Weird thing with Amazon today.

Book is ready now and all sorted for ebook and paperback on Amazon's KDP since yesterday.

Today, email from them that account had been hacked.

Strange eh?

That was a good day.

We'd gotten a bit delivery of oats for the horses, then we went on a ride up the hills.

Nissan the cat was ever present to guard the oats from mice.

Miss those days, miss the bossman, miss the horses. But what memories to have.

They'd all be saving what a warrior she was for skiing with it.

I won't hear a bad word said about her ๐Ÿ˜„

Couldn't agree more. She more than earned her place and even injured she was still one of the favourites.

She's a legend, she skied fine with it in yesterday's session, just got very unlucky today when he pole hit the gate

Aye, me too. Her way with words was just jaw dropping and I was just always thinking, jaysus, I have to ho my game, ha.

So, a plague Dr rescues a tongue-less mermaid and then they come across a group of kids murdering another kid...and then it gets really weird...

Really, really great book. The language was outstanding. Such a brilliant read.

John Spencer | Mini-Manual for the Urban Defender

With the Kyiv attack looming nearly four years ago, Ukrainians shared this book to prepare.

People in #Minnesota, indeed all urban Americans should read it too, things are going to get worse before they get better and you guys need to tool up...

Would it've been nice to get a real-life Logan Roy moment, eh?

All this nonsense just to hide the fact that he's a rapist.

If following the @fesshole.bsky.social account has taught me anything, it's that British people love to piss in their sinks.

Currently reading...

It's great, a native American vampire, a story told from the perspective of a pastor in the 1912 who uses loads of archaic religious lingo and then a switch to a modern voice.

Great read.

โ€˜Soon I will die. And I will go with a great orgasmโ€™: the last rites of Alejandro Jodorowsky The Chilean film-makerโ€™s psychedelic work earned him the title โ€˜king of the midnight movieโ€™, and a fan in John Lennon. Now the 96-year-old is ready for the end โ€“ but first there is more living to do

Genius, love this man

Coincidence or synchronisity?

The boy is learning sex ed. at moment.

He's 10, so great, good and early, get itout of the way...

Some of it is hilarious, for example a wet dream is called "zmaza nocna", which literally means "nocturnal emission."
