As I got older I moved on, keeping only a mild interest. Enough to watch Walking with Dinosaurs and other documentaries but not much more. That was until this year, when I stumbled upon the fantasric #TerribleLizards podcast presented by @davehone.bsky.social and @iszi.com. I back in, in a big way.

I always struggle with clothes shopping partly because I’m huge for a woman and partly because I secretly desire to look like a 12th century warrior monk.

Perhaps my second favourite Dinosaur is the beautiful Miragaia and I made this display originally as a surprise gift to @iszi.com however it turns out @davehone.bsky.social loves Miragaia and Iszi loves the @cpdinosaurs.bsky.social so they did a cheeky swap. I’m just happy they liked them ☺️🏴☠️🖤

Why is it so difficult to update social media. It isn't like I've not got stuff to tell you - terrible lizards is out on the 27th, I've a new set of books out on the 28th and I'm working on a BRAND NEW podcast... but somehow it feels awful to tell you about it.
