'Maisie Monkey'made the longlist for the Writing Magazine Children's Book competition. Hoomum is now fretting that there might only have been 10 entries. Didn't make the shortlist but got some very helpful feedback.

![Feathers McGraw wanted poster - ‘have you seen this chicken?’ Translated into school French “recherché - avez vous vu ce poulet?” [spoiler- we know the ‘chicken’ is really a penguin with a rubber glove on its head in disguise]](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:jqt2kxibs5wkhdqbep3kdibl/bafkreihmzbw3q5n5hq5ivmka4mm5cfk3apnkk7kjiiyunfsr3hkmwdr6oa@jpeg)

I love reading Rupert's Annual with him. Especially when there's a story about a cheeky monkey.

2024 calendars are nearly ready for recycling. Imagine the gap on your kitchen/office wall? Start 2025, in just 5 weeks, with 12 months of me, in over 30 photos! A prize if you can identify the location of each. I'm supporting @SarcoidosisUK and a small donation from you can make a real difference!
