Work in IT but also write historical novels. #1 bestseller debut published by Harper Collins - https://amzn.eu/d/ceHuLT7 London Irish. You can take the girl out of Cricklewood but you can't etc
This post amused me well enough in and of itself but there’s optometrists and costumers getting involved and medieval cow expertise going on too.
Deidre Lynch@drbibliomane.bsky.social · yesterdayYou can/should read Emily Wilson's latest take on the Odyssey, but I'm logging on to convey my hairdresser's reaction. She was AGHAST that Nolan, with his million $ budget, gave Matt Damon ONLY 6 hair extensions. As a result, his hair did not blow around properly, & that ruined the film for her.
@quarkquent.bsky.social No idea what happened here but you got unfollowed! I didn't unfollow you so I assume it was the cat.
Oh well thank goodness for that. I've finally received my copyedit. The editor loved it and hopes there's a third. Yay! Was asked for two initially so fingers crossed. Hopefully I don't have to do an Alan Partridge and dance around in leather pants asking for another series. No one wants that.
Born and bred in Cricklewood so this was very well received at the time. I did wonder if the programme had dated badly until I a few years ago when I watched my son convulsed in laughter at the episode where the Goodies open a medieval theme park.
Absolute Beginner@leaderofthesect.bsky.social · last wk.Unexpectedly hugely sad to hear Bill Oddie has died. A brilliant songwriter, this one is a psychpop gem, shades of The Move and the Manfredd’s Up The Junction and catchy as hell. youtu.be/xYVBnizAwEE?...
Zoe Williams allow someone else to make their point before aggressively talking over them challenge. Sky should stop inviting her back. She never stops interrupting. It absolutely ruins the programme.
Apparantly my editor is returning my manuscript by the end of this month with her comments. Reader, I am quietly shitting myself in anticipation.

All I’m seeing is the superdrug logo when they highlight the players. 3 for 2 on hairspray.
Power cut here in kings worthy which won’t be fixed til 4am* and wishing I had a solar battery. However, I’m old enough to remember the blackouts of the 70s so just need my brother to turn up so we can see which one of us can hold our finger over a candle for the longest. *peers at freezer
That speech didn't really do it for me, tbh. Also, does Jon Craig really not know who New Order are? He's been around since the 80s what's up with him?
One of the rare moments of job satisfaction in my day is hearing a developer say "oh, ffs" at something I've done. I am a software test engineer so this is a good thing from my perspective (and theirs, tbf). It's just happened. Twice. Swanning around now like Mrs Smug.

Hmm, just looked up the guy who scored. Is every football team full of miscreants? Portugal, Japan and now Norway.
