I wonder if my random rambles about my favourite character from Dance with the Fae can get more views than the Melania Movie got in the UK? #MelaniaMovie #bookcharacters mybook.to/DanceWiththeFae

More #pottery spam. Week 2 on the wheel. I think I’m getting the hang of it a bit more but need to work on my pulling technique (no comments thank you 😜) to get it less lopsided. #potterywheelthrowing

I love the gorilla. That should have been PotW. #potterythrowdown

The raku fox I fell in love with in Wales which @sinisterbulb.bsky.social got me for my 50th. I love it. #potterythrowdown

Snakes, then. #potterythrowdown

Catching up on #SkiSunday just before #potterythrowdown. Vicarious hobby night, basically. #sundayevening

I’ve sprung a leek!

One of my favourite things about Dance with the Fae was including some unlikely creatures, including the unicorn and a dodo. Also, since people have compared Stephen from #TheTraitors to a WW1 hero, I can't get him out of my head as Kit 😊. #unicorns #booksky📚💙 #faerie mybook.to/DanceWiththeFae

Demonstrators as far as the eye can see. Current status of the march in Downtown Minneapolis, Minnesota for Ice Out of Minnesota. They are turning onto 3rd Street from 5th Avenue.

I am so full of cold and have been awake half the night sneezing and coughing, got woken up at 7 by the dogs and have a load of writing I need to do on a book I’m finding tricky. Time for a cuppa in bed before I face the world. #saturday

Yes!!!! #thetraitors #traitors

Oooh Rachel, that was a slip! #traitors

Damn! #thetraitors

My lower back is killing me And I must confess so are my knees #totp

Why was there never a BeeGees Fugees mash up? BeeFuGeeGees. #totp

Who will be watching #TheTraitors and who will be watching #totp? Who will be trying to do both?

I’ve resisted posting because he’s a real person, but Stephen could absolutely be the model for Kit in Dance With the Fae, especially with these glasses and the moustache. #traitors

Anyone watching Uncloaked? Did we see Roxy’s reaction to finding out who it was? #thetraitors #traitorsuncloaked

This is a crap way to decide at this stage! #traitors

That would be me puking in the field after the first bend and being accused though. #thetraitors

Teen 2 was telling me about academics getting snippy with each other. The subsequent conversation made me feel very old! #historytoday #parenting

Watch out Stephen, Rachel is coming for you! #TheTraitors #traitors

Pottery night no 2. I tried the wheel! I made five turds (technical term) before I managed to get the hang of it. Then I made 3 bowls, one which was good enough to turn into a berry bowl. #pottery #potterswheel

I no longer feel an obligation to think purely of peace

I caught this today (I don’t usually get to leave school so early) and it was fascinating. Well worth a listen.

This challenge is stressing me far too much. So many of them have got cracks 😫 #potterythrowdown

Every year they do a blindfold challenge so why don’t they practise before coming on? #potterythrowdown

Me in 2016 v me in 2026 #2016challenge

Apparently there’s a trend on FB and Instagram to share pictures from 2016/2026. Some people are saying it could be a trick to get people to share things to train AI. I can’t see that being true. Anyway, here I am. No difference imo. #2016challenge

Trying a new recipe for dinner which will either be wonderful, in which case there will be photos, or so dreadful that @sinisterbulb.bsky.social will be heading out for chips.

Went to #SaleLibrary to see the #CosgroveHall exhibit. Found a favourite character, plus one of my books and another by @jennikeer.bsky.social #libraries #books #saturdayvibes

Is this an evil way to eat egg and ketchup? #eggs

Poor Stephen, trying to pray himself ‘normal’. 😭 #traitors

No one said Stephen. 😂 #traitors

Boxes! I’d be banishing myself at that point. 😳 #traitors

How big is the sun? asked my class. ‘So big a million earths could fit inside. And it’s 93 million miles away.’ And then I played them this youtu.be/3JdWlSF195Y?... @tmbg.bsky.social Next week I hope someone asks how many minutes are in a year. #teaching

Oh what! No #totp. Guess I’ll have to watch #thetraitors

Divine Comedy. This is more like it. #totp

It’s Friday, and what you need for the weekend is a book with wise old women and batty old crones. mybook.to/DanceWiththe... #fantasybooks #reading #fae

Stephen giving string starship crew vibes today. #traitors #thetraitors

‘Is that person ok? ‘ Bless you Stephen! #traitors

Just when they could have done with a ghost hunter. #thetraitors #traitors

Is there going to be some big reveal where H has been a secret secret traitor all along? #traitors #thetraitors

Really? #traitors

Oh James! Bad lad. #traitors

Cunning shield twist! #traitors

I like my men like I like my coffee. Decaffeinated.

Neil Coyle MP has written a brutal takedown letter to Nigel Farage for his breach of parliamentary protocol, because Farage visited Coyle's London constituency without notifying him. 10/10 no notes. (H/T @simonpegg.bsky.social)

My first pottery class. We made herb strippers with texture added using herbs. 2 pieces stuck together so I hope they don’t fall apart by next week. What a lovely way to spend a couple of hours. #pottery
