In our ‘not a cult’ world that us, I believe, know as ‘Where the heck is that can of tuna’ expression!’ Fishy! 🍣 Apparently that is supposed to be tuna?! ⬆️

This morning I enjoyed author @lucyvandrew.bsky.social first newsletter with a nice cup of tea.📰 Fortunately, it was not like the cup of tea served up in her upcoming novel and it was served with milk rather than poison! ☕️🫖☠️

Sorry to miss the #Decade folk last Friday. Ironically, I was pursuing a Decade goal but I was sorry to miss everyone! Thank you to all the kind folk who got me into the previous meeting as I’m a fool with tech! Thank you also to our great leader (not a cult) who agreed to help with my Decade goal!📝

There are times when you must speak, not because you are going to change the opposing side, but because if you do not speak, they have changed you.

If you missed it this weekend, Waterstones has picked Who Wants Normal? to be in their pre-order sale.

That means you can grab the hardback - very briefly - at 25% off. Offer ends *midnight tonight*. Wheel, don’t walk! www.waterstones.com/book/who-wan...

To the left, an image of the book cover: orange, yellow, and lavender stripes with the title and my name in a stripe each. To the right, it’s says: Waterstones 25% with the code PREORDER25.
