There are 320 beans and 8 mini sausages in a tin of Heinz Beans & Sausage. Good morning.

Wide awake since 3am. This sucks

Morning kids. Raining heavily. Dogwalking postponed for an hour. Tea in bed, oh yes

This is my backyard, my village, my parish. Rushcliffe Borough Council is due to make a critical decision based on missing information they previously said was required

You want to see how Mikey the rescue is doing? He's running up that hill

Shut up about the flags, says local politician who spent £75k putting in just 164 flags nobody wanted and nobody needed, while the roads have become more uneven and potholey than when the romans built some of them

Finding the words flowing extremely well on the Fantasy project under the influence of old-school Genesis (Foxtrot, Nursery Cryme, etc)

The knight stood, triumphant, over the prostrate dragon. He raised his sword high above his head and- "I wouldn't if i were you" The voice was in his head. Confused, he glanced around. A black cat was cleaning a paw, casually nearby. He raised the sword again. "Are you REALLY, really sure?" /1

This list has strong dad vibes

Good Lord

'Bathed in Gold' Taken shortly after sunrise this morning, walking down from Glastonbury Tor. I can never resist just one more photograph before I leave.

For World Book Day I might dress as an author on a deadline and spend all day on Bluesky

Paternal. Coal face collier. Started work underground at 14. Died from the dust Maternal. Colliery engineer. Killed in a shaft explosion

The SA bowling was absolutely torn apart. We've not seen anything like this since we went on a game safari in the Kruger National Park and something went terribly wrong.

David Attenborough [whispering]: “As the predators close in on their helpless prey, we can only watch in silent horror, for it is not man’s role to interfere in the hierarchy of nature.”

Well, it's Wednesday evening so I am sitting in the car in a sketchy area of Nottingham/Broxtowe. But, unusually, I have 2 of the spaniels with me

If I'd rushed into a poorly planned campaign around a notorious maritime choke point that left it closed to friendly shipping I'd carefully lay off the Churchill comparisons, but hey...

Loving a film because it's bad is good, therefore the ying and yang is balanced. Can't comment on Spec Fic for Newbies 3, but I'm reading Spec Fic for Newbies 1, and it's not too shabby

Not all heroes, etc

Kuwaiti air defences seem to be operating at optimum

Try not to get too excited but I have washing out on the line

If a batter is repeatedly time wasting, the umpires should be able to intervene and offer a 'free bowl' for the bowler at the unprotected stumps. A bit like a free hit but bowler friendly. Finally.

That's how medical advice works, you self involved cretin. Good Lord, the cluckbait is getting pathetic now

I'm going with "Because the designer specified 4 engines and then drew the designs that way too"

🎶"Heathcliff, it's me, I'm Cathy, I've come home. I'm so cold. Let me in-a-your window"🎶

My English wife made these today. They're brilliant!

After a dog incident at 2330, I've been laying here for the last 2 hours getting more and more frustrated at the lack of sleep. Fuck it, I'm getting up. At least I'll do something positive instead of getting annoyed

My good and gentle folks, I had a solid night's sleep. It's rained heavily, it is not currently. I have tea, and spaniel cuddles, and there will be dogwalking soon.. My corner of the world is all good right now. How are you doing?

Holy Cow! There's a free email newsletter coming out in a couple of weeks? And you can get ahead of the pack and subscribe to it right here: brennigjones.com/newsletter-2/ ? (Warning, the newsletter will contain gratuitous spaniel content - and freebies!)

This morning's dogwalking will be very wet 🌧️🌧️🌧️🌧️🌧️

The local Green WhatsApp group will be humming today. I might unmute it

I'm editing singlehandedly, the editorial team of Mavis spaniel (on my left) and Mikey spaniel (on my right) are both asleep

Well done the Greens

Beano cat got himself shut in the garage overnight. There will no doubt be cat shit all over my motorbike, and a trail of destruction in there. He's a right vindictive bastard is Beano cat

Anyway, the dogs and I are up I've booked an eye test and now I'm making tea. Go me!

I don't know if it's my tinnitus or I can hear heavy rain

Chewie is now fast asleep and snoring in my ear

BTW, today's lunchtime treat was an episode of Buffy. It didn't end well. Joyce died

It's Wednesday evening so I'm sitting in my car on a residential road in an alien part of Nottingham for an hour, not looking sus at all

My editor, who worked on my last 3 novels, is taking a break due to very recent childbirth. If anyone has suggestions for a sympathetic editor for a c. 72k-word project, please let me know. Thanks

Haahaha

Hello. I have 3 sleeping spaniels on me, a 4th is patrolling the bedroom, waiting for me to get up. I have no idea where the 5th one is

Wow!

Just a reminder, if you've got 5 minutes to spare this evening and you'd like to read something darkish/sadish...
