Wot no Green Wing!
I got excited when Stacey scored then it all went classic Norwich.

Over on Facebook I have been sent a friend request from a handsome American widower. According to his profile he was widowed on 18th September 2025.
I left a few groups after getting rude replies instead of help. I also ignore any typos when replying to people if it is obvious what they meant.
I might take up embroidery again....
Maybe she was wearing one high heel and one slipper #thearchers
100 hours of Solitude.
That sounds much better than when I was in a restaurant in Rome and got serenaded by a bag piper playing Loch Lomond in the square.
I think it has become too commercialised.
Such a pleasure to visit Kett’s Books in Wymondham on Friday. You can now buy Cutting the Mustard there. Great community bookshop to support.
An ‘ultracrepidarian’ (19th century) is one who loves to give their opinion, at length, on matters they know nothing about.
Please continue with your joyful art. All my Dad's classical records had boring photos of the conductor or a pastoral scene. I think your art captures the energy of the piece which is much more exciting.
The only thing my cat managed to kill was a vegetarian sausage she swiped from my plate. She presented it to me at 3 in the morning.
With all of France’s problems solved, attention turns to the scourge of loud cats on trains.
I love this cover and I agree he is a horrible snob. I hope the funeral went OK and sorry about your uncle x
Five weeks to publication day! Exciting! Pre-order and sample the 40-track 80s playlist for my book #IntoTheGroove from here.
Monbiot’s Law of Leaving the House: T = 2(A² + 3C²) Where T is time taken to get out the door in minutes, A is adults and C is children. TLDR: if you’re herding more than five children, you'll never get out.
Traumatised bin in Norwich city centre.
Quick reminder I sell posters of stuff, and photographic prints. Lost my singular retail outlet a few months ago, so I stopped trying to flog people daft shit for a while. Anyway have a look if you fancy. Buy one if you like, or just repost. All keeps me less glum www.invisibleworks.co.uk/posters/
The Thai cover band you didn't know you needed in your life. Crank it! 😀 🎸
Thoughts and prayers.
He has been named and shamed on Instagram.
I shall make sure I am following him.
I think I got the last copy so they will need some more.
I can't keep up with which accounts are still active. I have never seen an official NCFC account post on here.
Great book Robin, I got a copy from @onthestallcity.bsky.social the other day.
The cute. REGARD THE CUTE
You sure about this, Google?
When I left home in the 80s I went to view a bedsit with a letting agent. We walked into complete squalor with rubbish everywhere, on the table was a tower of empty Pot Noodle containers with a pair of dirty underpants on the top. I moved in after the deep clean!
Smart! Raven loves winning Tic Tac Toe.

Very tricky finding a rhyme for the last line clearly....#TheArchers
"How dare you do what I asked you to do."
My cat used to pester me to go outside even though he hated it. He would then give me accusing stares because it was obviously my fault when he got wet or mucky.
Amber you look great I really cannot wait To give you a thrill And take you up Lakey Hill. #TheArchers
Did you force him to go out and get his fur wet tut tut!
There will be some top banter happening everyday.
As a former Childline volunteer, I’m baffled Samaritans thinks taking calls from home will work. Debriefing with the team or a note from a supervisor was so integral, I wonder whether anyone advocating for remote counselling has ever picked up a phone. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...
Just putting it out there in the universe I suspect lots of young people will be wanting to read about girls football following the Lioness’ latest success. I have written lots of books in this genre Also - for any editors interested, I would always love to write more 😂
How awful x
My famous waving video for you all to see and share
Get the sprouts on now.
I’ve been absolute arse at self promo this month so card sales have been ABSOLUTE WANK (tm) - technical term! If you’re in the market for naughty but niche cards which just HAPPEN to also help finance my more serious art pls have a browse at dippyfishcards.Etsy.com #bsnm #mhhsbd #art Cards blank
Oh that sounds good.
I had a friend who used to wear different coloured neon socks when we went out clubbing. I thought she was pretty cool.
I particularly like the neon prints.
Or in the book swap boxes I see on my walks.
I am going to retrain as a demotivational speaker. I feel there is a gap in the market.
I love this!
At the end of National Seal Week, here’s a helpful reminder of how to allow our East Anglian coastal colonies to thrive.

For the last few days I have been in Herefordshire for the funeral of my friend who died suddenly last month. It has been very upsetting but I am so glad I got to say goodbye.

I wrote about my research into ‘the Norwich sonnet’, a neglected term which could one day challenge Shakespeare’s dominance of the form someflowerssoon.substack.com/p/the-norwic...
We have a rowing boat you can have for less than a million (delivery not included).
They will have to make their own tea now, so sad for them..
I was going to send to you after I got the successful bid but it would ruin the surprise.
Debbie does Dune.
This is seriously impressive stuff, if you can't get excited about #ncfc this season then I don't want to be at a party with you. Great write-up @cjsouthwell1902.bsky.social www.pinkun.com/sport/norwic...
Carry on Dune.
After we’d finished our Substack live #sophiefromromania turned into our street to find the bin lorry ahead of us - I was so impressed by her calm reaction
I had to take my coat to be cleaned when I got mud from a hanging basket on it. I had to go home in a colleagues cardigan and I was freezing.
I prefer your plot which I would film with Sheridan Smith.
Take me down to the Paraphrase City with its verdant lawns and beautiful women
It really is, I am not sure how many people spot it when they cut through the church.
I always make a detour to see this wonderful flint on the wall of Victorian church in Norwich.
Some I lurk to be honest.
Everyday I get recommended a new one so no clue! #TheArchers
I get confused about the rules in the various Archer related groups I am in. It can get a bit intense #TheArchers
You may recall that I was caught up in the collapse of publishers Unbound. I now have the rights to my book Why Do Birds Suddenly Disappear? And I have a lot of them to get rid of. So if you felt like buying one I might see my office floor again before 2027. levparikian.com/index.php/pr...
I really must thank him.
I had a celebrity dream once when I was on the Titanic and it wasn't looking good until Lawrence Llewelyn Bowen pulled me out of the water to safety. He was even wearing a lovely velvet suit too.
Sad news folks. Gerald Harper, has gone to the great cinema in the sky. So long James Hadleigh and Adam Adamant. May he rest in peace.
"Just wait until you see what Marks and Spencers Connie the caterpillar looks like after her recent glow up..."
Word of the day is ‘forwallowed’ (15th century): extremely weary from tossing and turning all night.
Recent research at Pompeii confirms that the Roman residents had access to satellite TV. #MosaicMonday
Oxborough Hall is my favourite.
I was going to take a fan with me today on my walk but I don't have an extension cable long enough.
Some firelighters and a packet of scampi fries please.
Employee of the month right there.

The Iceni Warrior was a 1970s shop dummy with a mustache and a gillet on it. They also appeared to be wearing stilettos.
Yes she was very smart.
It's what she would want...
