Something for the Weekend: Careful What You Wish For

This short story will only be available on this platform for 7 days. Petra was on a roll. “Do we have to come boring Christmas shopping with you? Do I?” she whined. Molly sighed. Her little girl was already growing up too quickly, already losing the joy of childhood. Oh, she knew it would happen eventually, knew it would come one day.

Friday 6 February 2026: More catch-up

Wednesday We had an unexpected sprinkling of snow on Tuesday night, which was nice to watch. It didn’t last long, though, as it was very wet and very quickly turned into sleet. By 9pm, it had all washed away and it was raining, but it was very thick rain. The dogs let us sleep until 7:30am on Wednesday, but they were ready for their breakfast by 8am.

Ian Hislop on Peter Mandelson and people who said they had ‘no idea’ about Epstein is 2 minutes exceptionally well spent

We can never get enough of Ian Hislop on these pages, and on Tuesday he was on LBC with Andrew Marr talking – what else? – Jeffrey Epstein, Peter Mandelson and much else besides. In particular, what w...

Thursday 5 February 2026: Catch-up

The weekend Saturday was tied up with just shopping and more workshop catch-up, and we took the dogs for a short walk. On our way home from the supermarket, we went to buy bird food, and when we got back the poet topped up the bird feeders and the food buckets. When he came in, he moved my new calendar down on a wall in the study.

Thursday I had a really bad start to the day on Thursday. A pain in my side woke me up at around 2:30am and it took some time to get comfortable and fall back to sleep. I didn’t disturb any of the dogs, although I did ask them very quietly if they wanted out. The poet carried on snoring the whole time, but he was tired after a long drive home earlier in the day.

Tuesday 3 February 2026: Hello, February!

I ummed and ahhed a bit about February’s workload and whether or not to include some new short stories. I knew I was already committed to one (12 stories in 12 months), but could I realistically manage many more than that? In the end, I decided I could write another 2 entire stories, revise a third, and start a new one, the new one a novella.

Morrisons give 8p to farmers for this cream. It costs 15p more than their not-for-farmers cream... 🤔 #morrisons #forfarmers
