Ex-chef. Ex-journalist (A.i. is getting all the work) I write words for free, for money, for my own health.

I’m trying to learn #Gaeilge

First novel: https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B08YZ11TGP

Next novel - will not be on Amazon.

My novel has a restaurant.

N.B. Lunsford is the central character. Things happen to him that change him. He has little agency, crippled as he is by grief.

Until he meets strangers that is.

Link in bio etc and so on.

(As soon as I hit Post, I’m going to see all the errors aren’t I?)

Seriously, where are the Aussies?

My cat, Sydney, and my dog, Hobart need to know.

(Also me, I miss Aus a lot)

I went to do some research at the Labour Party archives in Manchester. Found lots of great docs… and this.

I went to Rio de Janeiro a few years ago (my wife was giving a conference paper. I was the bit of fluff on the side).

Walking around the city, we came across this.

A sentiment I hope we can all get behind.

(Non-footy/soccer fans think of FIFA as nearly as awful as the Olympic committee).

My dog just looked at me and said, "You're not shadow-banned, Tim. You're just very, very boring. Where's my bone, you twat?"

And I think he might have a point. That said, he is in a bad mood.

I'm sure this would make a decent album cover for some human artiste.

Somewhere around here my granny Plunkett met my grandad Murphy. She lived around here. He lived in the British army barracks. It was 1920.

Bloody hell, that was 2018 when my bakery was alive and I had no idea that the pandemic was around the corner.

Still looking for paid editorial work that has nothing to do with A.i..

The book's stopped selling.

Skint. So, I'll have to sell the only guitar I've ever really loved.

Oh poor me etc.

Those were the days. I used to love being a news editor/writer on a national weekly.

Hobart the dog seems to be licking my porcini/cep like an icecream. He loves shrooms.
