First vomit bullet points for a young chapter book idea getting it out of my head and down relief feels. Always feels like a load off your brain 😆 just need to start writing it, but that's a future me problem. Not a right now one. #kidlituk

Is there a word for when you've read a book so good you sort of have a space to grief and ruminate upon it?! #kidlituk

ERMAGAD LOOK WHATS ARRIVED AT CHOCOLIT!! It's a gorgeous cover. I had planned to do some writing this afternoon, but that will have to wait as I get stuck into this! Absolutely loved BoSaS so hope this is as good. #kidlituk #bookshops #hungergames

Had a great time at The London Book Fair yesterday! Caught up with my publisher, brainstorming the next Band Book! Had some great meetings and chats, and ran into some pals! Then topped it off with Jamie Hammonds book launch for his amazing Grumpfort! What a day! #kidlituk #londonbookfair

Every major UK newspaper - left, right, broadsheet, tabloid - is running a front page campaign against copyright carveouts for AI training. I can't remember the last time any political cause had such broad support, let alone one so anti-big tech and so economically consequential.

Hand sewed a bolt of wool into an anglo saxon cloak, and dyed it to be a tad less 'low status' to brown. Its a bit patchy but hoping that makes it more authentic looking 😆 last minute prep for the @jorvikviking.bsky.social festival this weekend! #TheHaestingas #anglosaxon #jorvikvikingfestival

There is someone or someones who lets their dog wee on our bookshop step and I always just miss catching who it is! It's so rude, anyone could walk that into the shop. Drives me mad! Dog owners, please don't let your dog wee on bookshops 😆

The best thing about working in a bookshop is getting your mitts on proofs before they're published! This isn't gonna be out for MONTHS yet and I'm so excited. Songlight was one of my fave books last year!! #kidlituk #bookshop

Bass was brilliant the season we had him. (Never fall in love with a loan player 💔) and not over Ali Hamadi, but my fave has to be short shorts. What a defender Lewis is 😎

Morning bus observation. The 249 terminates at Clapham Old Town, yet people still ding the dinger even though its definitely stopping and not going anywhere. It makes me irrationally irritated 😅🤣

At Xmas time I discovered my 6 year old neices rings also fit my fingers & I then also further discovered I might be a ring person. I'm not a big jewellery person, so this was quite an exciting prospect. She refused to gift me her own ring so I've since found some on Vinted. AND BEHOLD! 🤩

I've realised Dribble and Dash represent different aspects of me. Mostly I'm grumpy Dribble, but I have my Dash moments (except I don't flash my bum too often these days).

I had the most DREAMY birthday seeing the Cactus Blossoms Friday! We met the band afterwards and they were so charming and friendly. We got chatting about bass guitars & Philip let us try his '71 fender precision bass (it's so light!) My husband has a fender jazz '77 and it's so heavy in comparison
