Sunday night just feels better after a good, long soak 🛁 🧼 🫧

Today's youtube video features an introduction to the book i have coming out *this* week. 'One Thousand and One Nights in Time and Space', which i wrote with my old friend, @stevecolewriter.bsky.social www.youtube.com/watch?v=h0_C...

This frontispiece in my book just made me laugh a lot. Is this Buddhist reincarnation, or some other form of afterlife?

It is 17:15. Parents have booked dinner for 17:45. In all likelihood they are already at the restaurant. At about 17:30 one of my parents will call to ask where I am.

❗️THIS FRIDAY A quiz with this lot seemed a good idea. But bet Victoria Coren Mitchell doesn’t put up with talk of men in joggers, dogging & rimming @frakturedboy.bsky.social @markdodyk.bsky.social @doodvid.bsky.social @dhollingsworth.bsky.social @jeffgoddard.bsky.social @mattsawyer.bsky.social

The Haunting of Vila Diodati

The one to pop my podcast cherry 🍒 And I hardly felt a thing. Quite proud of my small contribution in getting the 🐹 to 1000.

Despite being denied a proper coffee earlier, I do feel a great sense of accomplishment about making it to the gym at silly o’clock this morning.

Wanted a proper coffee from my favourite place this morning, as I got to the door a lady sprinted by me. Mustn’t come between a lady & her coffee if she needs it that badly so I let her go before me, thinking I’d only have to wait a little longer.

It's time for a trip to The Library of Impossible Things. This week I'm joined by the marvellous @grindrod.bsky.social for a chat about K9, about being a fan as an adult and how we should all embrace the things we love. But what object will he bring to The Library? Take a listen now!

Always splendid when I get the opportunity to see one of the people who live in my phone irl. Lovely ketchup with @johncrayment.bsky.social

Last night I uploaded a video to my YouTube channel that I made years ago and had been languishing in my archive. From a time before I found my style and my voice! A look at some of the edits made to First Doctor stories on VHS

This change in rules is already impacting my forthcoming biography of prolific Doctor Who writer and producer Terrance Dicks

Still can’t get over what a great day we had yesterday for the #DundeeKiltwalk Thank you everyone who kindly donated. My feet are going up today, and staying up 👣 www.justgiving.com/team/yardies...

#DundeeKiltwalk is done did. Such a fabulous event. www.justgiving.com/team/yardies...

Started watching #DarkShadows in lockdown. Making very slow progress 😂 Back to it after another long break!

This range has been an absolute treat. If you haven’t indulged, I would strongly recommend it.

Citizens of USA - be quick! When tariffs kick in, it will be very difficult to buy my pins. Best case they increase in price by 21% & worse case I will have to stop altogether. This could be your last chance! proudscience.etsy.com

Feeling ever so slightly frazzled so taken a half day. Managed a quick workout and now a good wallow on the sofa calls 🛋️

Can’t work out why facial recognition is struggling right now 🤔

I think @hairofthehound.bsky.social pulled an all nighter in Berlin 😂 😜

Spotted on my “wee” wander earlier … 🤖

Final training walk before The Big One next week 👟 😮‍💨 #DundeeKiltwalk www.justgiving.com/team/yardies...

Got quite sweaty this morning. Not managed to pluck up the nerve to do other things in the gym quite yet but know I’ll get there. Not a bad view outside the gym to appreciate afterwards.

Lovely to bump into you @gjpmcd.bsky.social

My neighbours have an uncanny knack of getting louder on the very nights where I’d benefit enormously from oodles of shush.

Second day at the gym. So far it has been alright. Floof-o-meter detected a workout had taken place. May be confident enough to risk the treadmill next time.

After *MUCH* procrastination and anxiousness, I set foot in a gym for the first time in years. Got a bit sweaty and am now sat at my desk like, “WTAFITA?!”

“The weather looks pretty good out there considering there’s a weather warning out. Quick wander should be fine. Oh, wait … there isn’t normally a tree in the middle of that footbridge. Ah. Best go home.”
