I was thinking about scheduling a bunch of #OnThisDay in Salisbury and Stonehenge tweets… and it looks like you can do this with the Twitter API

Will probably take me several months to work out how to use it though

Edith Olivier reputedly saw the Bishops' Birds at the time of his death books.google.co.uk/books

#OnThisDay in 1911 Bishop of Salisbury John Wordsworth died.

He founded the school and donated the Bishop Walk to the city. He was the great nephew of the poet.

#OnThisDay in 2005, Madonna showed up at A & E at Salisbury District Hospital. She’d fallen off a horse.

The podcast also has a discussion of recent thrillers, and this list of thrillers by country…which would be handy if you’re off on holiday and want to scare yourself silly before you go

I enjoyed the detail that if the pre-obituary writer was going to check some detail with the subject of the obituary, they would say it was ‘for your biographical file’

They showed us just one of the articles

Really good @nytimesbooks podcast with @margalitfox discussing Arthur Conan Doyle’s involvement in the case of Arthur Slater who did 18 years hard labour for a crime he didn’t do
