Thank you for this, Clancy. I gotta get you a sluice box, because you are out here panning for gold on Substack. Thank you for taking the time to bring us the best that's out there.

Another great roundup that I sadly likely won't get to fully appreciate at the moment.

Also, apologies for the blue skies. We're having an extended and very uncharacteristically stable summer in Melbourne. It'll crash soon and we'll descend into cold and rain, and then it'll be your turn up there.

thanks Nathan, enjoy at your leisure. you know what, you're right, it's so close to spring here I might as well keep the world right-side-up for now!

Good plan.

Also, I forgot to say that I only recently (well, maybe couple of years ago) found out the word bothy. If you're into spooky stuff, there's a great BBC podcast called Uncanny that has lots of firsthand accounts from people in the UK and one of the best was of a guy hiking in Scotland who went to visit a bothy.

Thanks for the shoutout Clancy, always appreciate it.

I’m really hoping to post more fiction here in the coming months. I just finished the first draft of a short novel so most of my fiction juices were being spent on that rather than posting here.

And regardless of what the losers in office are doing, you and I will always be cool!

Sounds like some solid recommendations. It's so cool to find other writers on here. Nice post, Clancy.
