I don’t watch as much football these days, but Chelsea v Real Madrid this week and Man City v Liverpool this afternoon both served up a treat. A brilliant game today, end-to-end, proper top-of-table clash. Nothing like relaxing with a good match on a Sunday afternoon.
The Indie Writer has… gone fishin’ 🎣
I finished watching Season 2 of The Crown this week, the end of the Claire Foy and Matt Smith era.
One of the best things I’ve watched on Netflix. A wonderful script, storytelling and acting. I genuinely wanted to stand and applaud at the end of a couple of the episodes.
As someone who rarely drinks, I took reassurance, strength even, upon learning this week that Muhammad Ali would often stick to orange juice and - on celebratory occasion - would ask the barman for a coke served with a drop of whisky. 🍹
Back in the day, a “(we)blog” was a personal space/diary you wrote to for the sheer joy of it.
To start a “blog”, according to google, is to start a site from which you can make money around.
I’m continuing to mull this over, but the distinction here is very important indeed.
Pondering a simple place to host my writing community.

Drafting + working on my new site this afternoon 💻☕
I’ve just stumbled across Penzu, a private “online diary and personal journal” for your writing, and I’m intrigued.

Is there sometimes a delay to posts on micro.blog appearing on your personal domain?

The more we experience the ‘human’ in humanity, (the more) we experience our true nature… and we feel deeply alive.
Just finished up the “closing party” for the Introvert Writer Summit, with my co-host Lauren Sapala.
A warm and fitting way to close out the summit in the company of introvert friends around the world.
Watching UFC London last night, at a regular evening time I’m not used to. A great night for the Brits - keen to see where Paddy Pimblett and Tom Aspinall go from here. The former’s energy is infectious, and I think the latter is destined for good things in the sport.
Last night…
A cosy pub in southwest London, three creator friends, and the start of a new mastermind group (my first in-person one for 6 years!).
Feels like the start of something special 🤗
