A multi-pack of Cadbury Starbar, which was mentioned on the Socially Distant Sports Bar episodes over the last few weeks and I've had a hankering for them ever since!

Given the current polling, asking Kemi Badenoch to respond to the Budget is about as relevant as asking what Chesney Hawkes thought of it.

It's Book Quote Wednesday and today's word is RUN, which all of my guys do a LOT of. In Cursed Under London, one of the first things Lazare & Amber the dragon do together is try to leg it away from muggers. #BookQW buying links: farragobooks.com/book/cursed-...
Quote from Cursed Under London. Quote reads: ‘He’s making a run for it!’ shouted Herbert. ‘Cheeky sod,’ Randall exclaimed. They both lunged at Lazare, who turned and ran. Ahead of him in the alley, he saw Amber, running as fast as her little stumpy legs could carry her – which wasn’t very fast, not that Lazare was anyone to judge. He wasn’t one of nature’s great athletes. Generally, if an activity was worth Lazare messing up his hairdo or rumpling his doublet for, it had to be something he really enjoyed. As far as he was concerned, those activities were confined to acting, dancing and/or making love, so while he considered himself extremely skilled in those three things, he was not at all practised in the art of running away – let alone while encumbered by all of his worldly possessions.

Does anyone here own a Kindle Scribe? Thinking of buying one, but would love to hear users' experiences. Is it worth it?

I learnt two things today:

1. Sofa sex can be wild and exciting.

2. The staff in DFS are quite narrow-minded.

Creative Types: I'm submitting an application for a creative development program and, as usual, they as for a few hundred words on me and my work.

Does anyone have any advice on writing one of these? I've done it numerous times but I always worry it's where I fall short.
