My oldest kid just sent me an Instagram post about creepy characters on children's TV shows in the UK. So I laughed and told them to Google Mr Noseybonk from Jigsaw. And now everyone in our house is too traumatised to sleep.

Dad’s books are full of empathy, common sense, and a healthy suspicion of the powerful. But at its heart his work is also about how systems keep people poor while pretending it’s their own fault. So I hope Kemi’s taking notes as well as reading the jokes.

Today is National Biscuit Day, and it’s about time that I populated this account with biscuit (cookie) sets from the past few years. Here are some of my favourites. 🧵 First up, a set inspired by the delicious designs of William Morris and John Henry Dearle.
A set of eight rectangular cookies arranged on a square white plate against a dark wooden background. Each cookie is inspired by a wallpaper design by Morris & Co. The patterns represented feature different floral and leaf shapes in shades of baby blue, soft pink, leafy green, mustard yellow, cream, and dark grey.

We are showing some multi generational Pratchett appreciation to mark the 25th May (sadly my lilac bloomed early this year & I didn't get photos!) However, my youngest was working on a school project last week called bring a book to life. They chose A Hat Full of Sky 😃 #Speakhisname #Glorious25th
UK school homework project - bring a book to life. Youngest child chose A Hat Full of Sky by Terry Pratchett. Photo shows a cardboard box painted to look like the black sands while Tiffany Aching faces the Hiver and robed figure of the DiscworldDEATH looks on.
