Got to see one of my favourite bands ever play tonight at the London Palladium - Black Box Recorder. Never thought I'd get to see them. Was everything I hoped it would be.

Yesterday I attended the Laugh out loud children's book awards at the Southbank centre. Myself and Ross Collins won funniest picture book for our book There's nothing faster than a cheetah! Such a fun event, was lovely meeting everyone.

Lucy van Pelt has finally gone too far. But she will be brought to justice

Part 1 of 4

A Peanuts Comic. Once again Lucy has goaded Charlie Brown into trying to kick a football, and (as usual) she jerks the ball away at the last second, sending Charlie flying into the air.

This time however Charlie lands heavily on his neck and is killed instantly.

Part 2 of 4

Lucy kicks Charlie Brown to check if he’s dead. Which he is.
Exasperated, and worried she’ll be blamed for his death, Lucy begins to drag Charlie’s now lifeless body towards the creek.

Part 3 of 4

Lucy dumps poor ol’ Charlie Brown into the creek and watches him float away.

Part 4 of 4

Lucy heads back to Charlie Brown’s backyard to pick a fight with Snoopy in order to establish an alibi.

Unfortunately a disheveled, crumpled man with a cigar is already there.

“Miss, have y’seen this dog? He’s best friends with a BIRD. Can you believe that?”

That’s right folks. Columbo is here to avenge Charlie Brown.

Microsoft just emailed saying the price was going up on office 365 by 40% because of their daft ai crap. In the UK at least you can keep on the non AI version but you have to select cancel instead of change plans on their site.

Happy PLR day to all who celebrate. Getting money is obviously 👍 but it's also great to see how many times your books were borrowed, especially the older ones still out there, chugging away, finding new readers.

I'm uncomfortable with the inevitable "his work was always crap" because it seems to say "you can tell who the predators are by how well they write" and ... no no you absolutely cannot, that's the whole point.
