Just now I walked for 20 mins on a treadmill, and did 4 (separate) minutes of running during it. That might not sound like much, but i have barely been able to walk unaided the last few years so it is very much for me and I am proud of myself

I have recently been acquired by a cat, and I like to tell him what flavour his dinner is while i am prepping it for him. Why are his biscuits herring and *vegetables* flavour? I thought veggies were bad for my lil friend, on account of him being a carnivore?

For those invested in this, The Smell was a slightly cracked egg and the cat is very offended at suggestions he would leave a mouse killed but uneaten

Something in my kitchen smells and I can't find it. The kitchen is so clean. I even pulled the fridge out. But The Smell remains.

I'm making a handbag as a Christmas present for a friend. 7 minute tutorial 9 hours of wrestling with the machine, constant rethreading, hand stitched binding, and disaster after disaster making it. Looks great now it's almost done. Do I tell her what an epic struggle it was?

For legal reasons I have to say Maureen is a work of fiction and my mum in law can cut her own toenails

Maureen is probably my favourite character in my upcoming short story collection, Myths and Monsters. You can pre-order the ebook now and read it on halloween ๐ŸŽƒ Mybook.to/MandMPreorder

This is me doing a marketing. See how in my comfort zone i am? This is fine. Anyway, my new horror short story collection, Myths and Monsters, is out on halloween! ๐ŸŽƒ๐Ÿ‘ป๐Ÿ“š

This morning a taxi driver told me he didnt like motorways, and drove me via all the winding country lanes instead. Naturally I did assume I was being kidnapped, but it turned out no, he really didnt like motorways. He even charged me less, despite the journey being longer.

I forgot to post my daily vlog today (I edited it, got a phone call, went into battle with insurance companies for much of the day and forgot to upload it). It is technically still monday so I have posted it now.

It made me miss my old twitter friend Andrew, who used to send me weird books, and odd postcards, and always told me if I hadn't posted it yet. And then just as I was getting weepy at that death, moonpig reminded me of wombie's upcoming birthday. Last year was a bit of a bollock-kicker, wasn't it?

Unfortunately for my dreams of future riches, but fortunately for all ample bosomed perimenopausal ladies suffering through summer humidititty, these already exist. Well kinda, cooling gel pad bra inserts anyway. I might try and sew them into some summer dresses next year

I should patent the cool your tits freezable gel bra now

Saw someone asking if anyone in the uk has their heating on yet. Am I the only one who is absolutely boiling? Where is my crisp October air? Where are the bejewelled spiderwebs and visible breath? I haven't even got my socks on yet.

When i was in bed last night, I had a sudden story idea. I decided to make a note on my phone so I wouldn't forget this time. Unfortunately the note consists of 4 words, and I can only work out what one of them is.

Today I am trying to make my website work the same on both mobile and desktop and even though I have a "responsive" theme, it isn't bloody working. Growl. Only look on my website on your phones for a bit, ok?

My car is in her death throes, so i was looking at various different options online. Accidentally auto filled my real number instead of my fake one i use for this kind of thing. I've had 5 calls from robots just today ๐Ÿ˜ญ

This is one of my favourite stories that I have written

Every single time I click on the 'Yes, I have read the terms & conditions' when buying something, I get this fleeting thought about that might mean. It's a hangover from a story in Slipping Through, written by @vspearson85.bsky.social it's brilliant! ๐Ÿ’™๐Ÿ“š๐Ÿ‘€ #Booksky buy.bookfunnel.com/h5gi81shtn

Sky customer service is the actual worst, their robots are designed to enrage and then you finally get through to a person and they are just as unhelpful as the AI. So tell me, what broadband company makes it easy to talk to a human when you need help? Because i can't be doing with this nonsense

I'm meant to be having a physically relaxing day (to prep for a more physical week ahead) so I decided to play Minecraft to glue me to the sofa. So i started a hardcore world and now I am stressed and my neck hurts from the tension

Recently I learned that when you hit #menopause, your Achilles tendon is more likely to snap. Serendipitously, I also came across this video about the importance of tendon strength, and how to strengthen them. So, now I feel duty bound to share this everywhere! youtu.be/GSwL3Lgw6zI?... #Health
