I'm in Gdansk. It's beautiful. I'm very happy.

Fat Bear Week has a new champion!! ❤️ And whilst I am sad Chunk didn't win, I do feel that Backpack (below) is an excellent chonky, worthy winner 😍

Just some of the many reasons why women will always choose the bear...

It's a tweet from the U.S Department of the Interiors that lists characteristics (built like a refrigerator/always fishing with the boys/living in a waterfront home etc) and the days that's not your man, that's a fat bear week contender ❤️

Our youngest daughter turned six yesterday, so she got a new fluffy bed and foxy cuddle buddy 😍😍

It's a dog!! An adorable jackawawa (mix of jack Russell and chihuahua) she's white and tan and adorable and is cuddling an orange fox toy.

I don't feel that Fat Bear Week is getting enough love on here. It's simple and satisfying - you get to look at fat bears and then vote for your favourite chonky, furry fella (or lady, no discrimination here) It makes me happy and it will make you happy too 😍 #fatbearweek

A fat brown bear with a wonky jaw. His name is Chunk and he is the reigning Fat Bear champion and even with a broken jaw he has put on enough chonk to probably win this year too. He would eat me if he saw me and I would probably let him; he's a chonky boy, he needs the calories.

Finding the photos your daughter took when she stole your phone seven years ago is one of life's unspoken joys ❤️

Puppy sitting is the best kind of sitting 😍

I'm Fine by @richardhwrote.bsky.social is out today. I got to read a proof and I'm quoted for it because I absolutely adored this book - charming, engaging, funny, sad and surprising in all the best ways ❤️ And a story that deserves to be told. I cannot recommend it highly enough. Buy it please...😊

ISABELLA'S NOT DEAD - by @bethmorrey.bsky.social is out TODAY! I loved it ❤️ It's so funny and clever and charming and captivating that I was both thrilled to have read it and devastated it was over by the end. I cannot recommend it highly enough. Buy it, love it, thank me later ❤️

This seems INSANE! That's 27 core cast members. Even if they all only get six minutes of lead character screen time that's a three hour film....

Thought that maybe I hadn't made enough icing for my carrot cake...I was wrong 😬

A delicious carrot cake with FAR too much icing. Literally you could drown in the icing on this cake...or give yourself a mini cardiac arrest by eating it...which I did. Worth it.

Turns out @edgarwright.bsky.social doesn't need to remake The Running Man because America is already living it ☹️ I hope it's a joke. I fear it isn't.

Was bemoaning to a fellow writer about how cold I get when I am writing at my desk all day and they said they use an electric blanket and I said that was genius and ... LOOK WHAT I JUST GOT FOR MOTHER'S DAY!! ❤️❤️

So this chap is never having sex again...

A screen grab of a Humans of New York story about a young man who basically hates women after he's had sex with them. It's pretty disturbing. Find it and read it.

I'm sorry but she's a robot, right? Right?!

A screenshot of an article from the Independent where the mother of Musk's 13 child says she was told to keep it a secret. Musk looks like his normal nazi, hair-plugged self and the mother looks like a robot. Seriously.

Just looked up the word 'goon' on the online thesaurus and these are the use-it-in-a-sentence examples currently available ... Absolute stunning work from thesaurus.com #smallwins

A photo of a web page from thesaurus.com. The page shows sentence examples for the word 'goon'. Each one of the sentences is about Musk or Trump's goons. For example - "you'll see more mexican flags at more protests against trump and his immigration goon squad in the following weeks ..."
It is genius work.

Jesus Christ @travelzoo.bsky.social We're barely 5 days into the longest month in existence, no one has any money so all the kids are eating freezer potluck for dinner & you're suggesting we go stay in a (does sums) £786 a night hotel because it is reduced to £459?!! READ THE ROOM!! #travelzootop20

It's okay everyone. You can stop trying now. Pickle has taken the cutest Christmas puppy photo EVER 😍😍😍😍

Dear Monsoon. Why in the name of all things adorable, Christmassy and fashionable have you only made this coat in child sizes?? I want this coat. For me. A fully grown adult. Please.

A dark blue coat with a big fur collar, gold pockets and gold stripes on the sleeves. It sounds disgusting but it is a great coat and would look fabulous on Bethany. Hence the accompanying message.

This is what happens if you make homemade croutons out of stale bread but then forget to eat those croutons and leave them in the cupboard for a week. Just in case anyone is wondering.

The BEST positive post is BOOK POST!! I'm bloody thrilled to have managed to get my hands on a proof of @kitconwayauthor.bsky.social debut thriller CAT FIGHT. I adore her writing & know that this is going to be a thrilling, spine-tingling, feline-fest! PS Pickle's not as much of a cat fan as me! 😁

Positive post - Christmas has arrived at our house and the 8YO has spent the afternoon making her room full of Christmas spirit - she even has her own doormat! 😍

Picture of a bedroom door. A silver tinsel wreath is hung on the door and there is a doormat in front of it that shows 3 snow father Christmas. There is a hand made sign in the door which reads - Christmas spirit. Please wipe shoes and knock. Thank you.

Positive post - CAKE!! There is a bakery near my mum and dad's that bakes THE best fresh cakes every day and sells them at a steal (this lot was less than £3) If I go to ma and pa's and DON'T go to the cake shop Pete and the kids don't let me back in the house 😬 We love cake ❤️🍰

A plate with the cakes on it - a Belgium bun, Viennese finger and London cheesecake (how European!) THE CAKES LOOK DELICIOUS!!

Positive post - Back at my parent's for the night and - although the clutter freaks me out - there is something wonderful about the physical photos that crowd the rooms. I am surrounded by the past, present and future of my family and it gives me pride for our legacy and hope for our future ❤️

A sideboard crowded with photos of children of various ages, plus a carriage clock, candles and a vase of pink lilies. There is love and pride and happiness here ❣️

Positive post - This is my photo wall. It's beside the desk where I write and is full of people I love and times that have made me happy. The photos remind me that there are things in life - other than how good my writing is - that matter. And I think I all writers need that reminder sometimes ❤️

Positive post ... This is Claire ⬇️⬇️ Every week we clatter and natter our way around this big lake and marvel at how our lives can be so simultaneously crazy and banal. It is an hour of footsteps, fresh air and friendship and it is excellent for my mental health & makes me happy❤️

Today's positive post... Eleven years today @pedrolabambas.bsky.social & I saw the finished design for the DVD cover of our movie Heretic ❤️ The movie had a limited cinema release and then went on to get to number 4 in the DVD charts. Pretty darn good going for a movie made on a total budget of 18k 😊

Today's positive post... This! I know a lot of people are indifferent (Quote my brother 'its just the same stuff you can find in your freezer') But I love it. It makes everything seem brighter and comforting and it blankets the bad bits in a covering of snowy hope ❤️ Plus it makes kids of us all 😊🌨️

Today's positive post is ... I planted some plants today and now it's raining and that will make my plants happy and that makes me happy too 🌻😊 (Also - to Oxford comma or to not Oxford comma? That is always the question...)

I'm going to try and make my algorithms different here, so am going to do (at least) one positive post a day. Today's is that I couldn't sleep - gah ☹️ - so I came downstairs and am now having a cuppa with the dog on my lap and #Hamnet in my hands - ahhh 😊
