I'm so happy - I found the perfect bed.
It's a mix of cardboard box and scratcy bed!
I usually jump out of normal beds when I see Betty but I was really enjoying this one and I couldn't be bothered to get out.
I love my Scratchy Box Bed!

Any shares of this much appreciated! When my ex-publishers collapsed, taking over £20,000 of my earnings with them into the void, all my books suffered but none more than 1983. This is me trying to repair that. It’s about:
Childhood
Education
Aliens
Alpacas
The East Midlands
The old future we lost
Hello! My CEO Roscoe and I are giving away TWO signed copies of my novel 1983 to two randomly selected people who repost this & pop a reply below. You also get a free postcard of this illustration of Roscoe by my mum.

It’s been called “Stranger Things rewritten by Kurt Vonnegut & Sue Townsend”…

More about Dorothy: I've heard that Robert really loved her but she never encouraged him.
Betty says she was a real character and will never be forgotten.

Heartfelt thoughts tonight for everyone affected by the awful incident on board the LNER service near Huntingdon.
Thank you to the first responders and railway colleagues who showed such courage and care.

Do you think that Betty will ever get fed up of taking my photo?
Every time I look at her she's got the phone in her hand ready to take another one.
She tells me to chill out and stop over-thinking.
Then she takes more photos.
Humans are very hard to understand, aren't they?

the new Plaid Cymru assembly member for Caerphilly sounds like a proper community-minded character:

"Still a councillor, he also has four voluntary jobs, working in two local schools, a community coffee shop and a foodbank...."

The Caerphilly result is what we need to see everywhere at the next election: people coordinating to vote tactically for parties which seek a fairer, kinder, greener country.
Pushing out both those who have betrayed our trust AND those who seek to exploit that betrayal.

Do you mind if I tell you a bit about myself?
I wandered into the allotments about a month ago and I really like it here.
I've learned that Colin feeds Janet and Amanda so I make sure he sees me and feeds me too.
He seems okay, so I might let him stroke me one day.

I don't like to brag but I do think our cat Jim is probably better at stretching than virtually any other cat in Britain.

María Corina Machado - an outstanding and thoroughly deserving Nobel Peace Prize winner, and an inspirational woman, who - as the Committee rightly noted - “keeps the flame of democracy burning during a growing darkness”.

This is nothing more than a continuation of the president’s desperate weaponization of our justice system.

I am not fearful — I am fearless.

We will fight these baseless charges aggressively, and my office will continue to fiercely protect New Yorkers and their rights..

Maurine came into the veranda yesterday.
He didn't seem bothered that Colin and I were both there, he was only interested in food.
I don't mind that, so long as he leaves me alone and doesn't chase me.
It might be nice to have a new friend, what do you think?

I've been keeping Uncle Mick company again.

He's like Betty and Colin because he has never had a cat of his own at home, he's always had dogs.

I know that some dogs are good with cats, but I'm scared of them.

After what happened to sweet Robert I don't think you can blame me, can you?

One of the most remarkable things of the last 9 months is how many Americans seem to believe the President is all powerful and Congress has no say.
Actually Congress has been ineffective by choice. It has immense power if it had the courage to use it.

I can't help noticing that Colin is almost as hairy as me.

His hairs are all the same colour, not a lovely tabby pattern like mine are.

Betty said it would be weird if they were but if it isn't weird for cats, why would it be weird for humans?

She said I'm over-thinking things again.

The clearing of the rubble in a Kyiv high-rise house bombed by russia — which claimed 25 lives — has just ended, and already a new swarm of russian drones fills our skies, with Tu jets preparing for takeoff and the launch of cruise missiles.

This is a never-ending 9/11.

As we've seen across history, the populist playbook used by Farage is ugly, powerful and incredibly destructive.

We know where it will lead if we don't stop it.
