An excerpt from an in-progress sci-fi detective novel project, which reads: ‘Six hours,’ Vickers shook his head as he threw his overnight backpack into the cramped trunk of Brousse’s Subaru. ‘Suppose I always thought LA was like, the next big city over. Just a little downstate, you know?’ ‘It’s both of those things’—Brousse slammed the trunk shut—‘and it’s a six-hour drive.’ ‘Bloody hell your country’s big,’ said Vickers. ‘If I drove north for six hours from my old flat, I’d practically be in Scotland. Well, not quite, but the North of England at the very least. Which does feel like another country, let me tell you.’ ‘Yes, your country is very fucking tiny, Vickers, have we not already had this discussion?’ said Brousse. ‘Look, ‘it’ll be fine, man. The roads are straight as hell. I’ll drive ’til I get bored or tired or pissed off or whatever, and you can handle the rest. We hit it hard, we’ll be there by sundown.’ ‘You don't mind me getting behind the wheel of the ol’ XT again?’ Brousse raised an eyebrow. ‘You drive like an elderly pangolin, I think it’ll be fine.’ ‘An elderly … pangolin?’ ‘Yeah, a pangolin, a fucking pangolin, man, you never watch a wildlife documentary before? Little aardvark-cockroach looking thing. Notoriously timid creatures, Vickers. Just like your ass.’ ‘Ok, yeah I think I—’ ‘So this one show about pangolins, it was showing how they’re being hunted for their scales or whatever. Those poor motherfuckers’ souls truly are too gentle for this cruel world.’ ‘Seems like it had a real effect on you.’ ‘Those little guys, they were getting attacked, you know, by poachers. And all they could think to do was curl up into a fucking ball and let those the assholes snatch ‘em right up off the ground. ‘Yeah that’s tough,’ said Vickers. ‘Evolution didn’t do too much to prepare them for us to come along I guess.’ ‘Yep, those dumbasses don’t deserve to survive,’ said Brousse, ‘if that’s all the game they’ve got. ‘Cute though. That all your stuff?’

Some shaggy-ass dough in a bowl with plastic wrap on the top. Looks kinda messy.

this morning’s dough, proved overnight in a cool room. Time to pop it near the radiator for a few hours #pizzafriday 🍕

100%. Not only is it sad, but every year that mentality is totally disproven, again and again. If they want a sure thing, stocks and shares are right there.

Tough one. Obviously you’d rather original stuff, yeah? But jumping on IP is basically the only proven route to studio funding, so I do see the merit in remaking shite rather than unnecessarily revisiting classics.

Not that this IP has any particular cache with me.

Excuse my optmism, it’ll pass.

wholewheat. The outcome was surprisingly good for pizza dough - the right amount of crisp and chewy.

Pizza. Looks like prosciutto and green olive to me

mmm it’s #pizzafriday 🍕

A pizza

wholemeal dough was quite stiff, but forgiving to work with, leading to among the roundest I’ve hand-stretched. Decent crisp texture to crust, but less volume than regular dough. Flavour: let’s see #pizzafriday 🍕

‘What, you ended Woody’s arc?’
‘Ah, wouldn’t take.’

tiny bubbly goodness. Another hour or so, then I’ll chill to avoid overproving #pizzafriday 🍕

Just a top-down view of some pizza dough proving in a glass bowl under plastic wrap. Only it’s made with wholemeal flour, so it’s a bit wrong. Today’s Pizza Friday is an experimental one.

the beast begins to awaken …

this brings me great joy. Oh Harry.

A note reads: ‘Look on desk daddy in bedrooom. oh, and open.’ And there’s a picture of the present, in pink, brown and yellow felt tip pen. Another, smaller note reads: ‘❤️ Love you daddy happy new year!’ There’s also the gift itself, which I only discovered later was merely the box, and there was actually a small treasure (tiny translucent LEGO piece) inside.

rediscovered this from a couple of weeks ago, lovely sneaky gift from my 6 year old, gave me the right lip quivers it did

So proud, he’s got his dad’s overuse of comma 😊🥰

a big festive listen fair play to the two people who’ve read a combined half of one of my books on Christmas actual Day. Whether you celebrate Jesus Day or not, that’s a decent chunk of national holiday you chose to spend in Wire City and I hope it didn’t disappoint.

just to add some regional context, I’ve never seen a British publication use the word ‘gaol’ for anything other than to evoke some sort of old-timey penitentiary, so that’s an odd detail in this report. In fact I had to override my UK dictionary-enabled phone’s autocorrect just now to even write it.
