an immature child and it is giving me the giggles.

I am listening to Recursion by Blake Crouch. I’m about 2/3 of the way through and I am really digging it. I keep thinking I know where it’s going and then it curves off to someplace totally unexpected. That’s not what this post is about though.

This post is about how I am a nine year old goofball. One of the characters is named Helena. Every time one of the two readers says the character’s name I insert the words hand basket immediately after it.

Helena (hand basket) said hello.

Helena (hand basket) did something.

Every time I do it I feel like I am going to giggle. What a goof. Sometimes I think that I am going to stop it and I do… briefly. I stop inserting hand basket but instead I insert the word bucket.

Helena (bucket) walked down the hall.

Helena (bucket) opened the door.

Yeah, I am a child. A goofy, lame, immature child.

I've been listening to "Life as No One Knows It: The Physics of Life's Emergence" by Sara Imari Walker on my daily walks now and I'm finding it very inspiring.

I had not really thought properly about how you could use human creations as a proof for consciousness and that leads to so many other thoughts about the subject... Minds are amazing and it does make sense that they are kind of the source of everything from buildings to tools to art etc. :blobaww:

Apparently, more than one third of Perlego users prefer audio, so this could be hugely popular if it delivers as well as they suggest.

Good night! #3GoodThings
1. Finished that chapter in Braille and decided on a Kindle book to listen to using Kindle Assistive Reader.
2. Achieved all my fitness goals today and feel good about it. Who knew a smart watch could be such a motivator?
3. Hubs and I finished another audio book. Look in the Mirror by Catherine Steadman. Not the best audio book we’ve listened to but definitely interesting.
Sleep well and may your dreams be out of this world. 🤗🫶❤️🫂 #GoodNight #Braille #Fitness #AudioBooks

🖤 My novel GODHUNTER will be available in audio starting on April 8th, narrated by Marnye Young. I’m so excited to share this trailer with everyone!

🖤 If you’re interested, the universal book link in my profile lists some of the marketplaces where you can order it, but I couldn’t get them all up. When in doubt, please try a search! I hope it will be available in libraries too.

Good morning! Wishing you all a marvelous Monday filled with only good things, high energy and positivity. Sitting here this morning drinking coffee and reading. I’m determined to finish this chapter today. I finished Primal Mirror yesterday so have to decide on another audio book to listen to while doing chores.

Be kind to yourself and those around you, hug tight those you love most and smile, this world needs those beautiful smiles. 🤗🫶❤️🫂 #GoodMorning #Positivity #Braille #AudioBooks
