We like to think we can remember what happened in a previous chapter; no need to have it recapped in the next!

With the rain and colder weather, might it be the perfect time to start the #christmascountdown? We were inspired by the all-year Christmas shop in Bowness-on-Windermere when visiting the Lake District in June. And now it's almost Sept. One of us might install her Christmas Countdown app... 🎄😉🤣

We're delighted and a bit proud of ourselves as we've reached our target weights! Caz lost 2 st; Jon 2 st 9 lbs.
Last Saturday, we visited Canterbury. Such a lovely city, vibrant and colourful. The cathedral, admired from afar, the river, the quirky streets, and gorgeous buildings... we loved it.

Especially now, when simplified one-liners are heavily featured, when opinions are shared as 'news' & 'truth', when people chant noneties than look into facts, when politicians respond to the news instead of creating a better world for all instead of a few, we need to stop shouting & start thinking.

#NationalTourismDay
Any excuse to celebrate discovering the world, in books or irl, suits us! Most of all, we love to randomly pick a place on the map, pack a lunch and coffee and off we go. Always on the lookout for second-hand book and vinyl shops... What's your next stop on the map?

Day 1: 'He is' by Ghost on Google Audio: Nest Hub plus 2 Minis. Clear distinction between YouTube Music and Spotify/Deezer - that was easy. To compare between Spotify and Deezer was more difficult as they're close but we felt the Spotify sound was fuller and richer.
Day 1 Winner: Spotify

Interesting, so Spotify gives you more to discover than Deezer. We didn't know that, thanks. We had heard sound quality of D is better than S but haven't tested it out fully yet. Thanks again.

We're trying out Spotify and Deezer. Our taste is eclectic, with an emphasis on metal, power metal, symphonic metal/rock, indie, progressive rock and metal.
Which is your favourite?
Three important aspects:
1. Mixed-genre/bands playlists
2. Discovering new artists/bands
3. Quality of sound

Publishing is tough - as we've come to know. You try to send your notes into the sea only for the sea to cough it up unread. Frustrating. Talent aplenty, but platforms are lacking. That's why we now concentrate on our Author Services (joncazcole.com/author-services). #supportindieauthors
