Anglesey was very blue today, and Fred enjoyed some rare off-lead freedom (as he's too decrepit to bother other dogs now :) #StetWalk #StetPet #AmEditing
A small brown and white dog noses around seaweed in a rocky bay. The sea and sky are bright blue.

Beach #StetWalk after days of rain in #NorthWales Zoom in to see the gorgeous beach huts! #AmEditing
A row of brightly coloured beach huts across wet sand with a bright blue afternoon sky.

I'm not sure Bank Holiday Monday can get much better than this! 😎 #AmReading
Copy of Sauvus Corax Gets Away With Murder on a wooden table with a glass of water in a blue glass beaker. The sun is shining.

A bit of a weird one, but the peek into post-war publishing was fun. #AmReading www.goodreads.com/review/show/...

More gorgeous Scotland. New Slains Castle. I thought it would make a great setting for a novel, perhaps a murder or a romance or both! I didn't realise it had a connection to Bram Stoker at the time. #StetWalk #AmEditing
A rocky coast with masses of pink sea thrift and a very blue, sparkling sea. A huge ruined castle in pink brick and red sandstone with a wall in the foreground covered in pink flowers.

Stumbled upon one of the settings for Local Hero yesterday. Beautiful spot, although slightly obscured by the haar. #StetWalk #Scotland Watched the film last night for pure nostalgia.
A red telephone box on a foggy harbourside. A row of white cottages by the sea wall.

Ah, lovely Newcastle ❤️ I've revisited the Baltic, the Laing and the Hatton galleries, the Hancock Museum, the Sunday market... Many a #StetWalk, not much #Editing!

It's true! We had a Christmas Day traffic jam some years ago when the llamas made a break for it. (I think they're llamas not alpacas?)
Some llamas wandering down a country road.

I'm sure I'm behind the curve here, but if you formally object to Meta using your public posts for #AI, they tell you they won't. Not sure if they will, but I feel it's worth the time, even for my piddling amount of data. It is, after all, mine.🤷‍♀️
Letter from Meta re AI: Hi Jenny. We will honour your objection for your public information, such as public posts and comments, and for your messages with AIs. This means that we won't use your public information from FB or Instagram or your messages with AIs for future development and improvement of generative AI models for AI at Meta.

#StetWalk in the Japanese Garden in Regent's Park. I don't recall the London parks being quite so decorous as this one, but maybe that's because I used to live in Sarf London 😀
A pond framed by the branches of a willow tree with daffodils in the foreground. A striped lawn of vivid green grass backed by flowering trees and shrubs in pink and white.

Saturday ##StetWalk #AmEditing #Anglesey 😎
A huge sandy beach stretches away with mountains in the distance. A lone walker (and dog?) is at the edge of the sea. Bright blue sky and fluffy white clouds.

Not my usual fare, but it was on a stack of books in the bathroom🤷‍♀️ I liked the unnamed hero and his dry, rather cynical pragmaticism (and the mercifully short chapters). The author employs a weirdly whimsical approach to metaphor and simile. My favourite: He was as calm as a Camembert 🤔 #AmReading
Book cover: Len Deighton - Horse Under Water. A grey submarine on its side with pale blue and darker blue stripes emanating from the image.

Reacting to @kokedit.bsky.social post about the dangers of sitting still for too long, I got one of those clever apps that tell you to 'Move' every hour. Entirely redundant, of course, as I've already got the canine equivalent. Usually, when I've just got my head in the zone... Grrrrr. #AmEditing

Why have I not read this bonkers romance before? There is some dubious stuff in here, but Jessica is a total badass! (Read Alexis Hall's excellent review via GR for the low-down) #Romancelandia #AmReading
Cover of Lord of Scoundrels by Loretta Chase. A brown-haired woman is seen in profile with a blue wrap falling from a bare shoulder. She is looking at some pink flowers. A man walks towards her in the distance with a mansion behind him. This innocent, pretty picture is in no way representative of the heroine.

We all love a placeholder when we're writing, but don't forget to search for them at the end!
From a published novel:
“You two will stand before Vicar Name today, even if I have to drag you there at gunpoint.”

I just got this beauty of a bouquet from one of my indie #romance authors as a thank-you for going above and beyond. The truth is she's going through some horrible stuff at the moment, and I did nothing more than anyone would in that situation. This is #Romancelandia ❤️ 🤗 #AmEditing
A gorgeous arrangement of flowers in autumnal colours: gold, bronze, green, orange and pink. They are in a glass vase next to a glazed bowl and a framed black and white photo.

Terrific fun. A 1920s spy thriller set in London with all the shady goings-on you can imagine, plenty of tension and a great denouement. The central romance is wonderful and handles complicated issues of boundaries and consent really well IMO. I'll definitely be reading #2. #AmReading #Romancelandia
Cover of Eleventh Hour by Elin Gregory. A black-and-white shot of a moustachioed man in a trilby and striped suit with a smoky background. The lettering is in bronze.

My knee is even more knackered than usual, but it's worth the effort for the views⛵️ 🐚 #StetWalk #AmEditing
A long, sandy beach with two small, distant figures. The sea is choppy with white horses. A blue sky, fluffy white clouds, and sunshine reflecting off the water. There's a row of wind turbines on the horizon.

Wales here!
Sunset off a North Wales coast. A streaky blue, orange and red sky above a black mountain range and a flat sea.

Little #StetWalk along the canal after a long morning of line editing. #AmEditing #Romance
This is part of the Leeds—Liverpool canal at Bingley. There is a paved pathway with a lock in the foreground and a cafe in the background. The sky is blue with white, fluffy clouds.

I had no idea what this book was about for the first few (many) pages, but as I loved every moment of it, it didn't matter. I'm not going into the plot because I think the finding out is the point. Suffice it to say, this is charming, beautifully written and utterly engaging. #AmReading
Photo of the book 'A Night in the Lonesome October' by Roger Zelazny. It's a bright orange cover featuring a dog howling. It sits on a chunk of tree trunk that is now a garden table.
