It's a day of celebration today - a whole eighteen years working for Amec / Amec Foster Wheeler / Wood / WSP 🥳

Not bad for a six-month post-MSc intern role!

Hopefully a second celebration later when we defeat all foes at the quiz...

I had such a lovely time at The Cooking Pot, my closest spoken-word event last night. I usually take an open-mic slot, but last night, I headlined!

It was fun to read a mix of poetry and prose, and share some of my Kindred Spirits tales.

When you're very excited about a new writing project, but the formatting stumps you...

Thank you Alex!

I'd even designed the cover - it would have been such a shame to scrap it over number-spacing 🤣

Absolutely loved The Princess and The Frog - great music, and a wonderful story...

It's been a glorious weekend 🥳
Girls' Day Out, then brunch with lovely pals today, and topped off with a #MidsomerMurders I've not seen before!
We'll gloss over #KingAndConqueror happening later... 🤣

I'm really excited to be joining @paperjamcc.bsky.social at this event on Sunday 19th October (and I LOVE being referred to as 'jovial', although, let's be honest, there's not many 'J' words!!).

Come along! Buy comics! (Or my books...)

Well, this has been a lovely way to start a Friday - the history of #PickOfThePops and the Chart Show. I know I was definitely one of the masses sitting ready to hit 'play and record' at the perfect moment...

I really do enjoy #AllCreaturesGreatAndSmall but it still feels like Sunday night TV... At least it is nearly the weekend! 😀

I'm off to the office for Day Three this week, and what have I learned?
That I only have two tops that I like wearing to the office! This morning's wardrobe hunt wasn't fun...

Definitely a positive office day: look at that view!
