Friday 11th July 2025, 5.20pm. Outdoor temp - 46°C.Indoor temp - 26.6°C. Twenty degrees difference! .It's not accurate of course—the outdoor sensor is in full sun—but fun to see. It is hot out there, however. Time for a cold beer. 🍺 .#heatwave

This week I'm reading Haruki #Murakami's surreal The Wind-Up Bird Chronicle. I've never read anything like it. Amazing imagination. Engaging writing style. It's hard to put down. I'll be looking out for more of his work.

Got a cool idea for a novel? That’s your concept. But unless you turn it into a premise, you might end up like Chuck Wendig’s old man lost at the mall—eating fries, forgetting your car. Let’s fix that. A thread 🧵🪓. #writingcommunity

Here's me with a Stoats blueberry oat bar, my fave snack to keep me going while delivering mail. Reminds me of Mum's flapjacks. @Stoats, #eatstoats #postie

Hello, @sainsburys. I recently purchased a box of 6 extra-large eggs. Every egg had a double yolk!. Sunday: bacon and egg breakfast (see photo). Monday: Egg-fried rice. Tuesday, it was egg-fried rice again. I'm curious: how common are #DoubleYolkers in the same box?
