And yes, NotMyCat has been taking full advantage of my soft-heartedness, and hogging both the fan and my favourite armchair

In case no one has mentioned it yet, it is hotter than Satan's arsehole after vindaloo night and I am not OK with it

NotMyCat appears to be making himself fully at home on my sofa

It's always when I am most exhausted that I get all the creative ideas. Must glue myself to the sofa today and not make All The Things

My new neighbour's cat is a friendly chap. I like giving him a fuss when I see him out and about. Do think it's a bit cheeky of him to sneak into my house while I'm bringing the shopping in and make himself at home on my sofa tho!

I'm just now learning you can post video on bluesky! Although I'm not sure this is sized quite right. Here is the link to hop on over to youtube and see the whole thing ❤️ youtu.be/2WdIwBrsBK0?...

In the grand scheme of things this isn't important but I am right irked that I paid for next day delivery on Wednesday, waited in 12 hours on Thursday, and they said today that I am not getting my parcel til Monday (12 hour delivery slot) but also can't get a refund on my delivery charges

In case you were wondering, a mini skateboard is NOT a suitable substitute for a step ladder when doing DIY. I've done the practical research so you don't have to.

Do you wanna come to Hamburg with me? ✈️🇩🇪 youtu.be/2WdIwBrsBK0?...

I am right knackered lads. This week I have been doing a lot of physical stuff and I am very not used to it. Let's hope the arm ache doesn't turn into baggy shoulder again.

My daughter has had her first academic article published! She really does have a whole head full of brains ❤️ more.efpsa.org/rpblog/2026/...

Had a little potter around the shops and did some junk journalling and I am starting to feel recovered after my trip to Hamburg

Tomorrow I am leaving the uk for the first time since 1999 and even though I know everything will be perfectly fine, I still feel super nervous

All three of The Summer Realm books are now available! Four heroes, four quests, one mission: to save the Summer Realm! #DarkFantasy #EpicFantasy #SteampunkFantasy books.bookfunnel.com...#DarkFantasy#EpicFantasy💙📚👀🪐📢📚

They should do mini eggs that are chicken egg sized and called maxi eggs

Love this video from @vspearson85.bsky.social Definitely worth remembering. youtu.be/uYo7aNscEwk?...

Nearly finished this wonderful book. Looking forwards to the next two in the series. Brilliant world, fascinating characters and epic adventures. Hugely entertaining. @wombat37.bsky.social @purplequeenpub.bsky.social @lisashambrook.bsky.social @vspearson85.bsky.social

What a beautiful world the four of us made @purplequeenpub.bsky.social @lisashambrook.bsky.social #GNUWombie

I'm so ridiculously proud of the ##SummerRealm books. I wish Wombie had been here to see the final installment stallment released last week, I know he would be too ❤️📚 books.bookfunnel.com/summerrealm

I have had a very busy start to 2026. Might have to actually schedule some do nothing time soon.

What's the perfect gif for your Bluesky persona?

Very grateful for the little community I have built on youtube, because i was nervous about today's video, and the comments have been unanimously nice ❤️ youtu.be/_coSozgFLhY

It has literally taken me over a week to recover from my trip to Manchester, but I would absolutely go again. youtu.be/C0TSdyUvTkc?...

The other day I read a chapter from Agents of Secrets and Lies, book 1 of the #SummerRealm trilogy, on youtube. Why not grab a cuppa and a blanket and have a listen? 📚 youtu.be/II_YfUYXukE

My plan for today (my day off): little walk in the sunshine, then carry on my knitting project. what I actually did: dismantled and disposed of 2 wardrobes (one double), helped daughter rearrange her furniture, stacked all the scrap wood up neatly and hoovered after. Related: ow.

Where do my ladies over 40 do their clothes shopping? Because it can't be in any of the places I went today.

Turns out Beyond Burgers are really yummy and also not a textural nightmare, yay

Thanks all for your birthday wishes, you are the sweetest 💗

It's my birthday tomorrow! And release day of Savage Invasion, the second installment of the steampunk fantasy spectacle that is the #SummerRealm trilogy 📚 So if you'd theoretically buy me a drink for my birthday, maybe snag yourself a copy while it's on a low price intro offer? 😘 mybook.to/SRSavage

Aft'noon you lot. I had a little chat with a lovely lady named Anne Leatherland, who taught me how to make my voice heard over a crowd. We ended up doing some very strange things with straws in a public library, as one does. youtu.be/ikb8CWGKDMU

Just two more weeks until Book Two is here! Don't forget to preorder it while it is at the discounted price! #Booksky

A beautiful book just arrived (ordered via Amazon) Thank you @purplequeenpub.bsky.social @vspearson85.bsky.social Lisa Shambrook And with tears in my eyes @wombat37.bsky.social

Idk how to do polls here (can you even do polls here?) but I've just put one on youtube. Please vote and settle an argument at home! youtube.com/post/UgkxF_L...

I can't be too present on here right now because this is the chatty app and I have stuff I can't chat about until all the eggs are in the basket and I have no self control whatsoever. The eggs are on their way to the basket though so i will be back soon.

Two years ago @wombat37.bsky.social pulled myself, @purplequeenpub.bsky.social & @vspearson85.bsky.social together and we wrote three books. Now, with the gorgeous art from @kiturnix.bsky.social the books are out there for you to love as much as we do! We hope you will 🖤 share.google/bNTtRpjkmz1F...

Early warning time for #SundayPix Today is bright and sunny but so much of the winter is grey and dull, and we need light. It could be natural, artificial, or your favourite lampshade, just brighten everyone's day please. Use #SundayPixLight

Spent much of today cleaning out cupboards and rearranging my kitchen. Think I needed to feel in control of something, and junk drawers and cluttered cupboards are something I can create order out of where once there was chaos

Hanging on to your infant sibling's carry cot so it doesnt slide off the parcel shelf while driving round corners

Today we say goodbye to the very best of us, and we will all feel his loss for many years to come. Over the last 2 years especially, he had become one of my closest confidants and dearest friends, and I will greatly miss his wisdom and comfort. Mind how you go, mate. You'll always be fridge to me.

While cleaning the fridge i dropped one of the glass shelves and shattered it everywhere. This proves that: A) I should've stayed in bed today And B) cleaning is a dangerous endeavour that should be left to qualified professionals only

Woke up to a smell in my house, so I cleared the decs away to locate the source and it turns out the Christmas tree has been leaking on the carpet for three weeks and it stinks like wet dog. Will I have to take the carpet up? (It is about 15 years old but i cant afford a new one 😭)

#SundayPixWobjects The little #twanta gifts dotted around my home will always make me think of Wom working so hard spreadsheet wrangling to bring joy to others, and how far those ripples of joy spread out into the world. He was such a remarkable man, and they're a reminder always try to #BeMoreWom

I haven't quite finished yet (need to do the legs, tail, and eyes) but I have been learning to crochet this wombat, so perfect share for #SundayPixWobjects Project cry count: 4, but only 2 hysterically, and one of those was when the yarn got all tangled so I'm not sure it counts.

I now have a potato shaped body and I only cried thrice (and one of those was just now, trying to detangle the stupid yarn for the next stage, so I'm not sure that counts)

Happy New Year (when it comes) you lot! 🥳 A blessing for 2026: May you never hunger May you never thirst May you feel enough joy to carry you through the worst May your home be prosperous And your hearth be warm And may you be blessed with courage To make your dreams take form

Savage Invasion, book two of the Summer Realm series is now available for pre-order, at a discounted price mybook.to/SRSavage 💙📚👀📢📚 #SteampunkFantasy #NewRelease

And here it is - the cover for Book Two of the Summer Realm series! Savage Invasion is available for pre-order now at a third off! mybook.to/SRSavage 💙📚👀📢📚 #SteampunkFantasy #NewRelease

My daughter has been (very patiently) teaching me to crochet. I think its coming along quite well so far - tho I've only done 8 rows so still a long way to go.

This has made me cry. #GNUWombie purplequeennl.blogspot.com/2025/12/q-wi...
