Evening! I think I had something to say, but it went completely out of my head when I saw this: Why do I want an illuminated pumpkin as a kind of witch’s familiar, growling advice at me in James Hetfield’s voice? Speaking of pumpkins. Is it just me, or has October really out-autumned itself this […]

700 Blog Posts & Chatting About THE FUTURE… and scones.
My hands have been playing up, so I filmed a wee 17 minute video instead of spending 4 hours writing the equivalent. A free piece of stationery of your choice to anyone who counts the number of times I say ‘er’. Those links I mention: Stories blog Newsletter sign up Patreon Folksy shop The Princess […]
Oh I Do Like to Be Beside the Seaside…
This morning I saw Southend-on-Sea mentioned in not one but two legitimate news stories. In the first, Southend made a list of the UK’s most polluted towns and cities. But there’s a coast right there with a strong wind to blow away all the fumes! It’s not even as crowded as most cities! I hear you say. […]

My Thursday is doing well. How is yours?
Today I made five phone calls. Okay, four. Okay, three. Okay, I can’t remember. It felt like five. I also bought insurance for an upcoming event I’m too superstitious to talk about until it’s confirmed and asked my bank for a better deal on their business rates (it turns out that asking them to consider […]
Indifferent Ignorance Awards 2016
I’ve been coming up with the annual Indifferent Ignorance awards for long enough that I know to keep ’em cute and to the point. But there’s something about 2016 that’s been so thoroughly appalling that I couldn’t just list a few bits and pieces. So here is the best and absolute worst of 2016. Book of […]
