Heartbreaking

Happy New Year, everyone. New Year means new books here. What good reads have you picked up lately?

Big Game 16. A fab day out with family and friends.

Tree is up. Dog resolutely unimpressed.

I'm going with "eclectic".

While we're all getting to know each other (again, if you've been over there) here's my go-to playlist: open.spotify.com/playlist/7tb...

Dad skillz. Recent exchange with 18yo daughter.

Enjoyed hearing Jo Salter MBE describing her journey to becoming the RAF's first female combat jet fighter pilot today. Doodling along as ever.

Just going through my camera roll. There's definitely a theme emerging...

Delighted to find that Frank is on here. This is my sketchnote of him discussing the importance of children's literature. @frankcottrellboyce.bsky.social

BIG RECOMMEND

Whatever?

Consultant?

Facilitator?

Artist?

The call of the wild?

Single malts?

Retired polar explorer?

So...start from scratch or with some greatest hits?

Hi friends and billable heroes. If you want a calendar for 2025 packed with pictures of pets cos-playing as lawyers (AND WHY WOULDN'T YOU?!!) TODAY is the last day you can order! All profits go to Save the Children to help them with their vital work. You can order here: www.billablehour.org/calendar

Well. Things seem to be livening up round here. Perhaps I'll get my social media mojo back...

Hello there.
