This podcast was so much fun! Do give it a listen, particularly if you want to know how I bounced back from being dumped by my first publisher. Spoiler: I did write a bestseller, eventually.... but not for them!

Every Move You Make is just £4.70 in an Amazon promotion, but only for a limited time. Four friends, who meet in an online stalking support group, decide to place trackers on each other's stalkers to keep themselves safe. It doesn't go to plan... www.amazon.co.uk/Every-Move-Y...

Back from Greece and, as well as visiting lots of archaeological sites and going canoeing, I found the time to read The Wasp Trap by @markedwardsauthor.bsky.social I absolutely loved it. Six friends who worked on a dating website in the 90s reunite with deadly consequences. A gripping page-turner.

'Motherland meets The Staircase' Can the school gate mums be trusted? Is Jude really sleeping with a man who murdered his two previous wives? There's only one way to find out... 👇

I’ve loved every book by @callytaylor.bsky.social and this one was no exception. It’s Always the Husband is twisty, gripping, and completely addictive. There was something deliciously gossipy yet unsettling about it all. Such a great book! #booksky #books

I'm very late to the party but I loved this one. Here's my review of The Guilty Couple by @callytaylor.bsky.social: portable-magic.com/2025/04/01/c...

I was listening to the @ukpageone.bsky.social podcast interview with @bpwalter.bsky.social as I was unstacking the dishwasher and it was so fascinating I ended up wiping down all the cabinets and mopping the floor so I could continue listening. Thanks guys, I have a clean kitchen now. 😆

My mum's not on BlueSky so I can share what I made tonight, for Mother's Day. Wire aperture and felt. Made it based on a sheep photo found on Google - no kit, no instructions. Quite proud of myself 😁

Chuffed to bits. One reviewer called it, 'Big Little Lies meets Desperate Housewives'. I reckon there's a bit of 'The Staircase' thrown in there too. And 'Motherland'. If it sounds like your sort of thing click Bert's link below 👇

Son and I did that thing where you put your face in the snow on a car to leave impressions of your face. Snow wasn't deep enough and son (left) looks like the Grinch. 😆

Crocheted a cactus 😁

Just watched Blink, a documentary about a couple from Montreal who have four children. Three of them have a degenerative eye condition so they take them on a year long trip around the world to create 'visual memories'. Incredibly moving, in so many ways. On National Geographic/Sky.

First lake swim of the year DONE. A balmy 7.7⁰C 😆
