Today I learnt that a US popover is like a UK Yorkshire pudding but made with butter. Every day is a school day in #Romancelandia :) #AmReading

My laptop is in the shop (unexpectedly), so I am forced to sit in the sun and drink tea. Sigh. 😎 #AmNotEditing

Lavender, hydrangea and crocosmia flowers next to a wooden table and a mug of tea.

This is the whole thing, by the way. Interrupted Reading by Jean-Baptiste-Camille Corot, c. 1870. We all know this feeling...

The Oxford Dictionaries site is seriously getting on my wick. No, I don't want to have to sign in again every few minutes when I'm in the middle of a damn line edit! Curses. I've no idea why this change was necessary. #AmEditing #AmAnnoyed

Seriously, look at this cover! 😍How to Fake It in Society by @kjcharleswriter.com is a gorgeous romance and a fun read. Personally, I enjoyed learning a host of new-to-me French expletives - very handy! #Romancelandia #AmReading

If you're looking for something for Trans Rights Readathon #TRR this hits the spot. Well-written, entertaining, and clever. Lovely relationship arc developing, and a lot of fun. I'm looking forward to the next collection of stories. CW: Beware the Tiger chapter if you love animals. Read the reviews.

I've seen so many recs for this from #Romancelandia, but somehow didn't feel it would be for me. How wrong I was! I'm halfway through, and it's utterly lovely ❤️ Do read it! #AmReading #Romance

Sometimes, we have to look hard for the good news... and on Saturday IT DID NOT RAIN IN #NorthWales!!!

A wide sandy beach under a blue sky with white clouds. There are mountains in the distance, and in the foreground, a hand reaches out to pat a small (very old) dog.

I just saw the Turner Prize Exhibition in Bradford. Honestly, amazing art by real human people. #Art #NoAI

Yes, that is my new jumper you're mangling, thank you! Cat-sitting is a mixed pleasure... 🐈‍⬛️

Anglesey was very blue today, and Fred enjoyed some rare off-lead freedom (as he's too decrepit to bother other dogs now :) #StetWalk #StetPet #AmEditing

A small brown and white dog noses around seaweed in a rocky bay. The sea and sky are bright blue.

A bit of a weird one, but the peek into post-war publishing was fun. #AmReading www.goodreads.com/review/show/...

More gorgeous Scotland. New Slains Castle. I thought it would make a great setting for a novel, perhaps a murder or a romance or both! I didn't realise it had a connection to Bram Stoker at the time. #StetWalk #AmEditing

A rocky coast with masses of pink sea thrift and a very blue, sparkling sea.

A huge ruined castle in pink brick and red sandstone with a wall in the foreground covered in pink flowers.

Stumbled upon one of the settings for Local Hero yesterday. Beautiful spot, although slightly obscured by the haar. #StetWalk #Scotland Watched the film last night for pure nostalgia.

Ah, lovely Newcastle ❤️ I've revisited the Baltic, the Laing and the Hatton galleries, the Hancock Museum, the Sunday market... Many a #StetWalk, not much #Editing!

It's true! We had a Christmas Day traffic jam some years ago when the llamas made a break for it. (I think they're llamas not alpacas?)

Some llamas wandering down a country road.

I'm sure I'm behind the curve here, but if you formally object to Meta using your public posts for #AI, they tell you they won't. Not sure if they will, but I feel it's worth the time, even for my piddling amount of data. It is, after all, mine.🤷‍♀️

Letter from Meta re AI: Hi Jenny. We will honour your objection for your public information, such as public posts and comments, and for your messages with AIs. This means that we won't use your public information from FB or Instagram or your messages with AIs for future development and improvement of generative AI models for AI at Meta.

#StetWalk in the Japanese Garden in Regent's Park. I don't recall the London parks being quite so decorous as this one, but maybe that's because I used to live in Sarf London 😀

A pond framed by the branches of a willow tree with daffodils in the foreground.

A striped lawn of vivid green grass backed by flowering trees and shrubs in pink and white.

Saturday ##StetWalk #AmEditing #Anglesey 😎

A huge sandy beach stretches away with mountains in the distance. A lone walker (and dog?) is at the edge of the sea. Bright blue sky and fluffy white clouds.

Not my usual fare, but it was on a stack of books in the bathroom🤷‍♀️ I liked the unnamed hero and his dry, rather cynical pragmaticism (and the mercifully short chapters). The author employs a weirdly whimsical approach to metaphor and simile. My favourite: He was as calm as a Camembert 🤔 #AmReading

Book cover: Len Deighton - Horse Under Water. A grey submarine on its side with pale blue and darker blue stripes emanating from the image.

Reacting to @kokedit.bsky.social post about the dangers of sitting still for too long, I got one of those clever apps that tell you to 'Move' every hour. Entirely redundant, of course, as I've already got the canine equivalent. Usually, when I've just got my head in the zone... Grrrrr. #AmEditing

Why have I not read this bonkers romance before? There is some dubious stuff in here, but Jessica is a total badass! (Read Alexis Hall's excellent review via GR for the low-down) #Romancelandia #AmReading
