#DayonWriting #OfficeChocolateDay US-based National Council of Teachers of English celebrate writing today. And... It's also bring-chocolate-to-the-office day! Yes, we work from home most days, but still, it's an office! Chocolate makes everything better, including a rainy and stormy Monday. 😜

On #DictionaryDay we're delighted to share obscure words! For instance, you might get bumfuzzle, but do you know whether you're callipygian? Just look at your thighs... Our word today is PANDICULATION. We hadn't heard of it. What do you think? 🤓

With the rain and colder weather, might it be the perfect time to start the #christmascountdown? We were inspired by the all-year Christmas shop in Bowness-on-Windermere when visiting the Lake District in June. And now it's almost Sept. One of us might install her Christmas Countdown app... 🎄😉🤣

We're delighted and a bit proud of ourselves as we've reached our target weights! Caz lost 2 st; Jon 2 st 9 lbs.
Last Saturday, we visited Canterbury. Such a lovely city, vibrant and colourful. The cathedral, admired from afar, the river, the quirky streets, and gorgeous buildings... we loved it.

When in Dorchester, look for #ThomasHardy's Mayor of Casterbridge! Very cool to have been where once the mayor lived. #Dorchester #literature

On our daily lunch walks we pass fields of grass, gardens with flowers blossoming, now fully green trees whispering in the wind... An inspiration for a little poem on this sunny Friday. Hope you enjoy.

Especially now, when simplified one-liners are heavily featured, when opinions are shared as 'news' & 'truth', when people chant noneties than look into facts, when politicians respond to the news instead of creating a better world for all instead of a few, we need to stop shouting & start thinking.

Any excuse to celebrate discovering the world, in books or irl, suits us! Most of all, we love to randomly pick a place on the map, pack a lunch and coffee and off we go. Always on the lookout for second-hand book and vinyl shops... What's your next stop on the map?

We visited Winchester's gorgeous bluebells fields, a purple-hued secret garden. Just stunning!

Have a lovely week, and enjoy the sunshine! 🌷

Publishing is tough - as we've come to know. You try to send your notes into the sea only for the sea to cough it up unread. Frustrating. Talent aplenty, but platforms are lacking. That's why we now concentrate on our Author Services (joncazcole.com/author-services). #supportindieauthors

#SlimmingSelfie Another three weeks have gone: time for another selfie. It may not be obvious, but together we are down 2 stone and 6 pounds! Jon a bit more than Caz, 19 lbs and 15 lbs respectively. The belt needed another notch, and clothes feel and look better.
