Starring Kitty was first published in 2014 and after the rights reverted to me, I self-pubbed an anniversary edition.

“There is a moment when you start reading a book and you just know [it’s] a book that you’ll love. This happened to me on the very first page of Starring Kitty.”

The sunniest of romcoms for a grey autumn day. Laura Wood's first grown up book was everything I wanted it to be and more. amzn.to/3WdspoU

Years ago, I had an actual meet cute in the street (Shaftesbury Avenue in fact). I gave him my number and by the time I got home that evening he’d left a bunch of increasingly unhinged messages, with the last being he didn’t want to go out with me anyway and I didn’t know what I was missing 🥴

As the nights draw in, you might be thinking of writing that book you've been planning. If so, my Write Your Cozy Mystery gives practical advice and useful exercises to help you on your way. www.amazon.co.uk/Write-Your-C...

A cup of tea and two books on a tartan rug. The top book is Write Your Cozy Mystery by Rachel Ward, and the second The Missing Heirloom Mystery.

If reform can rocket through the polls with a politics of despair, then it's time for the green party to do the same thing but with a politics of hope.

Seems unfair that Karen and Harry look like that and I look like this #strictly

Omg

"We made some changes to McVitie's Penguin and Club earlier this year, where we are using a chocolate flavour coating with cocoa mass, rather than a chocolate coating. Sensory testing with consumers shows the new coatings deliver the same great taste as the originals," the McVitie's owner, Pladis, said in a statement.
Club's classic advertising slogan citing its chocolate content is no longer in use, replaced by: "If you like a lot of biscuit in your break, join our Club."

I just saw two toddlers cheersing ring donuts 🍩 and it made me very happy.

So, people are going to have to pass A level english to live here are they? I hope they study what I did at A level, Translations by Brian Friel, about the colonial evil of the English forcing people to adopt the English language

Years ago I remember someone complaining about “multi-millionaire George Michael” covering Brother, Can You Spare a Dime. Like they’d prefer him to be singing about how rich and successful he was. It annoys me every time I listen to it.

I won my Dualit in a magazine 27 years ago. Never had a problem, still going strong. (Hope that didn’t jinx it…)

Keir Starmer's aides are reportedly telling him not to go to the COP30 climate conference, because Reform would attack him for it.
Yes, they might.
And he should wear it as a badge of honour.
Standing up for humanity, for science and a habitable planet.
Where's the hazard in that?

I bought Bourneville Old Jamaica cos it was my grandad’s favourite (and I like the packaging redesign). Good lord, who is buying this stuff?? It tastes like tyres.

These very true words from Steve Hely have given me tremendous comfort over the years.

Writing a novel— actually picking the words and filling in paragraphs— is a tremendous pain in the ass. Now that TV’s so good and the Internet is an endless forest of distraction, it’s damn near impossible. That should be taken into account when ranking the all-time greats. Somebody like Charles Dickens, for example, who had nothing better to do except eat mutton and attend public hangings, should get very little credit.

I enjoyed it too. They had chemistry, which seems to be super rare. (He’s too old to have had a computer in his room tho.)

I know people complain about lighting in modern films but what is up with the sound? I saw The Sound of Music yesterday without my hearing aids and every word was clear.

Today I saw A Big Bold Beautiful Journey, my hearing aid battery ran out, and I’d say I missed half the dialogue.

Did you ever read the book about them? Literally by Chris Heath. I was never a huge fan but I loved it so much.

it's not that I thought government would save the country from what's been bubbling for the last 10+ years, I'm not that naive. but I guess I just didn't expect that they would literally offer it up on a plate

Dismayed by the "I loathe Gl**ner but his arrest should scare us all" takes. The bar for arrest over a social media post *should be extremely high*, but a guy who's harassed trans people 19 hours a day for 8 years, telling his 600k fans to attack any trans women they see, clears that bar v easily?
