It's the 10 anniversary of Small Press Day - the day that you go to a local shop to meet new creators.
Please investigate & take part. It's a UK -wide event to help shops & creators.
I've just discovered a sketch of an unused poster idea.
No clue why I didn't use it in 2021.

I hate midsummer in the north.
There’s no night to speak of,
just day in and day in
with maybe a slight hesitancy
about two o’clock in the morning…

It's hot and I've eaten too much.
Every fibre in my body (a body I trust), is screaming, "have a wee snooze".
If I do that i will be grumpy for a couple of days and will no longer fully trust every fibre in my body.

Farage is the worst of people.
I had two emergency abortions after my tiny babies died but did not miscarry.
Without those abortions, I could have died.
My fertility could have been permanently affected.
If Farage gets his way, women will die.
