Okay, could use one or two sentences of pep talk. What you got?
Start where you are. Use what you have. Do what you can.
And good luck.

#TCMParty All The President's Men is airing and I am torn between loving every dry, irascible moment of Jason Robards as Ben Bradlee, marvelling at the non-confirmation confirmations, and mourning the loss of a great newspaper in our present era.

Light makes all the difference.

Roses are still going strong in my part of the world. Saw this one on the last day of October, glowing in the sunlight. 🌹

Last night, Zohran Mamdani went to the CLUBS in Brooklyn while his volunteers canvassed the night owls.

BRILLIANT idea. A lot harder to do than you think.

He’s gonna win and it won’t be close.

Sunrise over a hill near our village behind an Oak plus two birds in a clear blue sky. The fields, covered in dew are floodlit by the morning light.

Last week I saw another painting by Caravaggio in person: “Supper at Emmaus” (1606), at the Pinacoteca di Brera in Milan. For his technical mastery, innovative methods, and psychological/emotional depth, I regard him as the world’s greatest painter. I wish I could write history the way he paints.

This seemingly radical act of kindness.

Why is that not normal?

But it isn't.

And that's why I'm in tears
🚨🚨Wow‼️In these times of uncertainty we need more Romeo’s in the world. He paid for people to eat for an hour and over 200 people were fed. This is the humanity and community we need right now. Bravo, Romeo‼️🔥💥🔥

Please appreciate the charmingly terrible poetry on the back of this pita bread. The English doesn't scan, the french doesn't rhyme, and I'm sorry but who is eating pitas with beans and plum jam

I won a British Fantasy Award!!

Sooo this happened! Yesterday I was awarded the British Fantasy Award for Best Newcomer for Voyage of the Damned.

I know everyone says this but I really didn’t expect to win! I’ve always maintained I don’t write the type of books that win awards but apparently I do?

For my contribution to #StunDay I will go with the Fox that was waiting next to the Premier Inn car park for us to return from our day out at the Zoo.
It didn't even mind that I turned the car so the headlights illuminated it a little.
