Being an NFL @kansascitychiefs.bsky.social fan, as well as a mum and a university programme director, I always have a handful of kids I’m worried about. I don’t know Josh Simmons, but he’s on my list to fret over.

Book launch @Bookhaus. ‘Writing is so much more than entertainment,’ Sabrin Hasbun says. ‘Fiction stays with you,’ Sunny Singh agrees. ‘It has the power to change how you think…it’s a powerful tool of decolonisation.’

Got a thank you parcel from @lisamclark.bsky.social that MADE ME CRY. Dr Clark, encouraged to slow down with her imagery, wrote a hymn just for me and then made me a pendant from her grandparent’s fountain pen. 🥹🥹🥹

Hymn text based on the Lord as Shepherd.

This am I’ve: 1) Done the classic ADHD I’ve-got-an-hour-oh-now-ten-minutes-and-I’m-not-ready, 2)Confused two students and talked to the right student about the wrong story, 3) Made a student cry by admitting the end of Third Year is brutal but they’d be okay. Upwards.

I’m responding to a reviewer for an academic book proposal and took a break to draw (badly) a little turtle so I have a friend, if you wonder why I write for children.

It’s stir-up Sunday. I’ve gone to Posh Supermarket for final ingredients. I’m charging car for Husband, too, so he can commute all week without worrying. I’m also listening to a sports podcast, because LFG, #kcchiefs, AND meanwhile planning my part of a new fiction collab. Because ADHD has upsides.
