Coined the phrase “tighter than a toddlers fist holding on to a cheese string” just now… pretty proud of it tbh… will try to use it in conversation tomorrow.

I’ve made a pretty little star map puzzle for a thing I’m doing…

I’ll put the text clue in the reply’s if you want to have a go… it’s one of the simpler puzzles in the set and just supposed to be an Aha! Moment.

I've got a back to the future detectorists print with a dent/tear at the bottom, free to a randomly selected good home. Follow/Like/Repost/Reply to be in with a chance of getting it.

Is anyone a puzzle fan? I'm looking for people to be testers for something I'm putting together... it would just be the odd a4 head scratcher to have a go at... apply below x

Reading @sachacoward.bsky.social Queer as Folklore in the dappled sunlight of a tree. Lovely way to spend an afternoon.

Just seen a headline “benefits u-turn may haunt Prime minister” and I just thought, not exactly M. R. James is it?

I’m loving Glastonbury but I’d love a Musical Theatre stage… like just imagine after Buster Rhymes the cast of Phantom get up and belt out a few numbers… or The 1975 supported by Death Becomes Her… it would be brilliant

I have a joke about Cassandra.

You won’t believe how funny it is.
I have a joke about Sisyphus.

What do you mean I have to tell it again?
I have a joke about Zeus, you'll be thunderstruck by it

Someone I know and have shared a stage with has just won a Tony Award... it's taken me a day to process this...

Is it possible to “Get her Jade!” For both sides?

My manifesto for Doctor Who
-more chumblies
-Kate Bush to write a sequel to Snakedance
-the TARDIS to keep getting smaller over the course of the season and no one say anything (actually that’s a good idea)
-Sarah Paulson and Gillian Anderson in Happiness Patrol spinoff (again that’s a good idea!)

Today’s random line that may or may not stay in the story I’m writing,
“Charlie Dimmock’s very own El Dorado.”

I do enjoy editing…. Crossing out, reshaping, refining. Do it with a quick stroke and it hardly hurts at all!

Last night I dreamt that Big Finish had commissioned me to do a range of audio dramas based on the TV show Animal Magic.

In other news I’m ploughing my way through the first draft of a very exciting short story… it (at the moment) contains the line, “I’m getting ate by a bloody Hydrangea, Doris!”
