I see the car park machine has started handing out unsolicited life coaching again.

Writing in my bedroom. I can hear the eldest listening to Radiohead in his room, and the middle one is listening to Jeff Buckley next door. At least I’ve got something right in 17 years of parenting… #prouddad

Libraries matter more than ever now! They embody a beautiful & brilliant idea that we must never stop defending. The idea that knowledge is free & belongs to EVERYONE. We all need to support our libraries & librarians - especially when people seek to ban books & free thinking. #libraries #books

I joined “the other place” when I was shortlisted for a writing competition. Sadly, that chapter ended a bit like my relationship with the hellsite - demoralised and disappointed. I’ve just joined this place and have a meeting with an agent. Here’s hoping the Bluesky vibes keep sending me higher….

Only bluesky regret so far? Ticking the “sports” option in interests. I’m coming to the realisation that I have zero interest in 99% of the world’s various sports, when what I really meant was ‘rugby (union) and very occasionally international cricket’

Ah… the optimism that *this time*, it will be different. I’ll enjoy it here, at least until Laurence Fox and South African rugby Twitter come and gatecrash the party
