I'm not sure which came first, the artistic or the literary vignette, but here we have a photographic vignette of Watson, the writer’s cat, asleep on top of the antique writing desk I inherited from my mother.

Love it! Oh the things we could but mustn’t write… that list surely is endless!
Me trying to write an interesting author bio: “Nina Parmenter does not work well with others. She was on the phone at 7.30 am yesterday sorting out a forklift that couldn’t get through a doorway. She lives in Wiltshire with an 11kg capacity washing machine.”

Oh! One of my #favourite things! My little ol’ rucksack stuffed with my trusty laptop on our way to a quiet #writing spot somewhere. Will I get to the end of the chapter? Will it all make sense?
