Today will be a writing day. And, of course, trying some more quality Croatian wine - which may help the writing process 😀 🙂 #amwriting #Croatianwine

Dubrovnik. Very nice sparkling Croatian rose with a little snack. I am very much enjoying the wine here. #Croatia #Dubrovnik #Croatianwine

View from our hotel room last night. Simply gorgeous. Off to Dubrovnik Old Town later. Kings Landing, here we come! #Croatia #Holiday #GOT

What is it about hotel corridors... #spooky #horrormovie

Today is World Suicide Prevention Day. I’m in Leeds with Baton of Hope, campaigning to raise awareness of suicide and prevent further deaths. I’m walking to promote Alice’s story and the particular risks facing trans people. I haven’t been fundraising but Peter has. If you’ve any spare pennies…

Check out the amazing creepy stories published today by the @horrortree.com, including my drabble - Burning Knowledge. #am writing #drabbles #horror

Dear Home Bargains, why? Why? Halloween decorations on one side of the store. On the other side - Christmas decorations. Seriously, what the actual fuck. It's still August! #Christmas #Halloween #shopping

On my way back to Manchester. Currently at Euston station. I'm so glad I don't live in London anymore. Pleasant weekend, quite a lot of wine, and I have managed to write a 5k story, which is fairly creepy. Now, I just need to decide what the hell to do with it! 😄 #am writing #headingNorth

Vineyard and brewery tour today. Apparently, 140 vineyards in Sussex! First stop - Bluebird Vineyard. Had a lovely sparkling Ruby- Merlot grape. #vineyards #wine #holiday #beer

2nd vineyard - Highweald. Lovely Brut Reserve and Brut Rose. It's getting warmer, and we have Red Kites over the vines. Having a lovely chilled day. #vineyard #wine #Sussex #Holiday

Denniker Farm Shop and restaurant. Very pleasant lunch and a nice loca hazyl ale from the 360 brewery. 2nd vineyard of the day next - High Wield. #Sussex #beer #holiday #vineyard

I'm heading off for another weekend away. Brighton this time. Plenty of writing time on the trains, which will be nice. My breakfast at Carlucchios Manchester Piccadilly Station. Yes, it's early for a Bellini, but I need that to cope with over 2 hours on Avanti. #writing #trains #cocktails

Prestwich Pride cocktail created for me at Panama Hattys in Prestwich. My favourite writing bar. Vodka raspberry liquor, water melon, and guava. It's not as sweet as it sounds. Next stop - writing. Should be interesting! #PrestwichPride #LGBTQ+ #Pride #writing

trans knights stickers are now back in stock! 💙🤍🌸⚔️ nooskaart.etsy.com/listing/4299...

Goodnight from Evie Strand, not sure why she is so disappointed to discover a club called Dracula’s Castle is monstrous for all the wrong reasons. Goodnight from Peggy Croxton, wondering if there’s a hidden numerology behind the games at the Egyptian Bingo Hall. Goodnight from Hookland.

I've been to Indie Pride Con in Manchester today. It was great to meet so many interesting authors and discover some tropes I was not aware of, like reverse harem. I have a large bag of swag, bought some books, and am settling down to read Fang'd by @vingeorgeauthor.bsky.social. #IndiePrideCon

It's still my favourite vampire movie of all time. #TheLostBoys #vampires

I am doing the pledge habit this year with @gywo.bsky.social. Mine is the excursionist, which is to write 180 days in one year. I'm already over my target for the year so far. If it carries on, I expect to hit 180 by the end of Oct. I've also written 154k words so far, which is nuts! #writing #GYWO

Had a fun day out today at the seaside with my GF's other GF. Yes, we get on! We went to Margate, had a swim in the Walpole tidal lido, before heading to the Shell Grotto - www.shellgrotto.co.uk Finished with playing the 2p machines in the amusement arcade. Fun day out. #Margate #ShellGrotto

I'm in Canterbury for a week of cat-sitting for my girlfriend's old demented pusscat, as she's headed abroad for 2 weeks. It's will be a week of treating myself to nice breakfasts, cocktails, and writing - original and fanfic. 2000 words of fanfic managed today. Original tomorrow. #amwriting

Farewell to the Prince of Darkness. RIPOZZY www.aol.co.uk/ozzy-osbourn...

It's about time. #orgreave

Pre-Stray Kids concert cocktails. #SKZ #cocktails

6 creepy as fuck drabbles written. 2 original. 4 fanfic drabble sequence. I'm stopping now to eat my Pain au Chocolat and drink my g&t. ETA into London - 25 minutes, then meeting up with gf and writing bff at the German Gymnasium for some lunch before heading to our Airbnb. #London #SKZ #writing

On the delayed train to London. It's Avanti - there is nothing new in this! In any event, I am writing drabbles. #writing #drabbles #Avanti

Lol. My Uber driver is in my garden picking peaches of my peach tree. There is an embarrassment of peaches this year, but most are too high up for me to collect. I have scavenged enough for a peach pie, but that is it. #Manchester #peachpie

2.5 hours on the train to London, which means I'll be doing plenty of writing. I always find long train journeys are ideal for me to write. As long as I have my headphones in that is! What's your best place for writing? #writing #trains

I'm heading off down to London later today for 3 days. I'm going to the Stray Kids concert on Friday night with my GF and our writing BFF. Suspect I may be one of the eldest there, but in the immortal words of Gerard Way, "I don't care!". Gonna be fun 3 days with some writing. #SKZ #London

40 years ago today, my dad, his 2 friends, and myself had got to Wembley. We found a good spot - about 1/4 of the way back from the stage - and settled down to wait for the music to start. It was a hot day, and the atmosphere was already building for the Global Jukebox. Miss you, dad ❤️ #LiveAidat40

I don't need to have bought Oasis tickets. I live within walking distance of Heaton Park in Manchester, and with my windows open, and the fact there is no air right now, I can hear every word and the crowd singing along! The fireworks last night were quite spectacular as well. #Oasis #Manchester

Went to a pottery class last night in Manchester. One off class to make a clay mug. Think mine is possibly too big to be a mug, and I failed with the handle. Of course, I went with skulls for decoration! Gonna be red dip glazed before firing. Can't wait to see the end result. #pottery #creating

I worked not far from Tavistock Square. I had colleagues heading into work that day. Thankfully, none of them were physically injured. We were told to stay in our office, away from the windows. Phones were down, and we were uncontactable until late afternoon. My thoughts to all affected by this. 💔

Check out my latest drabble- We Who Swallow the Dead, in this week's #TremblingWithFear. Check out the other stories as well, which are all suitably creepy. horrortree.com/trembling-wi... #writing #horror #drabbles

I cooked this tonight. Although it looks like a large testicle - it isn't. Its pork loin marinated in dark & light soy, ginger, hoisin sauce, spring onions, and Jersey Black Butter Sauce because I ran out of hoisin. 90 minutes in the airfryer. Delicious with some sticky rice. #cooking

🧵 The world’s most respected anti-genocide research organisation, the Lemkin Institute, has produced an Emergency ‘Red Flag Alert’ on trans & intersex people’s rights in the UK. This is an unprecedented situation in post WWII history in NW Europe [1]

#FolkyFriday 'Well Dressing' is an English tradition where wells, springs, and other water sources are decorated with elaborate displays made of natural materials. A summer rite, the custom is believed to have originated from pagan practices of offering gifts to nymphs and water deities.

Off to Hebden Bridge today. Got a day off from work, and the weather looks promising. 2nd time visiting. The first time went with GF, this time going with BF. He wants to do the market and the antiques centre. Whilst he's doing the latter, I will find a pub and write because he'll be AGES!! #DAYOFF

In 11 days' time, it is the 40th anniversary of Live Aid. I was at Wembley with my dad and a couple of his friends. Fuck I feel old!! Bloody amazing concert though. #LiveAidat40 #LiveAid

Managed to write five original drabbles and two fanfic short stories over the weekend. My muse is definitely not letting up at the moment. I think one of the drabbles may have a basis for an urban horror novella. We'll see. #writing

One of JK Rowling's TERF friends was just arrested for assaulting a pregnant woman and a 10 year old child. She threatened to post pictures of them on Facebook calling them pedophiles for being at a LGBTQ event. We told you this would happen.

Umm, in Manchester’s Gay Village. Met my friend, K, earlier, and then headed to the Goose on Bloom Street. Met up with J, who was lovely. We drank a lot. I'm meeting up with her tomorrow for Sparkle Weekend. #SparkleWeekend #transrightsarehumanrights #canalstreet #lgbtq #gin
