I’ve just been in a fantastic sustainability-themed networking session thanks to Small Business Britain and I now have so many websites open and sooooo many ideas bouncing around my head!

I've just received the CPD certificate for Small Business Britain's Green Growth Programme, so I've been looking back over my notes from the classes.

It was inspiring to learn from other service providers about ways of cutting costs and attracting customers while doing good. Thank you all.

I started this in January. Finally, I declare construction complete 🎉

It’s very wobbly but I managed to make space for it on a bookshelf. Hooray!

Just finished Philippa Gregory’s ‘Boleyn Traitor’. Stunning read, as ever. All the usual great writing that creates tension and suspense even when you know the outcome, with timely comment on tyranny and cruelty.

‘Stop waiting. Just do your best – to put something into the world that wasn’t there yesterday. Forget just right, and try right now instead. You don’t have to know what you’re doing or how it will turn out. Just start.’

Maggie Smith, ‘Dear Writer’, on waiting to be ready to write

It's been another big month, including my first time volunteering at Wimbledon BookFest, which I loved.

I also worked on a variety of books and finished a CPD course with Small Business Britain.

November contains a history book and more CPD. I'm looking forward to it!

I’m volunteering at @wimbookfest.bsky.social this year. I’ve done my first two shifts this weekend and had huge fun, and discovered that it takes a lot of work to start an event half an hour after the previous one ended.

And that having a roving microphone is fun but also kind of scary!

Many thanks to @lisarandisi.bsky.social for a wonderful day at the Petrie Museum in London. First, a handling session, looking at ephemera – eg newspaper used to wrap an item during excavation.

Then I worked in the university library for a few hours. Then more ephemera this evening.

How about now?

Editors will know why this has got me excited. Can you see it?

Well that fixed it 😆

What a month! Two editing conferences (lots of learning and immense fun catching up with #edibuddies) and a bunch of archaeology texts.

October's looking just as busy, but in different ways. 😃

Two weeks ago, I'd just done the first day of @acesediting.bsky.social #VCon25. I went from that straight to Milton Keynes for @the-ciep.bsky.social #CIEP2025.

And then, because I wasn't tired enough, I went into London three times in four days – Starlight Express with Mum 🎉

Wonderful two weeks!

Thanks to everyone at @acesediting.bsky.social for a fantastic #VCon25. Oh yes these dates for 2026 have gone straight in the diary 🎉

Hope you all get a good rest this weekend.

Spacial Chat – wow!

Yes, I know in this pic I'm on my own – it didn't really seem fair to screen grab other people!

You walk around rooms or gardens and when you go near people you can talk to them – actually talk, not type in chat. It's a way of recreating coffee break chat online.

We're ready with a yellow toy to bat around the room and a fun frame to make us smile while we learn 😻

Thanks, Zoom – I might not have noticed I'd joined my own call otherwise! 😂
