I get that, we cannot give/listen to others from an empty cup.

Sir Ian McKellen performing a monologue from Shakespeareโ€™s Sir Thomas More on the Stephen Colbert show. Never have I heard this monologue performed with such a keen sense of prescience. Nor have I ever been in this exact historical moment.TY Sir Ian, for reaching us once again.

I get that as well when they find out Iโ€™m a mental health nurse, a classic question is โ€œdo you analyse people?โ€. Lots of my medical colleagues get this too. ๐Ÿ˜‚

I had a beautiful Brigidโ€™s Cross bought in Westport in County Mayo where my brother lives. It used to sit above my living room door but got broken during a house move. I bought it as I really liked the history and significance of it which I related to as a fellow Celt.

I darenโ€™t read her book, I imagine it would be sad and heartbreaking.

They look so good, would be lovely with butter straight out the oven.

Looking good. Certainly will be needed if further cold weather happens, which has been forecast to happen in next 2 weeks.

Iโ€™ve been applying my gel to both forearms so will just layer it on the one and see if any difference.

This was in some Glasgow (where I live) news sites, read about it yesterday. So sad, cannot begin to imagine what her parents are going through.

Watching this from Scotland,looks terrifying what is happening in Minneapolis and the rest of America. So sad to see what is happening to so many people.

Just caught up on tonightโ€™s episode of uk traitors. Cannot wait to hear the questions Harriet will ask the traitors. Fiona -what a rocket ๐Ÿš€ made me laugh so much & absolutely brilliant on Traitors Uncloaked, I think Ed Gamble just loves her. He should take her on one of his comedy tours. #traitors

The final two first edition hardbacks of my novel 1983 that I have in my house.

Two cut-out linoprint hares by my mum, Jo. This is a hare linoprint which she originally did to illustrate a chapter in my earlier (non-fiction) book, Ring The Hill, which has a hare subtheme darting through it.

I thought it might be nice to give away my last 2 signed hardbacks of my novel 1983, with two lovely linocut hares by my mum.

All you have to do to enter is repost this (& leave a reply).

The book's been called "Stranger Things rewritten by Kurt Vonnegut and Sue Townsendโ€.
