Pleased to say my novel made the long list for @bridportprize.bsky.social this year, and an excerpt features in the anthology. I'm querying agents at the moment and also was one of the winners of @irishwriterscentre.bsky.social Novel Fair 2025, so get in touch if you know any agents looking.

I don't comprehend this trend for Xmas baubles that are like a replica of a tin of anchovies or a pack of Tayto crisps or something. I didn't even seek to know about it.

A thing that I find more difficult every year is people you haven't seen in some time trying to organise social events in WhatsApp, where you can't even decide a date in one group let alone reconcile all of the possible dates with each other.

Needed a chonky honker keyring to avoid ever losing my keys again after last week's debacle, and I managed to find one with the Kewpie mayo baby. Possibly nerdiest item I own.

Every year me and my siblings use this website called Elfster to draw who you're buying a gift for. Every year I'm amazed it's still going. Do people work for Elfster? Are Elfster's leaders talking about harnessing the awesome power of AI?

Slightly biased as it's a mate's restaurant but had a brilliant meal yet again in The Clarence in Stoke Newington last night. It's consistently excellent with one of the best wine lists in London and prob doesn't get the hype it should.
