I am 42 years into the process of being an overnight success

This too shall pass.
So will those bananas

Screenshot of message: [Child's name] is looking forward to hearing all about Kat 🙂 My prediction is that, like me, she is going to find this the best of the books. We’re all a bit like Kat, I think... ❤️ thank you for meaning so much to our family. I feel, that like CS Lewis is to many households, LR Hay is to ours.

I'm in bits 😭🥹🥰
Wow

Yikes. I'd better hand in my 'Nice Children’s-Book-Writer-Lady' card 😬

As you were. It's toe nails 💅
I've only ever heard toe nails

kill the imposter syndrome in you head because not only is there someone out there doing it worse than you, they're also using chat gpt to do it

Anyways.

The 'loudest noise in the jungle -> a giraffe eating cherries' follow-up gag still kind of works, even with this clean version 🤣

Thank you all! Luckily nothing went wrong so I didn't need my joke stash to fill the time but I was duly tickled by the comedy brilliance. And if anyone need a kid-friendly joke on world book day, loads in the replies!

Pssssst... It's #WorldBookDay 🕵‍♀️

We really enjoyed the National Theatre's production of #DrStrangelove on TV a couple of days ago.

Have to say, I'm not keen on this sequel so far 😶

Oh yes, I forgot The War.
Which can apply to either WW, and is always the same amount of time ago - so that retirement communities sit through Vera Lynn and Ivor Novello, when they might prefer Elvis or Dusty Springfield

I prefer (3rd person) past, but it depends on the story.
One I'm currently working on definitely needs to be present. It kept lapsing into it as I was writing the first page, so I took the hint!

See, in the UK, we have historical periods of 'Victorian' aka 'Dickensian', 'Shakespeare' and Cavemen.
With all but Cavemen being happily conflated at times (cf, thees, thous and Mistress, as above).

In our case, turkey is of course filed under Dickensian. Turkeys did not exist before the 1840s.

A still from the film Oliver. The Artful Dodger, dressed flamboyantly, has his arm confidently around Oliver, who's not happy about it. Other kids watch from the side, expecting trouble. The text says "The Young Testament books, realising there's a new kid in the series". A watching boy is labelled "Joseph's Boy (Christmas)" Oliver is labelled "Jairus's Girl (Easter)" Dodger is labelled "That Woman's Girl (Also Easter)"

Pancake Tuesday, this week😋
Then - Easter!

Jairus's Girl was the Young Testament Easter book - till I threw a spanner in the works with That Woman's Girl, which is also the Easter book
(The next will be too)

Choose wisely. Or choose both?

Yep! Drives me daft.
And even etiquette stuff, like how titles work. Or when they changed - 19th Century women referred to as Mistress ______ , instead of Mrs.
It's like 'the past' is one big blob

BBC News headline saying cats may hold clues to human cancer treatment illustrated by picture of self-satisfied cat being stroked.

“Cats may hold clues for human cancer treatment,” but unfortunately they’re methodically pushing them off the laboratory bench and onto the floor, one by one, while maintaining unbroken eye contact with you.

Hey, mate - I don't know why it took me so long to find you on here, but this feed is golden! 😂

Need to stop reading now.

Thinking about running amok, but I’m not confident about my fitness levels so I’ll get in shape by training to run a half mok.

Dress for the job you want to lose to AI, not for the job you’ve already lost to AI.

Well, that's Saturday started right 🤣

I am already permanantly sitting in my coat for moments such as this

Q: Why did the Belgian confuse her definite and indefinite articles?

A: Because she was an twerp

Fantastic! Well done indeed
