This #OzzyOsbourne show on @bbc1 is off-the-scale good. The love between him and Sharon is heart-melting

Let #SpookySeason commence! #OctoberVibes

Thrilling moment for me alert!! My publisher @bonnierbooks.bsky.social is announcing the title and cover of my debut #crimecosy novel tomorrow ( oh yes I am THRILLED!!)

Dunno about you but I’d much rather receive a #JohnLewis voucher for my birthday #JustSayin

So, I’ve just learned that tapping the up arrow on my iPhone keyboard means I can type in CAPITALS much quicker and now I feel #epic. But also a bit dim as I didn’t know this before. Any other #KeyboardTipsForSimpletons that you want to lay on me?!

Undermine? Devastate, more like. It’s #WallStreet that will do for the orange one

Nice Chat With The Vampire #mildhorror

I’ve literally become obsessed with this field #FieldOfDreams looks like a weird prairie

Can I just say that the way people in the UK access - or, more pertinently, DON’T access #ClinicalTrials is frankly pitiable. There is literally no one to help you or advise and assist with finding a suitable trial.

Ooh Mr @markgatissjp.bsky.social your #Bookish is wonderful! 5 mins in and loving it #Books #Writing #Bookshops

Cutting "red tape" (aka public protections), as Reeves is doing, does not save money. Instead, it transfers costs from the rich to the poor. Other people pay for financial recklessness, filthy rivers, air pollution, lax building standards and consumer rip-offs. www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

Not so much @bsky.app as cloudy sky. But I’m sure today’s weather is not bothering His Majesty whose flag is flying above #Windsor #RoyalStandard - wonderful lunch with @ronalicollings.bsky.social too! #WritingLife #Writing

Without a doubt, I was WAY better off under President Biden than I am under trump. He dug us out of trump's disaster, created millions of jobs, did infrastructure, and did it all without chaos! How about YOU?

If you write for a living you need this!

Just strode into the kitchen in the manner of #FreddieMercury on #LiveAid40

Proud to say that buying washing pods from @smol means I’ve saved the plastic weight of three #barnowls from going to landfill. This is probably less paltry than it sounds #PlasticFree

It will be a goodie!

It is 39°C in Lisbon today. The same in Madrid. In Paris next week it will also be 39°C. Look at this picture. People are under trees, where it can be up to 12°C cooler. Given trees take decades to mature and many don’t survive, cities need to plant many more street trees. And urgently.

Work pay for Google Earth Pro access. When I don't feel like doing my job I look up Right of Way/Right to Roam routes and see if anyone has blocked access to more obscure ones. Then I complain to the local council just to cause the land owner a headache. Kills a bit of time.

At a narrow bridge I noticed the car flashing me through had an reg ending in LBW. Rather than giving the standard hand raise of thanks, I gave an umpire single finger "out" signal. They replied with a 4 runs arm wave. One of the greatest human interactions of my life.

Are you a journalist? Then you need this newsletter! That is all.

Dear #BrianWilson you gave us some of the greatest music we’ll ever hear. Thanks for giving so much, thanks for everything

Beginning to think I hate ‘summer’ and its cold, damp, way too dark-skied days. Now wearing three layers, plus fluffy socks and eyeing up the wood burner

#Libraries are the most soothing of places. But I do feel a bit sorry for authors whose surnames are at the end of the alphabet and therefore the back of the library!

Will @channel4news.bsky.social stop talking about sewage spills, vis-a-vis the #ThamesWater fine. It was for deliberate sewage DISCHARGE not spills

#ThamesWater and it’s mahoosive fine, then. They literally are a #ShowerOfShite
