Ziggy, the writing studio cat is in residence. She’s demanding attention, chewing cables and typing her own words. I’m looking forward to her becoming an adult cat that sleeps for 20 hours a day. Love her though ❤️

I’m joined at my desk by my demanding heated blanket today. #amwriting

I’ve been home alone with my two cats for two days.
They are taking it in turns to stop me working. The other laps come home this evening and I suspect I’ll be dumped by both cats within minutes so I’m enjoying the loving while it lasts. #amwriting #kidlituk #ukkidlit

I have the same

The other human is away so I have a very demanding Ziggy for company, only there isn’t much space on my lap while I’m typing.

Mickey, my ghost writer

Desk stuff ready to pack.

I would do but …

It’s winter in the UK and we’re in the middle of a v cold spell. What do my fellow writers and artist’s wear to keep warm while at their desk?
Me : felt beret, leg warmers, Turtle Doves cashmere fingerless gloves, wool dress,topped off with a fleece blanket hoodie. And a cat. #kidlituk #amwriting

Merry Christmas from Gran Canaria

Four years old today and still helping me write #Kidlituk #authorcats

Such joy! Mickey loves to run on the sand too

Having a bad leg is costing me a fortune. I wasn’t getting far enough, fast enough on the NHS, so I’ve paid to see orthopaedic surgeon, MRI and specialist leg brace. Now I’m having to buy trousers that accommodate the leg brace. At least wide leg is in, but they aren’t exactly flattering. Sigh.

I’m ignoring the wind, and hunkering down in my writing den to pen the final chapter of my Fiction Express book Runaway. It’s about homelessness, exploitation,bikes, friends, family and chocolate brownies. #kidlituk #ukkidlit

I’m assuming people are still going to want to see pictures of cats
