Ooh, more 11! Jacob Dudman is a hard act to follow but Miles Taylor sounds good. I was worried we wouldn’t get any more 11 for a while.

Finally caught up the @writershq.bsky.social and @mslexia.bsky.social newsletters today. Both were exactly what I needed to hear- it doesn’t matter if it takes a long time to finish something, and loads of tips on how to cope when life is super busy and writing slips down (off) the list.

11th delay repay on my commute since June submitted, and that doesn’t include the less than 15 minute delays. I only travel in twice a week 🙄 #northernfail

Always good to listen to a @bigfinish.bsky.social Eighth Doctor adventure and unexpectedly hear a friend’s voice! @greigarjohnson.bsky.social

Trip to Ripon yesterday. Good tree stump carving of Alice in Wonderland, a fun blue plaque and a great gravestone.

Dean and team @cthulhureborn.bsky.social do great work. As well as the core rules they have loads of scenarios. I’ve run several. They’re well laid out and even have different ending options. They’re all pay what you feel- even free, but if you can, pay something. The team have done amazing stuff.

Great visit to the small but perfectly formed Ice Age Art exhibition at Cliffe Castle Museum in Keighly as part of @bradford2025.co.uk Great to see the pieces, and some more local flints! The cave projection was particularly good. Recommended!

Very pleased with the @gailmyerscough.co.uk print that I got for my birthday. I grew up very close to Roseberry Topping 😊

Holiday at Home Day 8: Day out in Birmingham. Went to the NT’s back to back houses- these were much smaller than the one I lived in as a student in Bradford, then, fulfilling my husband’s dream, the Pen Museum (better than expected!). More info on the alt text on the photos.

Holiday at Home Day 7: trip to the UK Games Expo in Birmingham. We’ve not been for about six years- it has grown massively since then. Great to see so many people in the hobby and so many creative people, too.

Holiday at Home Day 6: Brunch at Cragside Farm near Leeds, attempts to power wash the patio stopped by a faulty hose connection (🙄), bit of life admin and worked on the synopsis for my novel.
