Rosemary Sutcliff did an excellent job of reassuring me that Macsen Wledig was a historical personage.

RT if you've never had a tab of ChatGPT open, period.

Boys do NOT notice mess!

I retrace steps and visit the scene of the alleged crime, and I find the missing sock/book/trowel. In 33 years my husband has never learned how to do this. Of course, I also jump to conclusions and accused daughter 2 of taking my book to her room last night as her Proust had been left on the table.

Red deer, otter, seals, dolphins, and this. Little Loch Broom, Wester Ross.

If you see this we IMPLORE you to post a picture from whatever device you’re using without an explanation.

KDP are worse than Lulu, definitely. The bigger the organisation, the less interested they are (or can be) in paying attention.

They are slow, expensive and will take every opportunity to make you pay over the average. (This was for books.) I've found an alternative for my ebooks and I think Ingram Spark may also be better for print but haven't priced them yet.

Shopping in whisky country but not as we know it, Jim.

By boat? From St A to Ipswich, exchanged for supplies in Suffolk and then back to the farm.

I hope it works! Nothing seems broken. I had no idea Mum had it, but the drawers and cupboards in her attic are like a Victorian hoarder's dream (from HER mother).

Shockingly good advertising because I just bought 5 books from them. This is the company set up to rescue and republish authors left high and dry by the shameful Unbound abandonment.

Located and extracted a long-lost rug from Mum's attic. Marvelled at her collection of family trunks and suitcases. Gave her 2 jars of my chutney and a jar of mincemeat, gained a woven fish mobile and a Victorian wool-winding swift. Thus the family shuffling of objects and gifts continues.

The reverberations from the female Ghostbusters pile-on reached mainstream media in countries not the USA.

Quite a long road trip.

At around 6:00 a.m., Russia launched a missile strike on Pryluky, Chernihiv Oblast. One missile hit a five-story residential building. At this time, the bodies of three children have been recovered from under the rubble, and the death toll has risen to nine people.

When my in-laws ask what my books are about, aargh. When they think SFF is just Star Trek, and I doubt that any of them would go to a bookshop out of choice.
