See my beautiful Procyon dahlias glowing in the sun 🌿🌱

A dahlia plant in the garden with many orange-yellow double dahlia blooms burnished be the slantwise sunlight.

Flu jab achieved. Marked down Basque cheesecake from Waitrose also achieved by way of reward.

I guess I'm not going to be doing any more sitting and knitting this evening then.

#cuprite or 'ruby copper' for me. Defines me very well.

Me, this time last year: I should really knit myself a light, airy 3/4-length sleeve jumper to wear over my floaty dresses during this seasonal transition. Me, today: I should REALLY knit myself a light, airy 3/4-length sleeve jumper to wear over my floaty dresses during this seasonal transition.

Because I can always fit another rose into the garden, I've just ordered 'With Courage', the rose bred for the RNLI 200th anniversary. £5 goes to the RNLI. #roses www.peterbealesroses.com//rnli-200th-...

#Cuprite gets my vote. Just look at it! Besides, 'ruby copper' could have been coined as a description of me!

September colour in the garden. With guests. 🌱🌿

Autumnal back garden seen from above. Focal point is square bed containing yellow roses, orange dahlias, golden Acer, green shrubs. On the left hand side of the cross-path are two fluffy white cats

Ouch. How have I suddenly cricked my neck just by looking at the screen? (This is a rhetorical question. Posting for sympathy.)

3/3 My other project is a modern cosy queer fantasy. To Make a Child follows Rowan Oakheart, an aroace disabled farmer slowly healing through the process of making a child (literally) and learning to be a healthy father. He's not sure which is herder. Currently querying agents and publishers.

2/3 Rival and Lover is the prequel to The Eye of the Unborn Serpent. It's a slice of life wuxia that focuses on relationships between people, but no protagonist's childhood is easy. Expect hurt and comfort. (Cover by me) www.royalroad.com/fiction/1816...

I am working on two different projects right now. The first is a queer fantasy Wuxia - think Avatar the Last Airbender meets the old kung fu movies with a dose of danmei. The Eye of the Unborn Serpent is a serial on Royal Road with book 1 complete 1/3 www.royalroad.com/fiction/1448...

Fruit cake anyone? I've just packed son's squares into a tin for him to take home tomorrow. About to freeze the rest in four-piece packages. Should last me a while.

The remains of a large fruit cake traybake cut into squares.

Dear Future Jan - just a thought, but might it be a good idea to print out receipts AT THE BLOODY TIME, rather than hunt backwards through your Orders folder come the end of the year?

Just made the unwelcome discovery that I haven't written up my accounts since the end of December. I'll be at the kitchen table surrounded by paperwork and mugs of tea if anyone needs me...

Hit me with the first line of your novel, published/finished or not. Here's mine London, 7th January 1928 Under normal circumstances, a newly-married couple would have better things to do just after midnight than be outside photographing the rising water of the Thames in the tail end of a storm.

Was intending working on the book today, but am still so incensed by the bad-feeling about the frankly miraculous RNLI that I've just bought Christmas cards and lots of tea from their online shop. shop.rnli.org

All hail Graham, the washing-machine engineer, who has once again breathed life into my fifteen-year-old machine. As he left he patted it fondly and said he'd be back in another two or three years with another set of brushes for the motor.
