No ghosts, only memories of people no longer in their lives.

I'm hoping to be strong enough to make it five concerts next year. He has hinted he will be playing in the UK, France and US. While my health is unlikely to allow a US trip at this time, it should allow a short trip to France and will defo permit an evening out in the UK.

You know, that French bloke who plays electronic music and has several world records for largest attendance at concerts.

They obviously have a good budget as they advertise on every single mobile phone game and several social media platforms. But when the prices are so low, you do have to ask, "is it too good to be true?" But when the goods don't pass standard safety tests, then that answer has to be "YES."

I'm a grinch. I don't celebrate Halloween.

The Creator does not have tattoos. He's not keen on body art.

Morning sir. More medical shenanigans here. The appointment time doesn't fit with the bus schedule though, so I'm either going to be 45 minutes early or 10 minutes late. 😕

The Seeker and the Creator were both born in the location.

I publish chapters as blogs as I go along, revising and inserting new bits when needed.

Do you show your WIP to anyone before you finish it? I never do until my stories shape shift into their final form #writingq #WritingCommunity

I always thought the Tories in government hated young people because young people couldn't earn money for them. They saw no point in investing in them.

Rather them than me. I paint my nails when I'm going on a long holiday. If I remember. Nail polish is not allowed at work on health grounds so I gave up painting them regularly a long time ago. I've never liked manicures either.

Move over, Alan Turing: meet the working-class hero of Bletchley Park you didn’t see in the movies

The Oxbridge-educated boffin is feted as the codebreaking genius who helped Britain win the war. But should a little-known Post Office engineer named Tommy Flowers be seen as the real father of computing?

No, London is NOT in the grip of a crime wave. Ordinary people are just as safe or not safe as they always have been. Those who flash their bling have always been targets and always will be.

No, no horoscopes or astrology in my story. There could be if I write it in during a later edit, I suppose.

Morning Gurdeep. A day of sorting out and housework here.

The Seeker has never had money for that sort of thing. The Writer's hair is too short to dye it.

No. The Writer does start dating the Seeker, which is the first time she's had more than a fling with anyone of any persuasion in many years.

What’s the weirdest character you’ve ever created? In one of my stories, I have a kid who turns into a monster. He likes to eat the bad guys #writingq #WritingCommunity

Paging @actualnames.bsky.social as well. Now going to read up on these places, which to my UK humour are decidedly ha-ha funny, thank you.

The Tennessee military munitions plant where many people have died is in a town called Bucksnort. To this UK resident, that sounds like a name worthy of @actualnames.bsky.social listings.

I do hope the first responders and investigators can find answers to this nasty-sounding event.
