May Mince Pie season commence forthwith.

Every year from the 1st Nov, I unwittingly enter all UK shops into a Mince Pie Competition. Iceland usually wins.

I am one woman, with a score sheet and a penchant for Mince Pies.

I have searched topics I'm familiar with and ai copilot gives innacurate answers every time. I would not trust ai. Actual reliable sources are now thin on the ground. We live in a hearsay world more than ever, even with all that knowledge at our disposal.

Actor David Tennant wears an unbuttoned golden yellow shirt jacket over a white t-shirt. His hair is brown and parted slightly on one side and he's standing in front of a light yellow backdrop. He's smiling and even though his teeth aren't showing, he still looks peaceful and happy. He is the only one in the photo.

Congratulations!

The time changed in the US today, so to combat the bleakness and the extra darkness, your timeline has been blessed by a happy sunshine yellow David Tennant!

Pass ☀️ it ☀️ on ☀️!

I periodically watch the supermarket skit. Wholesome and funny.

Your 1 & 2 ranking this year and mine are the same. Read the rest except I've never finished Suttree and my gut tells me to avoid Outer Dark for some reason. Maybe one day.

'Memento Mori' by Muriel Spark - The Bottle Imp One of the many delights of a Muriel Spark novel is the way in which the ground shifts so delicately under the reader’s feet. Memento Mori begins as a mystery: who is victimising elderly people by mak...

Muriel Spark’s MEMENTO MORI – a novel about the inevitability of death – “is held in perfect balance: play & seriousness, entertainment & challenge, readable plot & postmodern derailment”

Robert Englund got his star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame today.

I totally agree and often advocate for children from this p.o.v.

The learning can't happen if children are not comfortable in their environment, first.

A film you’ve seen more than seven times with a gif.

Will pass it on. Your dog is very lovely.

Unhappy horse, ears back, with a trendy perm.

Horses? He could do with a confidence boost as he'd just bought into the idea of a getting a perm, he's a retro new romantic, but felt self conscious as he left the hairdressers.

Roscoe with 1983 and a postcard of her which depicts her looking unusually cheery

The rear cover of 1983

Hello! My CEO Roscoe and I are giving away TWO signed copies of my novel 1983 to two randomly selected people who repost this & pop a reply below. You also get a free postcard of this illustration of Roscoe by my mum.

It’s been called “Stranger Things rewritten by Kurt Vonnegut & Sue Townsend”…

Haven't read this one, have read others and love your witty style. Would love to read this! Thanks Roscoe- I particularly love the cat stories. ❤️🐱🙏

Sending blessings to the wise ones, seers, teachers, those who read & question, givers, healers, midwives, gardeners, muses, those who sew, crochet, paint, write, sing, play music, bring joy & create, those who see the sacred in every leaf, spider, gust of wind & bend in the river. #Witches #Samhain

I liked it lots. Enjoy.

It's perfectly acceptable to eat a candy apple for breakfast today, isn't it?

‘Dyslexia: Issues with definitions and diagnoses’

“The nature of a definition can fundamentally change how we respond to a special educational need. Dyslexia has been prone to changing definitions, shifting symptoms and different diagnoses.”

My slightly tatty copy of The Stone Diaries by Carol Shields

I was on BBC Radio 4's A Good Read earlier this week, discussing one of my favourite books. You can listen here: www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/...

Detail from a mosaic depicting three similarly sized men. The first on the right is dressed as Anubis. He is wearing a dog mask and red robe. He holds a caduceus. His hands seem to be a different colour to his mask, suggesting he is a human and not the god. The two men to his right are wearing white robes, possibly linen. Both of their heads are clean shaven and they wear feathers on their head, possibly a symbol of priestly office. According to Clement of Alexandria, scribes wore feathers. Above them the text reads ‘November’

So we enter November, aka Anubis month. This image from a calendar mosaic from Thysdrus (El-Jem, Tunisia) depicts a festival commemorating the death of Osiris, which was celebrated all over the Roman Empire (Sousse Archaeological Museum, © Ad Meskens / Wikimedia Commons) 🏺 #AncientBluesky

It's worse than ever. I feel the same. Before, all I had to worry about was the authenticity of this Chimney Sweep film...

Catholics don't do divorce except when they do. He doesn't do anything else Christian anyway, so what difference would this make. I hate this hypocrite with a passion and await his call to judgement.
