Yea! Got my trophy for best children's story at Swanwick. Happy days! If you're interested, you can follow my writing ventures on my Facebook author page. Hope to see you there.

@amandapreston.bsky.social Hi Amanda. I just tried to send you a submission via the lba website but the 'Submit work to Amanda' button takes me to the MSN news page. Is there a problem at your end, or is it at mine? Regards. Terry

Why do so many American
Christians focus all their attention on the Old Testament and ignore the teachings from the New?

In the garden, writing and enjoying the sunshine and the wildlife. Perfect.

Chivalry? Sounds woke to me.

Seems like they've swapped the huddled masses for muddled asses.

Unenforceable? Are you not paying attention? Trump is defying laws with impunity. He will do exactly what he wants.

2/2

While UK death rates rose
And politicians chose
To whack-a-mole and estimate and guess,
You put yourself in danger
For every single stranger
So thank you and
Protect the NHS.

Dedicated to all medical professionals who put themselves at risk throughout Covid

As friends and colleagues died
And politicians lied
And black bin-bags were used for P.P.E.
You were the ones who went to work,
Who held our hands and did not shirk
And saved our lives in wards and A and E.

1/2

On the 5th anniversary of Covid, this is dedicated to Michael Gove, Matt Hancock and Michelle Mone.

There was a crooked man
Who needed PPE
He dished out crooked money
From a crooked money-tree,
He gave some crooked contracts
To crooked companies.
To favourites and donors
And their crooked VIPs

It's five years this week since Covid hit the UK. Many of us lost people we cared about, and at the time a wrote a few poems to reflect my anger at what was happening. This was a response to Matt Hancock's claim about the elderly.

I gave up on season 1 episode 7. Thanks for confirming that decision.

Just missed out on the prize of a free writing retreat in Greece. Shortlisted for my story 'True Blue'. Definitely entering again next year.

I'm sorting out a box of my old comics and am trying to get my head around grading. What do people make of these?

Also, it's the Oscar for the best actor, not the Oscar for the best actor who has never won it before.

As Michael Jackson said:
I'm starting with the man in the mirror
I'm asking him to change his ways
And no message could've been any clearer
If they wanna make the world a better place
Take a look at yourself and then make a change

Another beauty from my childhood. First appearance of Man Bat. Thoughts?

Donald Trump. Burger eating surrender monkey.

What are people reading right now? I'm into Adam Nevill's The Ritual. Spooky goings on in a Swedish forest. 😱 It's helping me get my head into the right space while writing my new folk horror novel. Do any of you do similar, or do you avoid genre novels while writing?

This was in the box that keeps on giving. Can anyone advise me on a rough grade?

Of course she remembered. She's four years old. This is probably the most important thing in her life right now. It must be great to be four.

Any fool can end a war if they are willing to offer a complete surrender.

So, no Easter or Christmas celebrations then...

Try a bit of malicious compliance. So, that's Easter, Christmas etc we are not allowed to celebrate...
