Fun questions I have researched today for my historical novel include:
1790s Toilet etiquette, rules and norms for men and women;
The origin of gravy boats;
When was the word gravy boat first used?!
I love learning!

We did a session 1.5 tonight for #DnD. Like a session 0 but reflecting on things between campaign chapters. Its reinvigorated my passion, some fantastic feedback on what's gone well and some amazing suggestions from my players for what's next and what we can all do to make our table better. #ttrpg

Listened to this on my lunch break and, my stars, it was cathartic. Given the political choas of this week and increasing Orwellian nature of language in the media, hearing reality articulated with reason and swear words gives some strength.

Just read that Zayda Steel, WWE's first ID prospect, now wrestling for ROH, has joined SkyFlight and it's making me regret not putting as a New Year's goal to watch more wrestling. Here's a deeper look at why and how #AEW fans should be excited #wrestlesky🤼 lastwordonsports.com/prowrestling...

Every so often I remember how two of my greatest passions collide. One of my favourite playwrights, Samuel Beckett used to drive Andre the Giant to school. And I think to myself every time I remember, one day I might write about that... #wrestlesky🤼‍♂️ #writersky

Tony Khan's ability to put guys into tag teams is incredible and 2nd to few. The Acclaimed, JetSpeed, The GOA and now Jake Doyle and Mark Davis as two hosses, my gawd! #AEW #wrestlesky🤼‍♂️

Despite an easier workday, I got up early to watch last night's #AEWDynamite and don't regret losing an hour of sleep. I'm excited for Maximum Carnage and the AEW World Championship match. Two great foils in MJF and Bandido, plus Kenny and others free waiting... we got options #wrestlesky🤼

Second play of 2026 read, Middleton and Rowley's The Changeling. A intriguing look at sin and betrayal and the limited options of women in patriarchy, I definetly want to see an adaption to fully experience the tragedy. #booksky📚💙

First audiobook of the year done. Finished book nine of Glen Cook's The Black Company, Water Sleeps. Although I have not enjoyed the last two books as much as previous ones, the dramatic events and the world building and character stories have me hooked for book 10 and 11 #booksky📚💙

Dealing with snow has meant I've had less time for writing, so I've gained some parasocial enjoyment helping my students write some fun texts. From a GCSE speech on why dogs are better than cats to letters to Santa from a Kid Karen and a whistleblowing elf, a fun start to term! #teaching #writersky

I'm not a fan of my partner collecting these Squishmallow things but as you can see from the dogs, I've been outvoted 🐕

My hot take is that I have no interest in seeing any of those NJPW names or WWE names in AEW when there's barely time for the current roster already. 🤼‍♂️

My partner loved The Sims when she was a teenager and neither if us do or dedicate time to videogaming in the same way anymore, so when I saw there was a Sims boardgame, that was a must-have Christmas present. Hopefully it's fun and nostalgic #boardgames

First play of 2026 read. Euripides' Heracles was my favourite of the four tragedies in this collection. Before the next year I also read Elektra and Hecuba. Enjoyed each and their presentation of the complexity of human nature and justification #booksky📚💙

Ebooks are reading.

Audiobooks are reading.

Graphic novels are reading.

Pulp reading is reading.

Adults reading YA is reading.

It's all good, my friends. Don't let anyone tell you different.

Going to keep the same New Year's goals I had last year, not because I failed to meet them (I hit half of them), but just because the priorities and such remain the same. Also, that I need to reflect more actively to just appreicate what I achieve and address quicker where I'm failing

The 1st #AEW Dynamite of the New Year set some interesting new directions up. Looking forward to more of Toni Storm romancing Orange Cassidy but I would love some movement with the Conglomeration and Roderick Strong get him on board or turning.
