Oh dear, I do hope your recovery is as swift as possible!

Sharing because though 'cult' things are nice this book needs to be read by loads more people because it's brilliant and strange and will live in your head for a while, popping up occasionally, especially if you find yourself on a Dorset beach. The bookmark will be gorgeous too.

This is one of your best sheep/tree photographs ever. I definitely wouldn't mess with her about ownership of that beach...

Great spooky news!!!

Now I just have to try not to get lost in the white, featureless corridors of Patreon to find it...

We have a reasonably big 1967 house (luckily I don't mind dust) but it also has a gloriously big garden. What I couldn't bear is one of those big new houses with a postage stamp sized garden. If we had to/when we move I'd like to go; small house, huge garden + goats, preferably by the sea.

An Explanation (Which I Would Be Very Grateful If You Took The Time To Read) What follows is a minor modern horror story.

Substack is evil. I can't emphasise this enough. Their line that anyone can leave easily & take their subscriber list with them is bullshit. I left & it cost me a large sum of money. It forced me briefly back onto Substack to try to clear up the mess... tomcox.substack.com/p/an-explana...

Trying to write books for everyone seems to me a surefire way of writing bad books. I’m not interested in writing books for twats. I write books for the cool and nice people whose company I know I’d enjoy if I met them in real life. I’m entirely comfortable with twats hating my books. Bring it on.

ONE HOUR from my house to Redbridge P&R is what is going on. Just don't try to go anywhere 🙄

This is another fabulous piece (York, trains, how some kinds of looking back is good and some isn't...and more).

It's totally worth you subscribing to read things by one of the best writers ever, anyway.

I've just told my publishers to remove the Daily Mail quote they were going to put on the cover of the paperback of my latest novel. I don't care if the Daily Mail gave it a good review. The name of that shitrag is not going on the cover of my book.

I wondered if it's to get him to dob some other people in.

Tom is so good. There is love in his work. And he grafts. Holy Trinity.

I've only ever seen a trailer for The Apprentice but I'd watch this. Is there a way to get "Maximum Power" into every episode...?

What a horrible thing to find. I'm so sorry.

Your definitive guide to the sports of the Winter Olympics

I love watching slopestyle but every time I'm thinking WHAT ON EARTH are the commentators on about: "nose butter"?? 🤣. Is there a glossary somewhere?

If you ever get annoyed with me for posting too often on Bluesky in an attempt to draw a few new people to my writing please remember to address all complaints to the former CEOs of my ex-publishers on an envelope marked 'GIVE YOUR AUTHORS THE FUCKING MONEY YOU TOOK FROM THEM'.

Pan of plum jam being a setting refusnik.

The jam books always go "blah blah setting point in about 10-12 minutes" mine ALWAYS takes twice as long...why? whhhyyyy?

Ugh. This is a REALLY bad look

The red album cover featuring I think a planning office, for Public Works and Utilities by Warrington Runcorn New Town Development Plan.

Bought myself a present because our freezer died so now I have to make 5.5kg of plum jam tonight. Slaving over the hob wasn't in my Friday night plan!

Having @warringtonruncorn.com newest album to listen to will help while I watch for things not boiling over.
