‘The Terrible Thing That Happened To Barnaby Brocket’ by John Boyne

A book for teenagers. A good little read. It’s about an 8-year-old boy, Barnaby Brocket, who defies the law of gravity and floats.

His parents are obsessed with the normal, and Barnaby is far from normal in their eyes.

An uplifting celebration of otherness.

It was raining when I got in from school, so it was a quick treadmill run: 3.2 miles.

Today’s ’what I was listening to during exercise’ was Grace Petrie’s 2021 album ‘Connectivity’.

Great album. Some favourite tracks include: ‘Romance Addict’, ‘Technicolor’, and my favourite ‘IKEA’.
