Went to Canterbury today. Came across this view while walking near the Marlowe Theatre. Stunning colours. #Canterbury #Kent

The thunderstorm has arrived.

Weather forecasters warning of thunderstorms tonight.

The Sun finally made an appearance this afternoon. From out of the blue sky a Spitfire barrel-rolled over Dover Castle. Stirred the blood.

What moves me about Pope Francis's passing is that, even though he was gravely ill, he still found the strength to bless the crowds on Easter day. That is the measure of the man. To put duty and love of God and people above all else.

Happy Easter everyone.

Haircut time again. Milan Barbershop, as usual. Best barbers in Dover.

The Few are now all gone. With the passing of John Hemingway the heroism of the Battle of Britain pilots passes into memory. #RIP

Wonderful sunny day here today. Apparently the UK has been hotter than Ibiza or Amalfi. Glorious.

Walked down to the esplanade for some sea air, the first time in over a week. Still coughing, though. This lurg just will not let go.

Ventured out for the first time in five days. This lurg is a really nasty bug. Glad it's finally giving up. 🤧

Got the dreaded lurg today. Coughing, sneezing and wheezing. Horrible. 🤧

Finished Indiana Jones and the Great Circle. Surprisingly enjoyable game. Wasn't expecting it to be so much fun. Lots to do, aside from the main quests. Especially enjoyed the detailed maps around the Vatican and Castel d'Angelo. Overall, great fun.

My book cover commissions are officially open again! I handpaint vivid, colourful, pulpy covers for indie authors (including myself). Here's an example of my style. I'm open now for Feb commissions, reasonably priced, very approachable. Full wrap etc Contact me: gemmaamorauthor.com/illustration...

Still maintain that his Dune was the best version. A visionary in every way. RIP David Lynch.

I am devastated - David Lynch’s films meant everything to me, changed me, let me see the impossible, made me an artist. There will never again be a voice like his. I am gutted about the films we won’t see now, but so grateful for the body of work he left us. It was enough. It will never be enough.

Unsolicited writing advice, no. #55234567: You don’t have to write for a living to be a writer. You don’t have to be a great writer to be a writer. You don’t have to write full time to be a writer. All you have to do is write.

My birthday today. 🎂 Popped into Canterbury for some sale shopping, the city now thankfully devoid of the Christmas markets and crowds.

Thoughts go out to all those affected by the LA fires. Horrible watching it on TV over here.

Happy New Year everyone! 🎉

Helicopter's been buzzing around for a while now. Something's afoot on the Western Heights. #Dover

Merry Christmas to One and All! 🎄

Haircut today. The excitement never stops.

Wind strengthening outside. Stay safe everyone. Heed those red warnings. #StormDarragh

I know I should have been writing, but this is top-tier procrastination.

Watched a tour of the restored interior of Notre-Dame on the news. Really impressed by what they've done. Going to be emotional for Parisians when it opens next week.

Happy Thanksgiving to all across the pond.

The account peterfhamilton(dot)bsky.social is a fake - Peter’s confirmed to me he’s not on this site. Please report.

Just watched the Star Trek short Unification. Wow. More emotion in just 8 minutes than most bloated blockbusters. A mini masterpiece.

Storm Bert still raging outside.

No snow here yet, but the forecast shows its creeping down the country. Looks like it'll be a good day tomorrow to get some writing done.

Bracing walk along the esplanade today. First time I've seen blue sky in days. Probably not coincidence, but this is my first day here as well. #Dover

Hi, it seems that everyone is introducing themselves. I'm Chris and for 30 years was an English teacher. Now happily retired I'm rediscovering the joys of writing. First novel, STARFIRE, out now. Currently revising the second. Live in the south east of England and wander the White Cliffs.
