Piers

@pierscooper.bsky.social

HM King Piers of Peterborough, Emperor of East Anglia. An original piece by the author. I like secateurs. Cats, woodwork, metalwork, gardening and whimsy. If you don’t create, you can only consume. Nominally editor of Complete Car Builder magazine.

I’m in bed and the window is open to cool things down. I’ll have to close it before I sleep or I’ll get eaten alive. Sleep tight, little fishes. N’night.

I’ve killed all my dating operations. I just wasn’t feeling it and I’m not in the right place right now. I was just meeting women that I didn’t really fancy, having long conversations about nothing at all really, and then leaving feeling like I’d missed something. Where is the excitement? None.

This year's Edinburgh International Book Festival kicks off shortly and for the first time ever Orkney Library & Archive is delighted to be holding several FREE events where you can come along to the library and watch LIVE STREAMS of the events as they happen! 🎉

My arms are slick and wet and for the first time in months that’s not sweat. Rain. Proper rain. It won’t last, but for the few minutes it is here, bliss.

I’ve a free day today, no responsibilities and nothing planned. I might pack up and go for a long walk. It feels like it’s been too long. And strangely, I think I know just the walk I want to do.
