Traitor Trump will spend the entire night trying to spin his disastrous Oval Office ambush stunt into a political win. Zelenskyy is a war hero. Trump is an all-time zero.

30 yrs ago, my mum planted some spring bulbs under our, then newly planted, tiny tree. The tree is now 30 ft tall. We had some of the lower branches removed in January so the ground gets more sunlight, which could explain why the crocuses are much bigger this year! #nature #Spring2025

Having rewatched the footage of Zelenskyy's meeting with Trump, it's obvious the whole thing was a set up. Trump never had any intention of making a deal. It was an odious, spiteful, schoolboy trick. What a creature the tangerine twerp is. #IStandwithUkraine

So relieved Zelenskyy has walked out. How could he possibly trust the two creatures he's had to waste his time on today? Poor man.

I hope Zelensky doesn't sign a treaty with DonaldTrump. Trump and Vance's bullying of Zelensky in the press conference which has just been broadcast revealed them to be the thugs I always thought they were. How can the President of Ukraine possibly trust them? #Ukraine

I finished beta reading today, so tmrw I'll be back to working on my wip. I'm looking forward to reconnecting with the characters, but before I can do any writing I need to tweak the outline. So I'll be dragging out the postcards again. Is it weird that I'm looking forward to it? 🤭 #writingcommunity

I went out see the planetary alignment. Given I don't have a telescope, I was never going to be able to spot all seven planets, but I think I saw four in a line. There's a distinct possibility I captured two of them on camera, but I wouldn't like to swear to it in a court of law! #planetaryalignment

I've just finished the final revisions of my manuscript. Apart from one more read through for typos, there's nothing else I can do. I'm so excited. I will be flinging myself into the #queryingtrenches next week, but for now, I'm going to have a glass of Prosecco. Cheers! #writingcommunity

Like all writers, I love a #notebook. The other day I came across this unused one. To judge by its 'Tea with the Queen' cover, I guess it was sold around the time of the Queen's 70th jubilee. At least, I hope it was for her 70th & not the 60th yr celebrations! 🤣 #itsthelittlethings #writingcommunity

Oof. This is an incredibly powerful piece. Writing, working, caring, parenting, self care, ageing, the tensions between them and how we carve our time for ourselves in the middle.

The utterly brilliant & compelling 'Shy Creatures' has been my 1st read of 2025 & what a fabulous way to start my reading year! Cram packed with wonderful characters, with a plot that keeps you turning the pages, this was a hugely enjoyable & satisfying read. Loved it! #ShyCreatures #amreading
