Happy Friday Bluesky people. Have a final marigold before the earth settles down to rest.
An autumn marigold in a pot with seedy heads behind. It’s taken at dawn with blue sky and clouds behind

Fav building in Old Street. It gives me vertigo! #london #photography #favouriteplaces
A shot of high rise buildings including one in he middle which is false perspective and looks as if it exists in a different dimension to the others. By the way if you read this can you please comment so I know I’m not just wasting my time!

6 facts about my new story.

1.It will transport you back in time to 1990s London.
2. It’s funny.
3. Alec Baldwin is in it.
4. It’s a tale of rags-to-rags (but I still achieved everything I ever wanted)
5.It’s my true life story!
6. I’m gonna tell it THIS SATURDAY @AllGoodBookshop in Turnpike Lane!
Two pics of me. In one I’m an electrician on location in Spain. I’m standing in the tailgate of a large truck and looking young and fit. In the other I am 54 years old and telling a story around a fire wearing a long dress

Night walks in #London can be like being on the set of a movie #NightWalks #photography
A small urban park at night. Yellow streetlight filters through the remains of autumn leaves making blotchy shadows on the path. Everything is damp and dark and eerie. More urban outdoor lights can be seen speckling the distance.

The wonderful Magneto Electric Machine which can cure toothache & haemorrhoids.

Found at the @rcpmuseum.bsky.social today when researching my half term storytelling.
(Just wondering how I can work it into the story, I’m sure I’ll think of something!)

I’m storytelling for the #RoyalCollegeofPhysicians this half term and I went along for a visit. This damaged book dates from before the Great Fire. It looks as if it was chewed by a rat but the damage is really the result of shrapnel from the blitz in ww2
