Today's theme is & my work of /#memoir, , is brimful of ' extraordinary physiology.

Look at those ! Endowed with around 10 times the number of nerve endings as those of many land animals, they help grey seals navigate & locate food. They also have a wavy shape, bulging at intervals along their length like broad beans in a pod, enabling seals to detect fish up to 100 ms away.

The Philosophy of Libraries

I've had Packing My Library on my To Read pile for a while, but the reading challenge gave me the impetus to pick it up.

I loved 's perspective on libraries, literature and reading. I relished the way he allowed his thoughts to wander off on certain topics, and the way these apparently disparate digressions all threaded together into a coherent whole.

Today's theme is . Heather Durham's Wolf Tree, an ecopsychological memoir in essays, explores belonging & the relationship between the human & more-than-human. Lyrical & structurally-inventive.

As well as focusing on my travels to sites around the UK coast, my own includes a parallel journey - my father's experience of & how we've both gradually (& not always graciously) adjusted.

This is my cliff top perch, high above the grey seal pupping beach that's close to my home in Pembrokeshire.

Over the years, I've spent so many hours and days watching grey seals give birth, suckle, mate and moult from this amazing spot. And so much of this research found its way into the pages of my new book, 'Where the Seals Sing'.
