Had a super time working with the pupils and getting them to invent brand new heroes & villains yesterday. Highlights included a piece of snot called Mr Slime Bob, chased by an evil vacuum cleaner π€£

Finally finished the first draft of my darkly comic murder mystery, which I have been working on and putting aside, on and off, for years...
Still needs a lot of work but something is on the page and there are parts with which I am really pleased
