Thank you! She has her moments. Usually doesn’t like being photographed!

maiphay @maiphay.bsky.social · 26/10/2023

Thank you - it’s amazing what the right lighting can do as I am no way photogenic! You’re certainly well travelled around the UK. Ever thought about visiting Wales?!

That’s very true. Is Scotland where you originate from? I’ve always wanted to go, I’ve got friends up there, but never quite got around to it.

A lot of Hackney has become gentrified, over the years, as I’m sure you’re aware. Where’s your favourite spot in London?

maiphay @maiphay.bsky.social · 26/10/2023

Nowhere near Chiswick, which is a lot more affluent. That’s quite a journey for you. Yes, “Demon” is apt. I might as well get up and do something productive. The cat’s awake now. My fault.

London… Insomnia isn’t the best companion to have. Actually “companion” is too nice a word!

I’m OK, thanks. I live in England. Struggling to sleep, so I’ve given up trying. Think I’m going to read for a while.

Serene picture and good evening, Steve. Hope all’s well your end!

Just finished making notes. Reckon by the time a new week starts, I’d’ve caught up with everything. I may be physically slow, but my mind is quick as a whip! Sometimes…

maiphay @maiphay.bsky.social · 25/10/2023

Go for it! That first one will always be daunting, but you got this. xxx

After a fairly severe flair up, I’m playing catch-up with my workload. Meanwhile, Mika’s skydiving in her sleep. To be a cat that dreams!

One of my all time faves!

maiphay @maiphay.bsky.social · 21/10/2023

Thank you - we had to pay for all of her meds out of pocket as insurance didn’t cover it. Defo wasn’t easy, but couldn’t live with myself if I didn’t try xxx

maiphay @maiphay.bsky.social · 20/10/2023

Thank you xxx She’s a diva. Known as Sassy Pants at her vets. Love her to bits. She nearly died from FIP when she was a kitten, so she’s extra special to us xxx

Your welcome. Grief is very personal to the person experiencing it. Am always here if you need an ear xxx

No, she’s a British Shorthair mix. Here’s a better photo…

Here’s mine, Mika… not sure if she’s a writing buddy or a saboteur, sometimes!

It’s a wonderful piece as is, I reckon. Speaks volumes, even more so knowing its back story. All I’d say is go with your feelings when it comes to doing anything else to it. Also, sorry for your loss xxx

maiphay @maiphay.bsky.social · 20/10/2023

I really like this piece.

maiphay @maiphay.bsky.social · 19/10/2023

I’m literally crawling to the weekend. It’s always busy at work, but throw in A&E, and ex-in-laws that think you want to hear their opinions, it gets a tad trying!

maiphay @maiphay.bsky.social · 18/10/2023

As a writer kid, I can relate to this.

I loves me a puzzle, I do, I do.

maiphay @maiphay.bsky.social · 16/10/2023

I would love to kick back with a book and chill right there!

maiphay @maiphay.bsky.social · 15/10/2023

Time for some tunes to make the weekly flat clean somewhat bearable. Then I’m gonna chill out with a puzzle. Or a book. Living the dream folks!

maiphay @maiphay.bsky.social · 13/10/2023

What a lovely post to read. Congratulations to you, Colin!

So, today I found out I’ve been accepted by a uni to study their MA In Creative Writing course. I am so excited and ready for this. #education #learning #itsnevertoolate

I was once an editor and that behaviour is what puts the field to shame. We’re there to guide and enhance a writer’s written voice. We are part of their journey and not there to make a writer feel such negativity.

maiphay @maiphay.bsky.social · 12/10/2023

I’ve got loads of note books dotted around my home because I’m like that. I prefer writing them, although my phone’s often my weapon of choice when out and something suddenly pops into my head.

maiphay @maiphay.bsky.social · 12/10/2023

Thank you and right back at ya xxx

010

maiphay @maiphay.bsky.social · 11/10/2023

Me too! I think a lot of it comes down to our preferred learning styles and how we prefer to absorb info and then use it.

010

maiphay @maiphay.bsky.social · 11/10/2023

Hahahaha! What a way to wake up!

010

maiphay @maiphay.bsky.social · 11/10/2023

Totally! Your picture really resonated with me and how my mind works, literally, with most things!

maiphay @maiphay.bsky.social · 11/10/2023

Love this! 🤣😂🤣

maiphay @maiphay.bsky.social · 11/10/2023

I try to have a loose plan. I’ve realised my end product is nothing like what it was at the beginning and I’m ok with that - now.

Invisibility disabilities have flared up today… had to really push myself to avoid missing deadlines. Dinner and a wash to put on, then it’s meds and bed.

maiphay @maiphay.bsky.social · 09/10/2023

Amazing talent you have, there!

Just finished #reading Starvation Heights by Gregg Olsen. Unbelievable #truestory about how people were starved to death, believing it was beneficial to them. That is until Dora Williamson found the strength to avenge her sister’s death.

Autumn is my favourite season. Love this!

maiphay @maiphay.bsky.social · 07/10/2023

Don’t I know it! It’s a lifestyle overhaul more than anything, I guess. Seeing results are always a boost to the cause!

maiphay @maiphay.bsky.social · 06/10/2023

Congrats on your progress!
