@ninaparmenter.bsky.socialOh my!! 😱
@ninaparmenter.bsky.socialThe long sleeves and warm socks and cord trousers are coming out. I mean, the wellies and dog towels are coming out too, which isn’t so great. But mostly, YAY.
@ninaparmenter.bsky.socialMind you, last time I had a book out, we also had a BRAND NEW PUPPY so keep your fingers crossed for me - lightning could strike twice! 🤞🐶 ❤️
@ninaparmenter.bsky.socialLast time I had a book come out, it was while I was having building work done. Never again I said! Let me concentrate on the book I said! Just had a builder confirm he can fit me in to RIP OUT MY KITCHEN - but only on Nov 30th. Which is the day ‘Kiss Chase with Darwin’ comes out. SO SUPER!!
@ninaparmenter.bsky.socialI’ve realised Andrew’s a cunt
@ninaparmenter.bsky.socialWait, he had 2 poached eggs with it? That’s artisanal as fuck.
@ninaparmenter.bsky.socialSuper chuffed to be reading at the launch of Forest Management by S Reeson this Friday!
This gem of a pamphlet tells of dark shadows and self discovery, all set inside *a generic forest based holiday park*.
Also reading will be Victoria Spires and host will be Paul Short

@ninaparmenter.bsky.socialI approve of these suggestions
@ninaparmenter.bsky.socialWhat the ACTUAL HECK do I get my dad for his 80th bday???

@parodypm.bsky.socialReposted by @ninaparmenter.bsky.socialMan who supported Brexit then fucked off to Monaco to avoid contributing a penny of his £15 billion fortune to public services makes the mistake of thinking anyone gives a shit what he thinks.
@ninaparmenter.bsky.socialSO. Only a couple of months til my pamphlet 📔'Kiss Chase with Darwin' is out.
If you want a nudge when it's out, plus cover reveal and general squealing, pop along to my website ninaparmenter.com and sign up for my lovely & infrequent mailing list 😍😍

@ninaparmenter.bsky.socialBy the way Sue, I just read your poem ‘Father’. I just love that opening line about the wet dog - one of those “once read, never forgotten’ images that has really lodged and turned over in my mind xx
@ninaparmenter.bsky.social🥰
@ninaparmenter.bsky.socialYes I had written it off long ago so it was a complete lovely bonus surprise! They have had some troubles with funding apparently.
@ninaparmenter.bsky.socialTrying to be cool about it, but I got an acceptance from The North yesterday 😁
@ninaparmenter.bsky.socialCan’t wait for the launch of this cracking pamph!!
@ninaparmenter.bsky.socialReform’s internal investigation
@ninaparmenter.bsky.socialSo I’m unloading the dishwasher to the soundtrack of some ecstatic trance this morning, because how else do you unload the dishwasher. And I throw my hands up in the air ready for the drop and what pops into my head? “Ooh, that’s a nice stretch for the lower back”. 🙄 🎹🎤 🕺 👵🏻
