Morning lovely people. It’s Black Friday, apparently. I’m furious. When will there be a White Friday?

I feel the need to point out that this is a joke…

Happy avoid the shops day!

Morning lovely people! Monday again. Distract yourself momentarily with these alien looking trees down by the river in Worcester.

Morning lovely people. Free day today! Music or video games? Can’t decide. Whatever I end up doing, it will mostly be from a seated position… Happy Saturday! 🥳

Morning lovely people. Sheffield yesterday was a lot of fun, if a little exhausting. Now I need levering out of bed and pointed in the direction of my office… ta.

Happy Thursday, lovely people. Open day at the magic shop this Saturday and Sunday. The start of a closing down sale! I’ll be there on Sunday so come get some cheap tricks and give me a big hug.

Hello lovely people. Extra busy at the moment helping my dad with magic business stuff as he closes his shop and ramps up his publishing company. Sad to see the shop go. It’s a fab place. Ah well.

@lucidwhim.bsky.social Morning Fiona. Are you feeling any better? ☕️🤗x

A little splash of colour in my garden. Have a lovely weekend everyone. 🥳

Aw. Sad news. Bromsgrove south just lost their Reform council in a by-election. It’s Lib Dem now since the guy never turned up for sessions and resigned, presumably after being overwhelmed by the demands of the job - y’know, dressing yourself, joined up writing, big sums…

Happy Friday!

I just yawned and it made a sound like Godzilla roaring and I don’t think my day will get any better than that. Happy Thursday!

Can you put a price on human life?

Looking nice and autumnal out of my bedroom window. Was thinking about raking some leaves up but then I remembered that the outside is cold and there’s no wifi... Happy Wednesday!

Good morning lovely people! After a week of technical issues I now have a small backlog of bits to finish… send coffee, treats, extra fingers etc.

It’s Friday, ten fifteen (crackerjack…) and I have a day off. Should use it wisely (gardening, tidying, paperwork) but I’m going to play video games and drink tea and fuss my cats instead. Happy Friday, lovely people!
October 17, 2025 at 9:18 AM
How have I pulled a muscle in my sleep? Is this what happens when you get all old and creaky? Bugger… Happy Wednesday, lovely people!

Morning lovely people! The last dregs of the long lurgy has finally gone, just in time for a new client meeting today. Here’s a shot my friend sent me of the cathedral looking all autumnal. Happy Monday!
October 13, 2025 at 6:23 AM
Morning lovely people! I’m still full of lurgy… so I’m having one more day off to sit in bed and watch the leaves turn orange. Happy whatever day this is! 🤪
October 7, 2025 at 7:06 AM
Lurgy. Marvellous. That’s what you get for being sociable! Back to bed for me. 🤒

Woke up feeling grotty. Discovered royalties had been paid into my bank. Now in a much better mood! Happy Friday everyone! 🥳🥳🥳

My sister, who’s had a rough time recently, has a new kitten! This is Peter, a rescue. Like most tuxedo cats, he’s very friendly and playful and soppy. They formed an instant bond and he’s made such a difference in just a few days.
Animals are amazing.

Just had a huge brunch at Kyndfolk in Gheluvelt Park, Worcester. Absolutely delicious food in a really beautiful setting. Big fat recommend from me!

The sun is out and I’ve got a day off! I’m going to actually leave the building and go find something fun to do.

Hope everyone has a nice easy Monday.
😎☕️🍰

Happy Friday lovely people! If you want me, I’ll be getting my car repeatedly serviced.
