Adam ate the apple.
Eve listened to the snake.

The last few days have been some of the toughest I've faced in a while. My dad suffered a minor stroke and has been in hospital, so everything else has taken a back seat. Today, I'm grateful to be bringing him home. It's a reminder that time with the people we love is precious, and not something to take for granted. Thank you for all the kind messages and support which I will reply to soon β€οΈ

Today my thoughts wander not to work nor words, but to my father.
He is having a difficult day, and so I sit with him in that quiet place where love asks for nothing more than presence. The hours slow, memories rise like old songs from distant rooms, and all the little things we once took for granted seem suddenly precious β€οΈ

Good morning you lovely people β€οΈ The day unfurls itself like a hesitant Glasgow dawn and I, humble steward of soap and comb, set forth upon the noble quest of washing and grooming my dad. Water shall flow, hair shall submit, and somewhere between the towel and the teacup, civilisation shall be preserved β€οΈ

Goodnight, you lovely people, wanderers of the waking world β€οΈ May your worries drift off like paper boats on a moonlit river, and may your dreams find the shortcuts your hearts have been searching for all day β€οΈ Sleep well, and if you meet the stars, tell them we're trying our best down here β€οΈ

Happy Birthday, @hughlaurie today,
Master of wit in your own charming way.
From grumpy doctors to comedy gold,
Your timing's still perfect, your humour never old.
You can sing, you can act, you can make us all smile,
And keep us entertained in your own special style.
So here's to more laughter, good health and good cheer,
Have a fantastic birthday and a wonderful year! π #HappyBirthdayHughLaurie

Perhaps the truest strength is not in winning wars, but in carrying kindness through a world that so often forgets it. To keep your heart gentle when life gives you every reason to harden it β that is a victory worth celebrating β€οΈ
Be calm enough to avoid war.
Be prepared enough to finish it.

I became a writer because I thought making stuff up would be easy.
Now I'm researching police procedures, learning Victorian funeral customs, and trying to figure out how a serial killer would dispose of a garden gnome π€£

One more hour of writing.
The plan is simple:
Write brilliant words.
Become a bestselling author.
Retire to a cottage by the sea.
Current progress: opening the notepad π€£

Elvis was a true style icon. From tailored suits to his legendary flared pants, he transformed fashion and left a lasting impact.

Hope you smash that milestone! β€οΈ
I'm 4 followers away from my next Twitter/X milestone.
That's not even enough people for a decent pub quiz team.
If you'd like updates about my books, blatant sales pitches & random chat, I'd be delighted to have you along. π

Dad: "What are you writing about?"
Me: "A man slowly losing his mind."
Dad: "Autobiography then? π€£

As a writer, I understand the obsession part.
As a man approaching 61, I understand the collapse part π€£β€οΈ

Good morning you lovely people! β€οΈ
Dad kept me awake all night asking, "Is it my turn to fly the plane tonight?"
Dad hasn't flown a plane in his life, but judging by his confidence, we're probably halfway to Benidorm already π
Hope your day is less turbulent than mine ! π€£

Some people meditate. Some go to the gym. I sit in a chair and argue with imaginary people until they agree to move the plot forward π

Libraries are magical places β€οΈ You can travel the world, solve a murder, fall in love, fight dragons and still be home in time for tea β€οΈ

On April 1st, 1939, Eleanor Roosevelt gave a compelling speech on the importance of libraries. The content of that speech still rings true today: from the Great Depression to modern times, libraries play a vital role. buff.ly/59GEFOm
