I use my blog for this - although all my blog posts seem to expand to 3,000+ words, even if I initially think it's just a neat throwaway idea.

I've seen enough episodes of The Bill to know that they should be filled with stolen goods and murder weapons, if not actual bodies.

This is exactly the kind of thing I had in mind. (Sadly I can't actually buy any lock-ups as I am completely skint.)

Erk, yes, that repost should have come with a warning, sorry!

Hmm, fairly equally matched, I'd say.

It's lovely to see a fully-realised Pictish world, complete with flora and wildlife. Every time I see one of those TV dramas that show the early Middle Ages as grim and murky, I think 'but surely the sun shone sometimes, and birds sang, and people felt joy in their hearts'. This book shows that.

I find this too. Twice now Google AI Overview has thrown up absolute nonsense about a topic in my study area, and then cited my blog as a source.
