Apropos of … I’ve been thinking how lucky I was last year when I couldn’t see beyond my navel to have people tell me it would get better after redundancy. I just needed to hold on. The news out of UKHE gets no better so if it’s you where I was: hold on. It will get better. Hold on.

If one was, say, a woman in her early(ish) forties and clueless about makeup, where might one start? Is there a catch-up class for introverted nerds who hid inside books throughout their teenage years?

Wanderers by @kerriandrewsuk.bsky.social is an uplifting account of women through history for whom walking was important: defying gendered conventions, walking mountains alone, often writing as they went.

Inspiring, courageous, & passionate #NatureWriting!

In my case at least it was validating to see someone else feeling the same things, tho expressed with far greater erudition (and pleasing sarcasm). Sometimes outrage is the only moral response. I think this is one of those times.

I appreciated the sardonic outrage very much. Grim news, but the withering prose somehow helped.

Feeling quite pleased that I managed a mere 33%, including two books signed by the lovely Michael Rosen mostly unfazed by the ludicrous spelling I chose for my son’s name. Festival win!

Placing bets now for how large a percentage of my appearance fee gets dropped at the festival bookshop tomorrow. There’s a dedicated children’s bookshop, too. Not ruling out 100% tbh

I’ve been known to take my son on a massive bike ride *and* give him a big blast round the playpark on the same day but… nope, doesn’t make an iota of difference. ‘I’m not tired!’ He mewls while bouncing off the bed at 9.30. *I’m tired*

Please tell me yours have grown out of it before your 90th….
