Had great fun reading a flash at the Auchterarder Book Festival. I read this one from the 2021 @natflashfictionday.bsky.social anthology on the theme of magic.

15 years today since my father died. My local library has one of his books in their local interest section. Sometimes I forget this but I paid it a wee visit today.

Just finished this, after racing through the last third of it. Loved it although now I will pine for a handsome, kind, emotionally intelligent (millionaire) Noah in my life 😐
