Watched the first episode of #TedLasso season 4. I’m sure it will cheer up but I spent half of it wanting to slap the people in his life. Nice to see Trent Crimm is still getting work though.

I’m writing upstairs in the library and all I can hear from downstairs is about 20 kids loudly waiting to have their reading challenge cards stamped, or grabbing books and shouting to their parents. It’s bloody wonderful! This is what libraries are for. 😍 #librariesmatter #libraries
First writing day (yesterday) was taken up with house moving uncle’s stuff. Today has so far involved sorting out car appointments. 😭 #writing #authors #summerholiday
Brilliant letter from Stuart Thompson to Jeremy Clarkson about his comments that benefit claimants should write weekly thank you letters to tax payers detailing how they spend their benefits each week.
It’s out now in ebook so ignore the bit about 2 weeks to go. That’s only print. Anyway heres a short excerpt elisabethhobbes.co.uk/2026/07/14/a... #books #historicalfiction #reading #mondaymood

I saw the naughtiest gull at Morecambe today. It calmly landed on a cafe table, tipped a milk jug over onto the table and floor, tried some leftover coffee then tried to pick up the whole coffee mug with its beak. The world doesn’t need caffeinated seagulls. #seagulls #beach

Important consultation for any #authors who don’t want to have to do a monthly tax submission.
Tits McGee@scientits.bsky.social · 4d agoReminder - this consultation closes on Tues 4th August! It's really important as many freelance/self-employed folk submit a response as possible I've just done mine - took about 2 hours as I did have a think about my comments (changing them from 'you stupid idiots' to something more palatable)
We’re driving home from camping and all the warning lights have come on in the car. 😭 Hoping to get home and unload the dogs before o/h has to go drop the caravan off. #cars

Woke up with a wet pillow because it rained in the night and the seal on the caravan leaked. 😭 #camping

In The Laudanum Ladies’ Society I ramped up how awful the lives were for women caught up in the underbelly of the city. So much that this was one of my reviews (which I’m taking as a good thing). 😉

Do you have what it takes to join the Laudanum Ladies' Society? Type 'My secret tincture contains laudanum and...' then let your phone do the rest. (The author claims no responsibility for anyone making and sampling the resulting mix!) #fridayfun #predictivetext #historicalfiction #books #reading
Ok, I'm going to do a bit of trumpet blowing (or perhaps a Swanee whistle). The first reviews are in for The Laudanum Ladies' Society and they're pretty good. It's always a relief when they aren't dreadful so I can sleep easy. mybook.to/LaudanumLadiesSoc #books #relief #bookreviews
The Book of Dog. Ch7 v1-3. And lo, they were fooled into eating the worming tablets because the chorizo was so tasty. But they gave a baleful eye upon their mother. And cheese was demanded. #dogs
It’s the school holidays and I’ve got a book out this week. Not that I need a reason but even so. 🍸 Passion fruit spritzer btw. #cocktails #daytimedrinking #thursdaymood
