It’s quite the wild ride!

Just read the first story from this anthology from @deadinkbooks.bsky.social. Love @dancoxon.bsky.social’s intro - was inspired to jot some ideas down for first time in months.

Then there’s I am the House by @gradyhendrix.bsky.social

Woah! 👏👏👏

Can’t wait to read the rest …

My swag from @britfantasysoc.bsky.social convention in Brighton. Few more ordered online since too (shhh, it’s FINE)

Highlights for me the Queer in Horror panel & the interview with Siniti Namjoshi about lyrical fantasy … & more generally the random chats I had with many delightful ppl …

Got floor insulated (Hemp wrapped in a breathable membrane. Expensive, dirty, intrusive work but worth it). Am charging solar panel battery nightly thru Octopus for max £1.17 (bf insulation) which lasts through day, .

SP still giving some energy.

See alt text for more re insulation.

Wild times @worldfantasy2025.bsky.social when I popped into a talk about reincarnation only to discover the speaker, Ali Sparkes, had written a bool inspired by her labradoodle - who is, in fact, littermates with my doodle

Ah ok, I have a labradoodle (3/4 standard poodle) and now I know where that look comes from. He’s great at sighing too

Mostly though, acting is all about the glamour …

Keith Johnstone’s Impro was my bible at Uni - for life and for acting.

I know not everyone is in position to get solar panels (&battery). But if you are - 100% recommend**.

I’ve not paid for energy since I got them, not even standing charge*. Not even on rainy days

*bc exporting to grid & getting £ covers it
**I mean, check if ur roof is well positioned etc first

Went for walk with friend and after dog disgraced himself with general hoovering of their house then came home and ate cat food.

Periodically flumping* in his sleep now …

*haven’t used this word since school. May be very specific to 1980s Birmingham. But I bet you can guess

Finally broken the dog, who has not yet asked for a morning walk. I think it was yesterday’s full day out with the dog walker, plus the excitement of my son AND tradesmen in house, plus the adoration of various ppl in the local pub that’s done it

Line learning today.* One page away from the end of Act One, when I am rendered blissfully unconscious for a page or three).

*By which I mean learning only to forget, to learn again etc. And so it goes on.

Meanwhile, the dog:

Oh well 😊

Dog on mend (bonus photo), both adult kids here - getting on - am in a play in November; Improv intensive starts tomorrow; scaffolding coming down next week and no builders until week after. NFNF shaping up well for Issue 5.

Sun shining.

I am bone-deep happy.
