Today saw my 1,000th published magazine piece. That same magazine carried the news that its former editor, Jonathan Telfer, has passed away. Without his encouragement and support, that published figure would be nowhere near the tally that it is. Thank you Jonathan. RIP.

Finally, it's here! Book 3 in the Marquess of Mortiforde Mysteries. It's called Flaming Murder, and writing it was flaming murder, but it was worth it! simonwhaley.co.uk/flaming-murd...

Wasn't expecting to see a Snapper Simon photo today, but Shefali chose to use one this lunchtime that I took yesterday when the skies were brighter 😁

It is a truth universally acknowledged that a dog in want of a good life is in need of a human slave. Despite not starting slave duties until 7.30pm, there was still time this evening to put the dog guard in the back of the car and go out 🤣
