Oh tosh, you're a screenwriter which is..... 🤯🤯🤯. I'm writing a cosy crime book at the moment which requires FAR more dialogue than I'm used to and BOY is it hard. Where is my emotional support description 😀

Amelia Bullmore is so good at playing characters who just slightly unnerve and you can't work out why. Her Yvonne is a brilliantly measured performance.

I absolutely flipping LOVE the grafitti art installation at @cburycathedral.bsky.social. Big questions asked in big ways to challenge us and our ideas about any 'right' ways to communicate with a God who must be bigger than all our ideas of him.

Social media uniting behind a mum in the UK struggling with a party she had sprung on her. Seeing folk across the world invested in whether one woman would hold her boundaries.
