They were a little late to the party but I am finally getting some late season tomatoes. I guess getting a few from each plant is better than nothing 🤷🏻‍♂️😂

They Are Still Here
Times are hard. Perhaps not quite hard enough for Arthur to awaken from his long sleep, but other characters from mythology and history may still be here to lend a hand. Are you having trouble with…

On an absolute roll with the writing at the moment. Squeezing sessions in before and after shifts at the dayjob, and averaging 2-3K words a day. Haven’t had such a good flow for some years 🥳✍️📕

BBC is the reason there was a lack of prize money and we know for a fact (from some differences in international edits) that they have in the past censored certain jokes concerning the royal family. Channel 4 would have been a much fit but I am guessing they saw the beeb as being more prestigious.

I always thought it an odd pairing. The BBC is way too socially conservative for something like Drag Race and I have always suspected that their influence was the reason the UK iteration often felt a little off in its tone.

Apparently the current season of Drag Race UK is going to be the last with the BBC because they have dropped it… and to be honest, I think this could be a good thing if WOW Presents chose to continue.

I was just writing at my desk and suddenly felt cold enough to put my dressing gown on 🥳 Autumn is finally here. Let’s hope it’s an especially cold and gloomy one. We deserve it 🍂

Why is it that whenever the meteorologists predict a heatwave it comes without fail but when it’s a good ol’ storm they see on the horizon it never actually fucking happens.

Back in print at last, Joanne Hall's The Summer Goddess was a finalist for Best Novel in the British Fantasy Awards: wizardstowerpress.co...
The cover of The Summer Goddess by Joanne Hall, art by Ken Dawson

The image shows the back view of a cloaked (but not hooded) warrior with her sword out. The is standing on the shore of a lake. There are mountains in the distance. Celtic knotwork decorates the corners of the cover.

For the first time in my life someone has bought me flowers. It was my boyfriend’s ex wife. Yes really. I don’t have a vase so I put them in a spaghetti jar.

What do you think the Venn diagram of people complaining about this and people who would complain if places abroad didn’t have western style toilets for them to use would look like? 🤡

Perhaps I have gone a little overboard with the William Morris, but I think that I have done a rather grand job of utilising the limited space and turning it into my home.

Today marks a year since I picked up the keys for this place. This was a big step for me because not only was I living by myself for the first time but I was also becoming a homeowner and truly settling down somewhere with the intention of living there long term.
