I got a DM from someone criticising me for only writing positive reviews. Let me say I read stuff I don’t like, we all do, but no one needs to hear me trash someone’s hard work. If I don’t like it I keep quiet and move on. I blog to share my love of books, thanks all the same.

Today a woman shouted across the carpal to me in Sainsburys - ‘That dress is amazing!!’
Not a stealth boast - believe me I am no trend setter - just an acknowledgement that this lady made my day!

So dog was spayed last week but obviously too late to avoid another phantom pregnancy.
The litter this time around is one raggy pheasant, one pink pig, a reindeer, a parsnip and a random spiky ball.
All available to good homes in around 10 weeks.

Ever since Twitter changed no matter what I do I can’t seem to see the people I used to connect with.

Without a pause she folds it into an

And adds it to the chorus, perched on her desk. All silently singing her on.

We brought our flowers
Our lights, our hope
We brought our stories
We brought tears falling
Silently.
Tears of our mothers
Grandmothers
Tears of generations.
In love, in peace, in pain
We stood,masked
Respectful
And asked for change.
Your answer?
Simply more.
More.Of.The.Same.

She finds it in the shower one day. A small loose thread, dangling just behind her ear.
She runs her fingers over it and then snatches them away.
But now she is haunted. Haunted by the fact that she knows the point of her

Having published a book this year, I know how hard it is to get sales and reviews.
But funnily enough publicly attacking a blogger has never struck me as a particularly sound marketing strategy.
(and then compounding it by referring to their followers and friends as minions???)

Finding it very hard to feel anything but venom towards the anti restriction protestors. Yesterday I had to lock myself away in my office and watch a dear friends funeral online. The longer we ignore the rules, the more we miss out.

is the pebble, you keep in your pocket. The one you hold on the bus, in the rain, in the queue.
That you picked from the beach when no one was looking.
Because its size, shape and colour spoke softly. And only to you.

Boy dropped off in that there London.
Emotional doesn’t quite hit the mark but comfort comes in strange places.
Today it was the mint imperial delivered with our lunch bill.
Felt like my lovely long dead Grandad was reaching through the years and telling me the boy will be ok.

There was a golden patch in the 1990’s . My texts were The Woman in Black, To Kill a Mockingbird, I know why the caged bird sings. And the Gove came along with him British Lit for British People and stuffed it all up again!!

I got up at 6.30am this morning and I wrote a 100 word flash. I am in love with it . And even if no one else ever reads it, it has already brought me a morning of joy.
It has taken me a long time to realise the writing is worthwhile even if it’s never published.

Tonight I just sat down and realised how utterly utterly tired I was. Of the relentlessness, the uncertainty. Tomorrow night my big boys will be home and I want to pull up the drawbridge and maybe have a little weep.
