Look how brilliant Gail's art looks on the wall! Sorry about the shit photo. That's why I bought art by, you know, an artist.

I know I keep banging on about my designs but it’s not easy being a small business at the moment.
Take a look at my wares and please retweet.

@gailmyerscough.bsky.social My son loves Preston bus station- I saw in one of your posts you have a Preston bus station cushion? Is that an older design?

Mum passed away today and is at peace now. 🥰💕She was a lovely woman so it is fitting that she died on a day dedicated to love.

Niall Williams is currently my favorite author. His language is glorious. He stops me over and over with passages such as this:

@eyesshutteacher.bsky.social Are you watching Amandaland?
Ann’s despair teaching maths to teenagers + her declaration that maths teaching is so hard.. coupled with the teacher’s heartfelt ‘Amen to that!’ is a sentiment oft felt at the end of a WhiteRose whole class maths teaching session. Classic

Anyone who ever taught White Rose Maths listened to Ann saying ‘I thought maths teaching would be so easy… but it is.. sooo.. hard,’ and joined in with the ‘Amen to that sister!’ in episode 3 of Amandaland. Wonderful writing and acting. 😂🤣

@christinebreen.bsky.social Very excited that you liked one of my posts. Hope you caught this one too.
One of my fave books. Love that style of writing but we all have different tastes. You probably wouldn’t like Niall Williams either - my newly discovered fave author of the moment. I call it lyrical writing - words are chosen ‘poet’ carefully and the storytelling is top dog even above the plot.
