I am disproportionately excited by these waterproof headphones I can use while swimming. I never swam much until recently and as I prepare for a hip replacement next spring, I believe swimming regularly is the best prep I can do. And now I can listen to writing podcasts too 🏊🏼♂️

In #BrainTumourAwareness week, I wanted to send huge thanks to the wonderful medical staff who have cared for me.
Dr Paul Mulholland is a UK expert in new trials - thank you to him and all researchers, advocates and charities.
My heart goes to all affected by this disease. ❤️
Excited to be able to read Part 2 of this series, now that my FIL has delivered our post (which he intercepts frequently, to help postman not to have to drive down our lane!)
Perfectly acceptable to be chomping on chocolate digestives at 5 in the morning while thinking about good habits…
Also, tea. And a new series in @TheFriendMag by Stephania Hartley ✍🏼

I couldn’t do this if Otis was a Labrador 😂
But I bet you’ve got photos of dogs on laps that’ll make me smile?

This mini review is music to my inexperienced ears 😭😘😘
All those months of writing was worthwhile! Now I just have to do it all again ✍🏼😂 xx

"Awais, London loves you," someone said to me at the launch of IN THE SHADOWS OF LOVE. After seeing the overwhelming outpouring of love and support from Londoners yesterday, I believe him.
A BIG thank you from the bottom of my heart to all my friends who showed up for me ❤️
Bought a tote as a giveaway gift to go with a copy of my novel, to celebrate having sold 1000 copies, but I like it and might keep it 😂 soz about that xxx
