I'm living my best TV life right now.
Shetland, The Burning Girls, Wolf Hall, The Mirror and The Light. Plus I've watched Jude and Far From The Madding Crowd the past week. I do love a bit of Thomas Hardy, but by Christ his novels are depressing

#Perthshire 📚✒️🏴
Next Sunday (24/11), fellow author Alex Nye and I will be running a writing workshop at Strathearn Arts in Crieff, Perthshire. Theme: Hope, which should be entertaining since we both write about crime, death, horrid ghosties etc.
Voice from the audience: "I hope I don't meet any."

🥀 The last time Labour held the keys to the City Chambers, they discriminated against their own workers.
The SNP resolved this injustice & paid our workers what they were owed.
At a sum of £30mil per year, Glaswegians are literally paying the price for Labour’s incompetence.

Syboes (or sybees I would pronounce)
Poor Oot (wedding scramble)
Syver or siver (a gutter in the road, the rain ran down)
Bumps or double bumps (really fast turns of a skipping rope, ending in red raw stinging legs usually)
Dumps (or bumps on the back from your pals as a birthday celebration😁)

I can’t abide Alison Pearson OR James O’Brien.
Both attention seeking media parasites. One an increasingly deranged Far Right Hell’s Housewife, the other a whining, hypocritical bully who voted for Boris Johnson and had a five year, on air tantrum about Corbyn Labour.
Awful people.
