okay and here is my ‘sounds like a shitpost but it’s genuine’ UK heatwave tip: if there is a Saxon or Norman church near you, and it’s open, go sit in it. not gothic, they have too many windows, get you some thick stone walls with some high up tiny windows. they stay cold. and you can just sit there

Just a small wave at anyone caught up in the Unbound/Boundless mess that you can get advice from the Society of Authors on contracts if you're a member. It's £32 a quarter, cheaper if you're over 65/under 35. Pretty much anyone at any stage of a writing career can join as an associate member.

If you haven’t watched #DoctorWho yet and don’t want #Spoilers The I would avoid visiting The BBC’s own Homepage or News Website.

Today is #NationalBiscuitDay - what biscuits are politicians most similar to: Keir Starmer = Malted milk - not as popular as they used to be Angela Rayner = hob nob - often in hot water but emerge unscathed Lee Anderson = party rings - turn up at a lot of different parties
