Apols for invading your timelines with shameless self-promotion but if your kids received gift cards for Christmas, might I suggest pointing them in the direction of my Notwitches books? They've had some very nice things said about them lately, and book 1 was in The I Paper's 14 Best Books of 2025.🧙♀️

As seen in Bath yesterday, is it a Cathedral or is it that blood cells diagram from my school textbooks? Platelet counts don’t feel very Christmassy to me!

A year ago today I met a writer who very quickly became my best friend and I couldn't get her out of my head. Fast forward a year and we’re headed to look at wedding venues and I can't believe my luck. Love you @arianesherine.bsky.social

I don’t drink that much these days, but I did swing by The Cock with my beautiful girlfriend @arianesherine.bsky.social last night and noticed that “Man in the box” lager is now just “Man painted on a cube”. When did this tragedy occur?

As seen yesterday on the grave of George Orwell. Did you see it yet? Wish I’d thought of it! (Yes, it was a pen name, no, nothing to do with Tony).

There's something about Tesco's new buttermilk design
There's no other way about it, this is a design cock-up by someone at Tesco.

So, for the day job today I write about deals on cameras and drones - and tariffs _are_ going to be a factor. Is it clickbait to ask if anyone’s thought about it? Or bravely bringing political debate into a different space?

So I wrote something! First time in a real hot minute, so super important to read, share, and tell me how clever and pretty I am.

This week I got to see and feel what several years and thousands of pounds could do to my camera of choice for a few minutes. But, you know, that dirt and grime, that’s “love” - you can’t buy that. I can’t change. Nothing to do with affordability… nothing… 🧐

Ok, so I’ve got to admit I’m a little impressed; at no point in several minutes of scrolling have I seen the same clip of a rocket.
