You are not “behind.” There is no universal writer timeline. Tolkien published Fellowship at 62. Raymond Chandler started at 44. Your story doesn’t care about your age. Keep writing 😊

That's me sorted for the next few days. On both sides, hopping down in Kent (usually Cobham) was a summer ritual for the grandmothers, taking the grandchildren with them

Many of these men also had girlfriends & side families, so in the 1970s a single income could support not one but two families, fast forward today, the man, the wife, the side chick, the wife’s boyfriend all have to work, & some of the kids even have to pick up a part time job.

Done with Camus. The Fall is his masterpiece, followed by The Plague. The short story The Renegade is his most abstract & best piece of writing. His essay Reflections on the Guillotine is a brilliant analysis of capital punishment & how it engenders a Sisyphean cycle of revenge.

I interrupt your scrolling to show you some photos of my cat’s toes. Permission was NOT given to post these, but she’s in arrears with her rent this month. As you were.

We all need a pea when we get up 😊

There's literally nothing that all my hens love better than bickering over a morning treat of green peas, flung randomly across the grass — the perfect start to any day (apparently)
