Why can’t Kindle allow you to buy single short stories and then anyone can create their own anthology like playlists on Spotify.

@nasibov.bsky.social I thought you’d find this interesting. I saw this sign for a barber shop and I thought what a missed opportunity. Why not have the two blades of a pair of scissors as the two hands of a clock.

Perfect soft poached eggs - put two eggs into boiling water, uncracked, for 15 secs. Take out and crack carefully into the water. Boil gently for one minute and turn off the heat.
Put in your toast, and when done, serve with the eggs. It is very simple, and it works.

I recently discovered this drink at a beautiful little Mediterranean restaurant I visited a few months back - they called it an Arabian Night Orange. 250ml fresh squeezed orange juice, 60ml dark roast or espresso, 1 tsp simple syrup. It’s quite fantastic.

Playing Battleships with son. I won by sinking his destroyer on square B 10. I told him it was quite apt because I had just ‘beaten’ him.

I saw a brilliant thing the other day. I was queuing up to take some rubbish to the dump when a man drove past on a motorbike. He didn’t seem to have any rubbish. But as he drove past I saw he had a little plastic bag of maybe ten batteries strapped to the back of his bike.

It’s like a good idea. It’s so obvious once you’ve seen it.

‘The Creative Habit’ is one of the best books I’ve read on creativity. You don’t need to be a writer, to write.

True story. A friend of mine took a new girlfriend to see some famous ancient stones. When they got off the train and asked the taxi driver to take them to see the stones, the driver said, “you do realise this is Aylesbury, not Avebury.”

It’s great you can download the start of a book on Kindle, but here’s an idea, why not make it longer. Why not let people read the first 50 pages or even half the book for free. let readers get hooked. #BookTwitter #WritingCommunity #BookLover #Read

Here’s an idea. Why not have car parks with diagonal spaces? You lose one space per row, but it will be so much easier for drivers to get in and out. #innovation #ideas #CarParking #Creative
