Trafalgar Square Christmas market was a bit shite, but lots of smiling faces and a cheeky trip to Waterstones made up for it. #london #christmas #trafalgarsquare

I thought I was the only person who didn't like Yellowface, but then I mention that to people and they go "oh, me too." I'm building a community here. #books

Top 0.1% of Herb Alpert fans this year. Do I get a special hat? #herbalpert #spotify #wrapped

I had to amend the sign my wife put on our bedroom door, using a Sharpie.

Essential writing supplies from my sainted mother, who made the trip all the way to London to deliver this new lighter. Bless her. #writers #authors

Whenever an author writes "[character] swore" instead of writing a naughty word, it's because the character just yelled "cunt!" and made the author blush. Help them out by yelling the word yourself whenever you encounter this phrase. This also applies to audio books. #reading #books #authors

Massive away win for the little fella.

Today, in a small but overwhelming victory, I wrote the outline for the first 14 chapters of a new book. #writers #authors

Bernard is now six months old, and no longer looks like he has scrofula. This pleases me. #dog #chihuahua #idiot

To start the day on the right note, my beloved wife spat a mouthful of whipped cream at me. There is no context or backstory to his, she just felt like doing it. #marriage #help

I have two ideas for what to do with my time. Since one of them is impractical, unless I learn how to code, build a foolproof AI image auto-deleter, and get a job at Bluesky, I'll have to go with option 2 and write a fucked up horror novel instead. Yay, goals.

Hey humans, if you're in the UK and looking for Christmas gifts, please consider buying art from me. I still have enough time to fit in a few commissions to be delivered in time for Christmas, although I likely won't for very long. #art www.numonday.com/shop/tinymon...

Why is Bluesky expanding while Xitter falls into the crack of mount doom? I have written a lengthy blogspot post all about the phenomenon, with many references and quotes, and because it's such an important topic, I won't be publishing it and also it doesn't exist. You're welcome.

Getting ready for Christmas, Bernard has a special outfit picked out.

Had a lovely day today, putting things in frames and sticking them to the walls. That's it, really.

Went to the countryside for a while to visit family. On the first day, a random woman at Costa started proselytising Reform UK and "taking our country back", but that's the countryside for you. On the up side, Bernard used a puddle as a bidet, which was quite funny. #dogs #racists #trees

Desperately excited to start Annihilation, the new novel from Michel Houellebecq, once I've had a good sleep. That's it, a #books post, that's all I've got.

Bernard's adventures continue. We took him for his first ever walk, in Hyde Park, and he seemed to enjoy it. He's definitely the reason why my social battery lapel badge is in the green now. #dog

Bernard the chihuahua puppy has become a local celebrity. Went out for a birthday pint and the staff were quite taken with him. #dog
