Getting my beard tidied up today.

The barber asks, "Do you remember when Celtic won the European Cup?"

Mate, I'm 44. Celtic won it in 1967.

Either he's trying to upsell beard dye or I apparently look about 73.

What a week.

Wednesday: queried Jenny Savill at Andrew Nurnberg. 3 hours later: full manuscript request. 48 hours later: offer of representation.

I am currently levitating somewhere above the River Clyde.

My old bones have been needing this...

An otter enjoying a fresh fish at the Rhubodach slip. Completely unfazed by a 500 ton ferry coming in right beside it.

Currently writing a book about werewolves and I have to take the dogs out with that in the sky... Not ideal.

[Stuart Hendry @HENDRYBERG]

First day of the year and I’ve already closed the book on two shows.

Stranger Things - thank you for your service, but you stayed well past your welcome.

Billions - heartbroken it’s over, deeply satisfied with the ending.
Still feel sorry for Mike though.

Today is the first time I've ever had a request from an agent for a full manuscript... A quick scan and I've sent it. I feel absolutely sick 😁

Hey, @grok, who was the most famous person to visit my profile? It doesn’t need to be a mutual, don’t tag them, just say who it was please.

[Stuart Hendry @HENDRYBERG]

Back to Tarbert this week for work... One of my favourite runs.

[Stuart Hendry @HENDRYBERG]

@sjtownend ‘The Rats’ by James Herbert. First horror I ever read, aged 12, and it chewed its way into my brain. Maybe it’s nostalgia, maybe it’s trauma, but those mutant rodents live rent-free in my psyche.

[Stuart Hendry @HENDRYBERG]

Mull for work this week. So a trip into Tobermory tonight for dinner....

@BillyM2k It can only be @mackiesscotland vanilla

Paperweight are back? Thank heavens. I’ve yearned for so long to live like a Victorian gentleman, overwhelmed by technology, yet soothed by a hefty object on my desk. @OpenAI a trillion dollars well spent! #BringBackThePaperweight

[Stuart Hendry @HENDRYBERG]

Had an #agent121 that left me more energized than 6 espressos & a motivational podcast. I'm now legally required to warn people before I enter rooms due to my levels of optimism. Currently vibrating at a frequency only dolphins can hear. Huge thanks to @jslwilliamson @IAmInPrint

Back in Tarbert for work this week... An absolutely stunning morning today.

[Stuart Hendry @HENDRYBERG]

@BillyM2k "I did a thing". Oh congrats, Claire, you bought a lamp. History will never forget this moment.

[Stuart Hendry @HENDRYBERG]

@BillyM2k "Sorry not sorry". Just say you’re a narcissist and move on, hun.

[Stuart Hendry @HENDRYBERG]

A spot of morning meditation up here...

The wife is away to Tenerife and I'm stuck here...

[Stuart Hendry @HENDRYBERG]

First day off and it couldn’t be more perfect. Just me, the dogs, and a hilltop in the motherland. Not a soul in sight, just sun, silence and slobbery kisses. Honestly, what more do I need? Well… maybe a literary agent and a wee farm, but we move.
