Hello darkness, my old friend... At that lovely bit of starting a new book, when the amorphous mass of ideas and characters in my brain have to be wrestled into a plot structure that makes sense.

The 11 y/o today, summing up the mental state of the nation: “Mum, has Wednesday happened yet?” #christmasholidays #confused

Me, in sighing tones to youngest child this evening: “Please don’t do things that are going to make me shout at you.” #parenting

It’s coming!!! I can’t wait for all my wonderful readers to meet Jess and Nathan ❤️

Well, #Amandaland was a delight and I highly recommend it for the many lols as well as the hot ex-History Boy neighbour. I am yet to recover from “Shin fame” and I feel it may be some time.

All of this is 100% accurate, and various events in the timeline set out here happened to me. TWICE! Relentless ‘breast is best’ agenda pushing causes tangible harm to mothers and babies and IMO likely *undermines* bf. Make it stop.

Congrats Fiona Veitch Smith! Happy pub day 🥰❤️

Daughter has this moment spontaneously brought me sourdough toast in bed on my day off. So for all those people wondering: eventually, yes, there will be recompense for those 25,000 times you were not allowed to just HAVE A WEE IN PEACE during the toddler years. Happy Friday!
