@rachelcdailey.bsky.social hi Rachel, I’ve received a Twitter DM from you and want to check it’s genuine. I’ve stopped using Twitter for my personal account. Did you DM?

Love this #FrankLloydWright designed office at the V&A Storehouse. Went to see the fabulous #DavidBowie archive and found the rest of the storehouse equally as enthralling.

Our Thames Water bill is now £91 a month. We are a two-person household who shower, not bathe, and have two water butts. #DaylightRobbery #ThamesWater

An image describing Bookshop Day.

Book shops, especially the small independents, are important gems on our high streets. Places of serendipity and discovery to be valued. Support them if you can.

Colourful plants.

Yellow dahlias

Salvia hot lips.

So much autumnal colour in my garden.

Oh congrats!

Great news! @share-uk.bsky.social is creating a community for under-represented writers. If that’s you, complete their survey and you could win book vouchers. See below!

Sure!

@katebod.bsky.social Hi! We're creating a new community for under-represented writers. Could you share our survey so we can understand what's helpful to them? There's book vouchers to win for those who complete the survey. Tx

Last night I watched the fantastic @ledbydonkeys.org by @sohotheatre.bsky.social Walthamstow, and today I watched #Panorama about the Met Police. Thank you for calling corruption, racism, misogyny and violence out.

Ten years ago today, I was off my face on drugs in central London as @uclh.bsky.social removed my cancerous bladder and fitted me with a #Neobladder. Today I celebrate 10 years cancer-free. Thankyou UCLH! #BladderCancer

So not surprised by #Fergie. I had the misfortune of interviewing her many moons ago. #JustAwful

Crikey! Thames Water bill is going up from £53 to £91 a month! We are a household of two who never take baths. What is going on?

Yes. Initial reports said 500 and I could see 500 from where I was standing.

Anyway, you learn something every day and today I learned my waterproof was not in fact waterproof at all. #Soaked

We were very small in comparison. 😞

I’m glad I went to the counter protest to #StandUpToRacism

Thanks to @stagetext.bsky.social for providing captions for Fawlty Towers in the West End last night. @sohotheatre.bsky.social could learn from @nimaxtheatres.bsky.social & get captioned performances on so @elitelipreader.bsky.social & other #Deaf folk can access the new theatre in Walthamstow.

It may be the end of summer but our hanging basket is coming into its own.

Fuschias

Love in a puff

Red roses

A big week beckons so how better to prepare than a spot of gardening? The dahlias I overwintered with mulch are appearing, the fuschias are in full bloom, the love-in-a-puff I grew from seed are starting to flower, and the dwarf roses are having a second wind.

Aww! I’m sorry to hear this. What a wonderful long life she’s had.
