It's hard to write about funerals, so suffice to say we said goodbye to Vince's mum today. The flowers were perfect for her cheerful optimism, and the words said showed just how deeply loved she was. We are exhausted right now 🥀💛

So, this is is what I've been getting up to over the past two years! This is book 1 of 'The Summer Realm' series: 'Secrets of Agents and Lies' 🖤 It's clever, funny, witty, sad, magic, and beautiful! Myself, Michael Wombat, Miranda Kate, and Victoria Pearson have put together this very original tale!

This is brilliant!

Mornin you lot. This week's vlog is all about Agents of Secrets and Lies, the first book in the Summer Realm series that I've been working on with @wombat37.bsky.social @purplequeenpub.bsky.social and @lisashambrook.bsky.social with fab cover art from @kiturnix.bsky.social youtu.be/KvV-MFPLaoM?...

Out having fun, played pool and had drinks. Life is lovely! 🥰🍸🖤

No. 1 in Steampunk. Yay us. #SummerRealm

The cover and pre-order link is here for the gorgeous, fun, and exciting first book in the Summer Realm series! Join me, @wombat37.bsky.social @purplequeenpub.bsky.social and @vspearson85.bsky.social and our protagonists as their stories weave together in a fight for survival 💙

I made a grid today as I sat in the warm sunlight. A Crystal Grid for Joy, Growth, and Connection Centred with a Crazy Lace Agate Moon for joy and optimism, surrounded by Acorn cups to offer strength and growth, and Moss Agate Towers for nature, abundance, and self-awareness.

NEW: Epstein survivors release the most powerful PSA I have ever seen. Make this go viral so every member of the House of Representatives sees it.

I love making pictures! A selection of my painting sketches, Kira our old German shepherd painted by Rayn, my attempt at the Welsh Dragon, and one of my crystal grids printed and framed 💚 #SundayPixPictures

Just watched Kathryn Bigelow's 'A House of Dynamite' on Netflix, an incredibly taut and high stakes movie with chilling credibility in the days that we live. What are the choices the governments of the world would consider and make with the sudden threat of a missile heading straight for them?

I hope she's doing just this 🖤

We all need to read things like this, daily 💙

David Allen Green: The BBC is right not to pay damages to Trump

I feel like utter, absolute, crappy shit, having got flu on top of a partial dislocated shoulder. I wish it was literally on top of my shoulder because I'd just flick it off, with the good hand on the good arm 🫩

So, it would only be me who managed to slip down several stairs at 3am and sublux my shoulder. The same shoulder I injured years ago doing the same thing! The crunch and pop in my shoulder as it slipped out of its socket and then back in again was horrific 😔

My Mother-in-law passed away a week ago, and today I caught Lewis Capaldi's 'Something in the Heavens' on my playlist and it made me tear up. So I wrote something. I left out a while to post, because I didn't want to invade their grief. My MIL was the strongest most passionate fighter I've known.

Always 💚🌿

If they only knew how to zoom in, they might just be able to make out the red poppy too....

We need to see posts like this 🐎🖤

We do not have a problem of unquenchable need. We have a problem of unquenchable greed.

Hi, I’m God. Jesus and I agree that starving the poor so you can build yourself golden bathrooms and golden ballrooms is evil. Anyone who does that shall burn for eternity. Thank you for your attention to this matter. Thanks, God

I hate how successive governments have allowed our dentist accessibility to get so inaccessible. None of our kids can afford to go to the dentist, so they don't, and just cross their fingers that they'll be okay. But when they're not, there's still nothing they can do. And I hate how we can't help 😔

I just want to curse and swear to high heaven, and I don't even believe in heaven anymore. Why does everything go wrong at the same time?

All the love to @wombat37.bsky.social and hopefully getting comfortable today x

This is the cake I was making yesterday, for Cait's birthday, while she was ice-skating on the Rockefeller ice rink in New York! We haven't eaten it yet, so well see if the red velvet thing worked later, when we have a slice! Please note the flakes of gold leaf which were tedious,but it's there! 🎂💛

Don't try to make a cake with cold butter... it'll break your arm 😔 Threw it out and started again after warming up the butter a bit. Trying to make a red velvet cake - bear in mind, I hate baking. It'll look better when it's decorated, that's the bit I like doing!

Really late to this week's #SundayPixBooks but I've got Book spine poetry, a literal book spine with a bat on it, and 'You are limitless'... never truer.

#Samhain #Halloween a time when it's said the veil between worlds is thin and we can honour those who've passed. Which feels very pertinent right now - my lovely mother-in-law passed away yesterday. A time of gratitude for all we have 🧡🖤

"I DON'T NEED YOU TO FUCKING REWRITE WHAT I'VE JUST WRITTEN!"

Most recent meet up with myself, Wombie, Miranda, and V to talk Summer Realm and pleaching... which we hope to unleash soon! These people make writing fun 🥰💙 Thank you for involving me, Wombie, love you! #SundayPixWombie #SundayPixWombat #SundayPixWombat37

Wombat, Alex, and I in Nottingham back in 2015. Wombie is a gorgeous man! Considered, and thoughtful, but also the life of the party. He is also a logophile, sesquipedalian, wordsmith, and beautifully erudite. It's an honour to write with him! 💙 #SundayPixWombie #SundayPixWombat #SundayPixWombat37

Several of us found we were wearing the same colour nail polish that writer's day in Nottingham, including @wombat37.bsky.social Peacock blue! #SundayPixWombie #SundayPixWombat #SundayPixWombat37

When we met up way back in 2015 to talk words and books! That's me, @purplequeenpub.bsky.social and @wombat37.bsky.social in the front row, and my oldest, Rayn, behind me with the antlers! #SundayPixWombie #SundayPixWombat #SundayPixWombat37

Had the best day with a friend I've known for years online! Met up with Jean in Cardiff, whilst she's on her European travels. We had a lot of fun walking and talking 🧡🍁🍂🌿😊

Another year around the sun done! 54 today, and I've had a lovely birthday weekend! Lots of fun with Vince, walks, birthday breakfast, chocolates, Lexi and Athena, playing pool, gifts, acorns, and a warm, sunny evening today 🖤

Rewarding my errands with a hot chocolate and lemon muffin in the park. And look! It's acorn and conker season! ☕️🌰 Plus... look at my new curiosity, a poison ring... silver sheen obsidian, but with a latch and a secret container behind the gem to store poison! 🖤💍🧪

America is currently a giant experiment to see how long we can keep stuffing a year's worth of news and outrage into every single day before everyone's heads explode

Time for my old ECHR Venn diagram, yet again.

The mystery of medical diagnosis!

Welcome, October! My most favourite month 💚🍄🍂✨️🔥🌰🍁🎃😊🧡

I just watched a squirrel stretching in a tree. It was cute. Like he was oblivious to the impending collapse of the free world. Stupid squirrel.

This is my church... 💚🌲🌿🍂 #SundayPixWorship

Waking up to your grandchildren... be like, let's lick your nose! 😂🐾💙

It got colder this evening... so I put a jumper on for the first time in months! I love jumper weather!

Paracetamol causing autism is the same as saying eating a Sunday roast causes autism... neither are true. Also, autism is not a disease that needs blame. We're just wired differently. There's nothing 'wrong' with us. Many of us have comorbid conditions, but our autism is okay.
