The only season worth baking for…..

Morning from the lane….

#hogdoodle for charity. It’ll be auctioned off in the autumn by @zodidog.bsky.social so if you want the one off original it can be yours. Hedgehog. Gel ink on white card.

If you don't know what's going on with anti-trans stuff in the UK, read this. If you're similarly disgusted with the way anti-trans people have gotten away with demonising and assaulting an innocent minority, send this to your friends, family and MP to demand change. They won't stop with us.

Road trip…..

We ran out of hash browns today so I obviously used it as an excuse to make potato smiley faces again. Made them bigger this time though….

My Totally Booked podcast with Zibby is live here! podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/j...

Annual show off your fancy dress and husband when he was a little younger day photos…

I wrote something for @lithub.com.web.brid.gy about VIANNE and returning to the world of CHOCOLAT, 25 years later... lithub.com/returning-to...

Suggestions for a ‘big’ birthday gift for a pal. Struggling for ideas because she has no taste following cancer treatments and I also understand that spa type treatments aren’t advised until 6 months after treatment…. HELP

I’ve just bought this for my cats. I will now sit down and think about what I’ve become.

Ridiculously excited to report that I’ve made some potato smiley faces at work….

I'm sorry, but genetic engineering is getting out of hand.

Ted pulling his best pirate face ….

Just sent off the final edits for my new folk-horror book (out in 2026). No official title or jacket yet, but these are a few things you'll find inside...

How cool is this sculpture at Bratislava?

Have a random swollen elbow! Hurts like hell. Haven’t bumped it or injured it. Feels like the swelling is a buildup of fluid in the area ….. managed to get an appointment to see nurse practitioner later on today 🤷🏻‍♀️

Just how cute is the book exchange at Pezinok ….

Pre breakfast coffee in Pezinok…

Hey, as a librarian I need to tell you: Our funding depends on usage. So go ahead and check out that book even if you don't think you'll finish it. No one will know. Check out that DVD even though you might not like it. Get ambitious in your quest for knowledge.

Unsolicited writing advice, no: 216: RESEARCH. If you're writing about a time, place, culture, historical figure, profession, etc., it pays to research it properly. That might mean: reading; travelling; going to libraries and museums; consulting archives; talking to people with lived experience.

Oh, almost forgot to warn you lovely SundayPixies that tomorrow's #SundayPix theme will be "Vehicle". Our hashtag will be #SundayPixVehicle. Have fun, kids.

Morning from the lane…

Baby alpha born at work today 🥰🥰

Last night’s shenanigans in the soft release pen! One of them is now up to weight for release this evening 💪🏻 🦔

It’s my birthday! I’ve had a breakfast of crisps and cheese ( leftovers from yesterday’s birthday picnic) I win at birthday breakfasts 😜

Can find 3 of my 5 a day on the lane 🤪🤪🤪

“Huh what do you mean I have to make my own bed now?” Booted out into soft release pen …. Basically try your best not to 💩 in your bed spiky one 🙄

Ozzy Osbourne visited my magic shop. He said he'd like to buy some stink bombs. How many? All of them. I had to go through drawers finding every last one. He bought 900 of them. To sign the credit card slip I handed him a shock pen, which he thought was hilarious and bought that too. RIP

One for @rachelwardbooks.bsky.social

First sniff of almost freedom for my foster poopers! Booted them out into an outdoor soft release pen. Hopefully they’ll thrive and be able to be released into the wild within the week 🙏🏻

I’m trying to reason with the foster poopers 🦔🦔🦔 to keep the water dish a 💩 💩 💩 free zone! Considering giving them a second water dish as a bidet 🤔🤔🤪

6:30 am work view….

Held a meeting with new cheffy guy and 3 peacocks walked by! Note to self * hold meetings in doors as less distractions *

Morning from the lane….

Birthday plans for next week scuffled and I suddenly remember why I don’t like arranging stuff anymore 😩

When your first visitor arrives 5 minutes before the automatic food dispenser dispenses 😩🥺🙄🤷🏻‍♀️

People I have been entrusted with THREE new foster poopers 🦔🦔🦔. Meet Gavin, Smithy and Lesley.

Catered for a wedding yesterday. Didn’t get a pic of the main buffet as colleagues opened the buffet 10 mins early 🙄🤦🏻‍♀️

Hello fren
