There’s a lot of fires going on at the moment, thanks to a combination of the insanely hot, dry weather and - well - idiots. We were in a delightful pub up Caerphilly mountain on Friday night when the alerts started to roll in on people’s phones, shattering the relative quiet of happy diners with shrill beeps as the various networks rolled them out....

Me and the Littlest Hobo....

Regular readers (hellooo!) will recall that earlier this year I made the decision to end my relationship with the father of the Things. 22 years together meant that there’s a lot to untangle …

332: busy doing nothing

A minimalist post this week as I have spent it doing and thinking as little as possible, and quite honestly it’s been blissful. Things making me happy this week Coffee and a catch up with the girl cousin gang in Caerphilly Schitt’s Creek - how have I only just discovered this? New crochet project while watching the above Lie-ins and lazy evenings…...

331: delete, file, reply, repeat

It’s Saturday night and I’ve spent the day in the office, supporting a comics workshop in our creative studio. I like working the odd Saturday - it means I get to see some of the welcomers and volunteers who aren’t always working in the week. Crucially, as I wasn’t in the workshops, I got to spend some time swimming in the depths of my inbox....

Honestly, gang, the second half of 2026 needs to pull its socks up and do a damn sight better than the first, as none of the stuff in the past six months was on my life bingo card back in January. …

328: all join in

Yesterday was our first family event at the Centre, called All Join In after one of our founder's books. I feel quite relaxed about the whole thing now it's over but there were definitely a few moments this week when I was worried it wasn't going to happen! As regular readers will recall, I've been off work for a few weeks post accident and all the planning time I'd blocked out had to be compacted into five days....
