Midlands writer, comedian and academic. Not on here much because I am trying to remember I have principles and that includes not fanning the flames of hate.

Off to the #BigComedyConference today which of course involves an overly complicated travel plan. Still, got some light reading.

Just wanted to say this.

Visited Würzburg Residenz, where these little imps set the tone for the next two days in Sommerach - a village made almost entirely of wine.

Van packed and ready to go up and join the support crew for MittelBarker in the marathon this weekend. Not too supportive though in case he beats my time. Although these days I barely run a bath.


I’m afraid I have had to cancel any remaining appointments this afternoon.

Post-work activities. Please buy my house so I can move somewhere with a potting shed and Keith can have his dining table back.

Reposting from Instagram because I’m still wallowing in the sheer depth of my wit.

Any ideas @JSpencerAytac @penny_author ? Apart from “everyone employing freelancers should ask what’s in their access rider” which I think I shall now add to my personal manifesto.

FREELANCE DISABLED ARTY PEOPLE! (Esp those with fatigue related conditions) I am trying to write myself an access rider for freelance work and wondered if anyone with energy limiting conditions has any advice/experience? what kind of stuff have you asked for and been granted?



Thank you @HarrisKeri for our little puzzle diversion this evening, even if I did do everything in the “wrong” order. I opened the beer first, that can’t have been wrong! @puzzle_post


Very important at this time of year to check for hedgehogs in bonfires. Also check for owls in barbecues, badgers in slow cookers and newts in microwaves. You can’t be too careful.


Overheard in the pub: someone had a terrible trip to Scotland because they waited too long for lasagne in a pub… and “the stick to stir porridge is a spuddle, and they put ski-doos in their socks”. 🤦‍♀️


Things I find in my pocket on the way to meetings. 1/n
