Was in the garden with my youngest trying to crack a geode when the emergency alert went off. The panic in his eyes. I told him it just said don't have a barbecue 😔 #emergencyalert

Took the kids to see Future Council, an inspiring documentary about children challenging companies on their environmental impact. They thought it was amazing. I'd recommend to anyone interested in the climate, especially for kids. #futurecouncil

Thoroughly enjoyed Out of the Box at Bingley Arts Centre today (even if I was called up onto stage for a big part of the show). Excellent family fun, my kids aged 8 and 11 loved it!

My 11 year old daughter set up a book group on Friday and seven of her friends came round to talk about books (and play). After all the talk about kids not reading, it was heartening to see their enthusiasm. The kids will be alright! #booksky

It's happening!! In June 2026, Squid Bits: That's a Nice Hat will be coming out! This book is a collection of some of the Squid Bits comics I've been working on since 2014 for The Phoenix and it's so exciting to finally see it in book form! There're some vintage SB strips in there too!

Kids have taken a real interest in Warhammer after trying it out on a school open evening. Took them into the shop at the weekend and they had their first try at painting a model. Part done but looking great so far.

A thermoplastic mask moulded to my head & shoulders, then clamped to a rack for a CT scan. Next: 6 wks of radiotherapy to wipe out any trace of cancer, while parenting my twin boys Treatment + somewhere to live by the hospital = survival. Without both, the plan fails. Want to help? Link in bio 👊❤️
