I have numerous monkeys, although I don't think any of them are a close cousin of the monkey in the advert! 😊

Needed to pick something up from Argos, and while I was there found these in Sainsburys - new peppermint mocha drink!

(Which seem to have replaced their usual mocha drink that I normally buy every Friday!)

No Friday evening Sainsbury's and Asda shopping this week (as heavy rain forecast all day).

I was in city centre this morning, so picked up a few bits and pieces from Morrisons instead! 😀🍫🍪🥤

Picked up the new issue of Panini's UK Fantastic Four comic from WH Smiths (it may say TG Jones on the sign, but I'm still calling it WH Smiths 😂).

Reprinting 2 issues from the US. Enjoying this title so far (and Ryan North's run, which this reprints)! 😀

Why attend Books & Networking?

Book themed networking events - everyone welcome.

Some attend because they are more interested in the book club aspect, others more the networking - a few because they'd like with writing.

Sleepy asked me to let everyone on BlueSky know that ITV are showing the first two episodes of Star Trek: Strange New Worlds tomorrow night.

Whether you haven't watched yet because you don't use Paramount+, or just like that it's on TV. 🖖

"Hi Simon, can you help with..."

I occassionally get messages asking me to answer book related questions.

One of the best places to ask is at the Books & Networking events!
