Mrs Gadz and I had a great time at the Keynsham Music Festival this weekend. My favourites: the Keynsham Show Choir, who were completely brilliant, and Bristol band Wakey Wakey Rise & Shione, who were also completely brilliant and possibly the loudest sound in the West of England 😆🤘

That's me about half way down the page! 😀 #horrorbooks #booksky 💙📚 #authors #writingcommunity #horror

Here's some pics of my trip to explore the Victorian vaults underneath the western side of the @brunelsbridge.bsky.social in Bristol. They were part of the original structure by Isambard Kingdom Brunel, then promptly lost to history until their rediscovery in 2002!

Asda Mobile website and app do not work. Round and round in circles. Just do not work. Do. Not. Effin. Work. So, no phone. Think I've had enough of this year already.

Saw #TheSubstance last night. Oh. My. Gaaard. Absolute bloomin' genius. Just don't see it after you've eaten...

Writers, this is your annual reminder if you’re not on any of those ‘books of the year’ list, or if you didn’t get published, or didn’t get an agent, you still wrote a fucking book which is a big deal. Well done us.

Fellow writers, is it just me who feels really upset by reviews which deduct a star or two 'cos the book "wasn't what I expected"...? Isn't being surprised half the fun of reading new stories? No? #booksky 💙📚 #authors #writingcommunity
