Have to confess I've not much #WeekendWatching to share this week.

Although I'm still enjoying the various FBI series, amd about to start the fourth series of the main FBI show. 😀

This week's Friday evening Sainsbury's and Asda shopping! 😀

(Bonus points if you spot the item I usually buy that's missing 🙀)

Plus another great sky in #Aberdeen this evening.

It's Jinx the tabby bobtail wearing her biggest Friday smile.

It's FriYAY! Smile!

"Hi Simon, can you help with..."

I occassionally get messages asking me to answer book related questions.

One of the best places to ask is at the Books & Networking events!

Come along to our next event on 12th November - get your ticket at: www.eventbrite.com/e/books-netw...

This feels like a disaster waiting to happen!

What if the AI teacher says something they don't (either due to a bug, pupils tampering, etc.) how will that reflect on real teacher, etc.

There's something exciting about having a letter printed in letters page!

I got a letter printed in Captain America around this time (can't remember issue, although was a double sized issue).

Also had number of letters printed in more recent years in letters pages of Panini's UK reprint titles. 😀

Clockwise, from bottom right is Cheddar, Socky, Chewy, and Figgy. They are all sleeping on a bed with a yellow blanket.

Dis be rare

All four of us in bed

Camra kliks

Marketing your book: sales versus readers You have released your book - a great achievement - and now you need to get people to buy and read your book. It won't magically happen - you are competing against thousands (if not millions) of books...

NEW BLOG POST!

Once your book is published, what's your biggest priority - more people buying your book, or more people reading?

They can be the same, however they can be completely different goals, that determine how you market and promote your book...

I watch at the pace they are broadcast on Pick TV, whivch helps. I.e. just watching that weeks episodes (or in some cases a few weeks episodes). Rather then in one go.

Behind on 2007 Emmerdale, as don't watch them as often as I use to, probably a sign that time to stop, rather than catching up!

Did get the cards, and still have them. Never actually played them, but they where great fun artwork etc.

A great line-up. Fantastic Four 2099 was great, even with the sudden change of storyline/direction halfway through. Spider-man, X-Men, X-Nation etc. all great - like that they didn't play it safe by just having everyone be descendants of originals, and did new/different things.

Still going through FBI Most Wanted and FBI International - also about to start on fourth series of main FBI show.

Plus still watching 2007 Emmerdale... inc. episodes withbrief return of old characters as guest stars. Definitely see decline in quality, but still much much better than modern show.

This evening's sky! 😀 #aberdeen

Side note - I miss the days when Poundland sold everything for £1!

At the restaurant I was served a bowl of leafs, sprouts, cucumbers, cherry tomatoes and a balsamic dressing. The presentation was terrible!

How could they mess this up? It's not exactly rocket salad!

Definitely worth reading.

I was always excited to see Pacheco's name attached to something. Carlos Pacheco and Alan Davis where probably the first two artists whose names I noticed, and would read stuff if they where involved. 😀

Which books do we discuss at Books & Networking?

Unlike a traditional book club, there's no specific book - we discuss what everyone's reading.

Plus plenty of networking.

Our next meeting is on Wednesday 12th November in Aberdeen - be great to see you there!

I remember the Union Street group didn't post anything on social media for months, and the day M&S announce closure they awkwardley post something.

And then more recently say the now vacant M&S store has nothing to do with them since its technically not Union Street... couldn't make it up! 😂

Still miss the M&S at Union Street - use to go there every day (only been to Union Square store once since the closure). Understand why they had to close (the building was in such disrepair) but still a big loss for the city centre!

Legally change your name to Richard... and then you become Rich! ;)

#WrongKindOfRich

I remember enjoying this crossover at time (plus the Avengers annual that concluded the Squadron Supreme storyline... especially for the Carlos Pacheco art!)! 😀

This evening's sky! 😀 #aberdeen

Hopefully this isn't a crack in time and space from the 11th Doctor's era!! 😀 #DoctorWho

Describe your BlueSky account in a single image.

The medallion looks a bit like something from Doctor Who/Gallifrey... 😊
