What’s that you say? Little old me taking part in #noiratthebaybar at @baytales.bsky.social next weekend? So excited to be on the bill for this and talk all things Troublemaker. It’s going to be an awesome weekend. 😁 #booksky @vulpinepress.bsky.social

#TOTP tonight reminding me that the New Radicals had a huge hit with You Get What You Give (aka one of the best songs of the 90s), followed up with an awesome album, announced a show, cancelled the show and split up in the course of a few months. 😁 I had tickets for that gig too 😳

Sorry but I can no longer hear Cuddly Toy by Roachford without wanting to lean out of the nearest window midway through and shout ‘YOUR FOG LAMPS ARE ON….’ #TOTP

No of course I didn’t find #thetraitors finale unbearably tense, whatever gave you that idea? 😳🤣

2026 is the National Year of Reading.

Whether you favour a paperback, ebook, audio or comic book just pick one up and give it a go.

Reading has so many benefits, what do you have to lose?

Last Saturday: living it up on my holidays, flying business class, staying in a lovely hotel, eating pizza and sipping cocktails and generally living it up.
This Saturday: sitting at home in my pyjamas trying to guess the identity of a singing sloth. 🤦🏻‍♀️🤣 #maskedsinger

Blondie’s awesome Maria on #TOTP is reminding me that it was around this period of my life that I ended up on the same flight as Deborah Harry. Would have been a better claim to fame if we’d actually spoken, mind. 😁

Apologies for the old radio silence - been on holiday, while helping my daughter move countries (albeit temporarily). Exciting bookish things will return soon, I promise. 😁 #amediting #booksky

Nothing says spirit of Christmas quite like trawling through four shops at 5pm on Christmas Eve for a last minute pack of mini mince pies 😁 Consider the festive season saved.

It was! Still on one of my playlists, which is more than can be said for Cliff.

Pop quiz, #TOTP 1990 viewers, what song knocked Cliff’s Saviour’s Day off the number one spot? It worries me a little that of all the number ones in all the world this is the one I’ve never forgotten 😁

Watching #TOTP 1990’s Christmas special with some trepidation, remembering that this was the year I started work in magazines. Am elderly. 😳

Just one of those days where I have to buy another 27 books on my Kindle because I've got a trip coming up and I'm worried the 150 or so unread ones I have on there won't be enough...😆 #booksky

Electric Callboy Can’t Play Darts, But They Slayed Ally Pally I hate Alexandra Palace. I spent many a childhood day out there and used to love it, but when my dad stopped driving me everywhere, my trips stopped too. So, it’s in an awkward part of North London…

Daughter's latest blog entry sheds light on why making the trek out to Alexandra Palace was worth it to see the blimmin' awesome Electric Callboy. 😀 #blog #review

The irony that I am watching Robin Beck sing Coke anthem The First Time on #TOTP 1988 while sipping my beverage of choice has not been lost on me. 😁

Daughter and I wenr to see The Rasmus tonight (who were great, of course) and bumped into Lee Jennings, lead singer of support act The Funeral Portrait, by the merch stand. Photo had to be done. Right after he’d used Emily as an armrest. 😁 #gig #metal

2025. Had a book published, wrote a couple more books. Might have listened to Fannybaws a little too often. 😁 #spotifywrapped
