Lovely to meet @wednesdayerskin.bsky.social last night at beloved @lrb.co.uk. I love her short stories and am looking forward to reading her first novel. ‘Let your characters push back, they are not there to make your points’. Just the advice a novice short story writer like me needs. 😊

Geminid watch this evening: a) avoid light pollution, b) find clear patch of sky, c) face away from nearly full moon, d) stare at own moon shadow, e) realise hands and feet have gone numb, f) think of glass of wine by log fire, g) wander back - someone will share a good photo.

Ballon rouge, spot the ball or a slow sinking Norfolk sun. Always worth glancing back just as I am ploughing on.

Sun sinking on the longest evening over the North Sea, Norfolk. It’s been a beautiful day for the English summer solstice. Over to you Southern Hemisphere .. 😊
