@fieseler.bsky.social just reading your posts. Then this popped up. What are the chances? Is it an anniversary or similar?

Do NOT listen to those arseholes who criticise pre-prepared, tinned or frozen veg - anyway you can manage to get veggies into your body is good enough for jazz.

Check out these Gen Z bros lighting up the Moby Dick Marathon reading at 6:10am right now in New Bedford, MA.
Most of the people who endured here in the museum up until this point are under 30 years old. Guys, the kids are all right.

Over 25 attendees (and me) made this mural inspired by Moby Dick at an art shop across from the New Bedford Whaling Museum where we are attending the Moby Dick marathon right now. Peak art creation was 11pm to 2am, a break to get outside and use your hands during all the reading.

We are 16 hours into the Moby Dick reading marathon. It’s 4:44am and the coffee station ran out of cups. 😬 The read aloud session in the auditorium is piped in from a speaker.

Managed to get a run in this afternoon after a lazy start. The dam was semi frozen. Swans sensibly sticking to the edge. Beautiful. Fresh!

Is there anywhere on the web that does an Archers synopsis? I haven't listened in years but I'd like to know roughly what happened over Christmas/New Year without having to actually listen to it

I can now say that my first adult book comes out this year!
Unapologetic Love Story opens with a very fancy black tie event at the V&A. At this party, enemies are made and sparks fly--all because a neurotypical writer gets a bit flustered upon meeting an autistic podcaster whose star is on the rise

I love the secret feature at Nine Elms London Underground station that reveals itself during a sunny day.
If you arrive at the perfect moment, the roundel logo is beautifully projected onto the floor.
So I took Dancer Andreya with me to interact with the scene.

One of the contributors to the book we're publishing in May about Global Football Clubs that are still essential parts of their communities lives in Caracas, 2km from an airfield that was bombed yesterday.
He's been in touch and is OK but obviously concerned about what happens next.

Should you still have quite a few clementines about the place, you might be particularly interested in #RecipeOfTheDay, even if you did make (as I did) this Clementine Cake over Christmas. Its bright sunniness is just what’s needed now, I rather feel! www.nigella.com/recipes/clem...

Some people may be considering writing a novel this year.
Good idea!
I thought I'd share some practicalities that have worked for me as a very busy person who also writes.
This is me sharing what I have tested and used. This is not advice.
Reread the previous two sentences.
