So cute!!!

FYI
The black cat, Jack, is 20.
The grey cat, Pippin, is 6 months.

Someone is being an absolute menace today.

Casually dropping the term “Skibbidi Toilet” into conversation with my youngest to make him explode with embarrassment

Ankh-Morpork prepares for war, which is no good if your job is keeping the peace. Vimes does what he knows, even when it takes him outside his city. We discuss the good influence this book has on us and how it is, regrettably, still very relevant right now.

Though technically he already is home…

Three stories out on Submission.
Weyward - The Weird Sisters receive three visitors with three agendas.
Moment in Translation - Scientists testing an alien translation device make a startling discovery.
Doorways of Death - in a modern world, Necromancers perform a valuable service at funerals.

Alfred Pennyworth with a shotgun saying they will not be able to escape.

Tim Curry as the butler in the Clue movie holding a pistol.

What picture when I read “Butlerian Jihad.”

Book 1…Snoopy here planning the trilogy

Be bo bo bo-bo bo.
Be bo bo bo-bo bo.
Be bo bo bo-bo bo.

I’m a cat man.

Pippin the Kitten.
Or Pipsqueak, Pip, Pippy Longstockings, Pipsi Max, Dr Pipper.

Commuting these last couple of weeks mad me remember why I hate relying on busses.

You wait for a bus and it’s due, the app live map says it’s due, and then the bus company takes it off without warning leaving you to wait round for another one.

Couple of rules snafu’s but nothing major and it’s all a learning experience.

Had my first Age of Sigmar battles with the Idoneth Deepkin at the weekend in prep for the usual Christmas Tournament.

Border War
Tested out two army lists, the first vs Troggoths, the second vs Soulblight Gravelords.
Win both but the first was a bit better.

It's looking increasingly unlikely that I've made it to the face-to-face interview step for a Hachette Traineeship. Was meant to hear back the W/C 17th November.

Sad times.
I'm happy I was longlisted but I'm gutted I haven't made it, I was really looking forward my first steps into the industry.

You can keep your Excalibur, your Glaive, your Lightsaber, your Anduril, and even your Spear of Destiny.

The only fictional weapon that I need is Rincewind’s half-brick inna sock.

And also with you

Off for my first session as an academic support worker.

One of the things that interested me most about this job is sitting in for a variety of different courses.
Today is international relations.

Really need to get back to playing Warhammer more.

“Cat?”

Yes, Fran had acquired a new cat. Kitten. At 14 weeks old, allow me to introduce Pippin/Pip.
So named as he is a very mischievous cat who would absolutely be the one to wake the goblins in Moria and touch a wizard’s orb without permission.

Imagine if you will…

Friday the 31st October, Halloween, during the walk to the Titan Publishing party in Brighton, Fran messaged me,

“I have a confession to make.”

I’m sure you can imagine all the possible scenarios that could come from that sentence but for me there was only one.

Me too. They won’t tell me how long I’ll be on and they won’t do any private provisions.

Hope you get sorted soon. It’s a shambles I know.

Job news.

On Tuesday I had my induction as an Academic Support Worker for Barry Bennett LTD, helping disabled students in higher education.

Got my quarterly text to confirm I’m on the adult adhd wait list.

This makes 3 years on the list.

Everything ok?

Induction for my new job in academic student support this morning.

Now to invigilate more GCSE mock exams.
