How is it that I'm only NOW discovering The @PushcartPrize.bsky.social accepts REPRINTS?! All those previously published poems I could've nominated since 2020!! Gah! Will need to think very carefully about what to put forward next month from @iamb.uk. 🤔

Cat ownership isn't always fun. One of our nine dragged a dead pigeon through the house last night – dropping it on @knittedteacosy.bsky.social's foot. I'd later discover the bird had been dead awhile and was riddled with maggots. Same cat came bounding in at 2:30am with a screaming frog in his maw.

Twenty-five years since I, like so many around the world, watched dumbfounded as terrorists attacked the World Trade Centre in New York. My brother called me from a McDonald's in some service station to insist I switch on the TV news. Spent the next two hours in my dressing gown glued to the screen.
