I don’t have recurring dreams but I do have recurring places in dreams… last night it was a hotel I often dream about… not a real place I’ve ever been, in fact not a place that could exist really. It has many notable features one of which is The Bathroom

April is a great producer, fantastic woman and all round good egg… get her voted for!

Watching Death on the Nile, Simon McCorkindale’s nostrils deserve an Oscar of their own!

In my past I used to do massively long Improv shows, one of the features of which was you would keep to one character and they would often have a puntastic name... I don't to improvathons anymore (too old, too grumpy) but just got a great name if I ever did an army one... General Tomfoolery!

You know British sitcoms get weird when you think one about time travel bigamy was fake, made up for an Iris Wildthyme book.

I keep seeing pictures of the young lad in the wizard show around the place... for some reason he looks like a de-aged Peter Kay to me.

Today I did a drawing of an owl that looks like it wants to ask you out for a fight.

The second Queen from my alternate pack of cards that I’m designing this is The Sycamore Hare Queen…. A Much more beneficent monarch than her eight limbed sister. She is married to the north wind and high priestess of the moon and three sisters

I'm working on a card game that could absolutely be played with a normal everyday set of cards... but thematically it would be lovely if they were slightly strange so I've been working on these... I present our antagonist The Quene of Thorney Gossamer (I'm not sure about the archaic spelling)

Small Prophets was lovely, hard going in places for me just because of the dementia side but ultimately beautiful... also one of my Pupils in the last episode!

This is lovely… it got me thinking tho, which uk children’s show theme should be covered by which artist? youtu.be/e3o5FIXoK84?...

For those of you on the run up to the UK tax return deadline... You've got this! I believe in you!

Steven.., you had me worried!!!! #thetraitors #traitorsuk

What did Roxy do when she opened the traitors envelope in the castle for them not to show it on uncloaked? She must have kicked the chair through the wall! #traitors #roxy

So, my mum had dementia. It was nasty and horrible, took away the best bits of her and left all the frightened nasty bits there. I got used to seeing certain facial expressions that would indicate a paranoid or frightened outburst. Watching Trump I see those same expressions.

Had a little cry at this wonderful play by my friend @paulmagrs.bsky.social . @bafflegabble.bsky.social have done a brilliant job of bringing this clever script to life and James Bowlam and Louise Jameson are treasures in it too! Go listen! www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/m...

I do kind of want to know which is Elon's favourite 'Carry on' film is.

Coined the phrase “tighter than a toddlers fist holding on to a cheese string” just now… pretty proud of it tbh… will try to use it in conversation tomorrow.

Looking forward to seeing how this guy turns out!

What you looking at?

I’ve made a pretty little star map puzzle for a thing I’m doing… I’ll put the text clue in the reply’s if you want to have a go… it’s one of the simpler puzzles in the set and just supposed to be an Aha! Moment.

I've got a back to the future detectorists print with a dent/tear at the bottom, free to a randomly selected good home. Follow/Like/Repost/Reply to be in with a chance of getting it.

Is anyone a puzzle fan? I'm looking for people to be testers for something I'm putting together... it would just be the odd a4 head scratcher to have a go at... apply below x #puzzles #escaperoom #games 🧩

Reading @sachacoward.bsky.social Queer as Folklore in the dappled sunlight of a tree. Lovely way to spend an afternoon.

Just seen a headline “benefits u-turn may haunt Prime minister” and I just thought, not exactly M. R. James is it?

I’m loving Glastonbury but I’d love a Musical Theatre stage… like just imagine after Buster Rhymes the cast of Phantom get up and belt out a few numbers… or The 1975 supported by Death Becomes Her… it would be brilliant

Just stopping off at a services… nothing weird might happen here will it? #magnusprotocol #tmp #tma

And here it is… the line up for Party like it’s 1998 and I’m in VERY good company!

This! I’ve got a story in this wonderful thing… sentient hydrangeas, ghostly children and sassy pensioners!

I’m a contributor to this brilliant book of Doctor Who short stories! Available for preorder now! #booksky #writing #doctorwho #obversebooks 💙📚 obversebooks.co.uk/product/part...

I have a joke about Cassandra. You won’t believe how funny it is.

Me too Jamaican Ginger Cake… me too!

Someone I know and have shared a stage with has just won a Tony Award... it's taken me a day to process this...

Is it possible to “Get her Jade!” For both sides?

My manifesto for Doctor Who -more chumblies -Kate Bush to write a sequel to Snakedance -the TARDIS to keep getting smaller over the course of the season and no one say anything (actually that’s a good idea) -Sarah Paulson and Gillian Anderson in Happiness Patrol spinoff (again that’s a good idea!)

Today’s random line that may or may not stay in the story I’m writing, “Charlie Dimmock’s very own El Dorado.”

I do enjoy editing…. Crossing out, reshaping, refining. Do it with a quick stroke and it hardly hurts at all!

Last night I dreamt that Big Finish had commissioned me to do a range of audio dramas based on the TV show Animal Magic. 1/3

In other news I’m ploughing my way through the first draft of a very exciting short story… it (at the moment) contains the line, “I’m getting ate by a bloody Hydrangea, Doris!” #writing #booksky 📚💙

I’ve been having a kind of a moment where I don’t think i deserve the happy moment I’m having in my life now… I recognise this is a hang up from having the mum I had but it’s still a bigger even though I know what it is.

Say what you like about religion etc… that new pope smell is something else.

Interesting writing news for me today… the kind where you can vague-post about it but then say “I’ll let you know more when I can” So… I’ll let you know when I can

The latest scene in the book I’m writing took a turn when a minor character started acting oddly… I was as just noticing a tone in his dialogue that interested me and I allowed it to amplify into an incident.

I’ve not been talking about the book I’m writing a lot lately, mainly because I have slowed down a little. I’m guessing that I’m about in the middle of the book right now and I had to pick my way carefully through a couple of scenes, but it’s still chugging along #booksky #writing 📚💙
