A very good Greek takeaway. Firstborn is home for the night so feeding him up on gyros. What would you have? #takeaway

Sometimes you write a book that you think (hope) people will love, then it doesn’t sell. This is mine. Maybe it’s just to niche, but if you like the sound of it, give it a try. Or buy it for the musicals loving autistic person in your life. mybook.to/MyFairLord #books #musicals #genderswap

Teen 1 is coming home for a fleeting visit so I need to tidy the house. I also need to shop. I want to write (I need to check a ms for my editor). I might reward myself by watching Peter Pan Goes Wrong on iPlayer this evening. #saturdaymood #weekend

I found a weird little door in this apartment today, and when I went through it, I was seeing through Trump's eyes in the Oval Office. Anyway, I met Zohran

Young Bob 🥰 #totp

Waiting for Bowie and Jagger to start dancing in the street… #totp

My class got their cube harvest today so we all wore pjs/oodies, cuddled soft toys and watched Kiki’s Delivery Service. One of the reasons I love teaching. 🥰 #teaching #schools #studioghibli

This evening I walked the dogs (in the rain), made dinner, batch made soup, hung washing out and put other washing away, and did some writing. I have no idea how I’ve been so productive but I hope it lasts! #tuesdaymood

My cake is a bad cake. Should have taken 50-60 minutes in the air fryer. Was in for about 90 and still raw. 😫 I write better books than I bake cakes. Promise. #cooking #baking #absoluteshitshow #authors

Mashed potato is the most triggering thing to cook. I must have washed my hands every 30 seconds. 😫 #food #cooking #sensoryissues

Oh. #staffordshire #trees #stormclaudia

Roe a reer, a remale reer.

It is scarily wet and windy so my dog refuses to go for a wee in the back garden unless I turned on the outside light and went with her. 🥶 #dogs

Did she just sing ‘There’s no one left to finger’? #totp

An autocorrect message about the trials of teaching on Children in Need day when everyone wears accessories means that Pudsey will forever be known as Pissed Bear in my house. #teaching

Well that can get to fuck and back! #friday #exercise

Rehearsing the astronauts’ dance for our Christmas play with a space theme. I told them to take a step forward, then added. ‘Just a small one, not a giant leap.’ and NONE of them got it. I’m wasted on six year olds. 😤 #teachers

Zombie Bond. Zombondie.

Sometimes I come across a line I've written that I particularly like. 'The doorbell clanged and a cough entered, followed by a short man wearing a heavy coat.' #writing #writers

Some were buried in the church and some just where they fell With no markers to declare their place of rest But the poppies they do grow where they were never sown And to my mind they do declare it best #remembranceday

In one! #onlyconnect

I swear if gets earlier ever year!

Happy There Is A Circulatory System Walking Through The Kitchen Day to all who celebrate.

Woo-hoo. I wrote some words for a new #wip! Well, I typed up a voice memo, which is the same thing. #writerlife #authors

Went to a vintage place. Bought a new jacket. #vintage #vintagclothing

Not sure I can handle this episode. #doctorwho

If you see this post an album cover with a motor vehicle on it.

Been teaching what The Internet and WWW are this week. Damn earworm!

Total respect! #nottotp

Tusk! Used to play this game in the car with the kids. #totp

Yeah Steve, I get kept awake by breathing too. It’s not romantic. 😤 #totp

Love Divine Comedy. #totp

Fair warning that anyone who gives me an advent calendar containing peas or banana chips will be getting booted right in the baubles. #adventcalendar #healthyeating

Watching Christmas Carol Goes Wrong at The Lowry. It’s on tour so you’re near a run and get the chance it’s well worth it. #theatre #mischieftheatre

This hurts more than the bee sting!

I got stung by a bee during my PE lesson this afternoon and I didn’t swear in front of the kids! I think I deserve a sticker. #teaching

Remember, remember The 5th of November, Sparklers and hotdogs and hats. Go watch an organised display, And stop scaring dogs, you twats.

This account smells like dogs and Maltesers.

Aged 50 I’m about to take my first dance class since the age of 5. Beginners Jazz and Musical Theatre.

Got up close to nature today. #horses

It’s true. I still haven’t learned how to smile properly either!

Finding one of her books in Waterstones still hasn’t got old for @elisabethhobbes.co.uk #SundayPixBooks

Isn’t it ironic.

Excuse the self promo but it still astounds me to think I wrote all these! #SundayPixBooks

A rare photo of me and teen 2 which I’ve been allowed to share to show off our matching tattoos. #tattoos #parents

Oxford is a lovely city with plenty of quaint traditions. One appears to be that cyclists don’t need lights even at night. #oxford

So would that make it the Terf Tavern?

Once watched this film with someone who asked after the big tearful farewell how Bruce Willis was going to get back to the ship afterwards. 🤷‍♀️ #totp

Getting into the spirit of things. Ahahahaha! #halloween
