Six weeks to go until Hero gallops into bookshops on September 4! I think that's respectable enough time to start a count-down? @FireflyPress

I (very bravely 😂) gave up gaming years ago to focus on writing. I'd come to the conclusion that one or the other had to go and I'm glad I chose writing. But this trailer makes me want to get back into it so much! NSFW youtube.com/watch?v=E_4kAp…

Went into this with low expectations but it was pretty good, a well acted, well written classic ghost story (tw;domestic violence)

Mummy raccoon with three babies made an appearance. She was growling at us every time we walked past and now we understand why!

Usually too cold to swim in the creek but for a couple of months at the height of summer it’s amazing. Dragonflies skimming the water and hawks screeching overhead, it feels very special

Just spent an hour editing a doc then cheerily selected "don't save" for some idiotic reason. Urgh! I really should learn to save as I go along...
