What an amazing weekend at #theakstonscrime 🍻We're out of the office today having a nice long sleep but we'll be back in on Tuesday and the Box Office opens as usual at 10am. 
Thank you Richard Maude and Gerard Binks for the ace pics!

The rain is coming again... Flood warnings for Leeds 😭
I know we need to fill up the reservoirs but... This is a bit much 😕

Leeds Pride...
We tried... And failed!
The rain was too much!

Great day though. Came home and got dry and cosy 😊

🛑 help from people in MARKETING! 🙌

❓Is it best to study and get a degree in Marketing?
❓Or learn on job after A-level? In an apprenticeship/internship position?

My son wants to get into a career in digital marketing and we're trying to work things out.

Advice would be really appreciated!

I had such a great time at Creative Thursday @harrogatefestivals.bsky.social yesterday. Learnt lots, met lots of lovely writers & authors, was invited to join a writing group, and got some great advice! I didn't get to pitch, but I was ready to - which felt good! I wrote so many notes!
Joyful day 🙌

Bat out of Hell the Musical!
Last night! The story was ridiculous 🤣 But the dancing, singing, music... Wow!!! Incredible!!
The mum - just fabulous! She played a great part, amazing voice.
And the musicians... The pianist and guitarist were so good! I often watched them rather than the characters 🤣

I woke up at 6am... knowing my alarm goes off at 6.30am

It's now 6.27 and I could happily sleep.

Gah!! 😣

I've drawn a poster, but I want to put it onto the computer so I can create it on there and add colour, manipulate elements etc

Do I have to scan it? Can I scan it on a photo copyier and email it to myself, then upload to Photoshop or Illustrator?

Appreciate any advice,

This totally looks like Casper has defeated both dogs and is coming for me.

Yes, the garden does need a bit of TLC.

You know when you feel so heady and ill you can't even read? That.

Surprisingly, I feel I could draw though... If I had the energy to get off the sofa and get a pencil and sketch book... Ha.

I've come home as still not well enough to be in work. Gutted.

Also, I really don't want to leave my work. I am really chuffed I did the application, and it's helped me to look at what I've achieved and all I have to offer, but I'm not ready to jump ship.
It's a good thing 🙂

I just submitted a job application! I'm absolutely over the moon! Deadline is Sunday 13th (which is technically now!) it's less money than I'm on now, and full time, but it's hopefully more like what I want to be doing.... And I'm hoping will lead to amazing things 🙌🤞✨

Been gardening.

Potted rosemary, strawberry plants and a flower that was a gift (I have no idea what it's called but I'll try not to kill it!) flowers in my porch to make it pretty, fake flowers in an Easter wreath on my door and courgette seeds in about 14 pots 🤣 and check out my rhubarb 🥰🍒🌸
