A woman just stopped me in Sainsbury's and told me how nice I look today.
I am still smiling.
Ladies, we should all do this more often! It costs nothing and it's such a wonderful boost on a dull, depressing day.

Today is Independent Bookshop Day. To celebrate, we are running a little competition.
Guess the number of 'Eggs' in the Turtle 🐢 nest in the window. The winner gets this lovely toy Turtle and a copy of Turtle Moon by Hannah Gold. Pop in the shop to enter.

@ellamdoyle Do you need any freelance copy-editors/proofreaders? I’m an ex DK Travel editor 🙋🏻♀️

@KailenRenae As a copy-editor, I would always correct this to ‘all right’. Most publishers style guides specify it
English
Okay… writers. Do you use “alright?”
My editor had me change all instances of “alright” to “all right” and I’m reading through my manuscript and itching to change some of these back.

My husband & I are going for our first ever overnight trip away from our kids in a few weeks. We are going to Paris (staying in a friend's flat). Haven't been in YEARS, don't want to do big touristy things. What are some nice, chilled, mooching around the city things we can do?

@DarynFaulkner I’m the same, can’t stand when the tips touch anything and the dirt that gets under long nails gives me the ick!
English
Am I the only woman in the world who absolutely hates having long nails? I keep them cut as short as possible because I hate not being able to feel the world with the tips of my fingers. (Cue the prurient comment, but I’m serious.)
