@Wylmenmuir Happy birthday, Wyl! Those sunnies are fab and your view ain't half bad, either... hope the day continues in this vein or gets even better... 👍😎

@MarcCorbishley My dad's soap of choice! Always on the cracked wooden draining board next to a paint-stained Belfast sink in his workshop. I loved the smell - because I knew he was in there. 👍

@drsarahwalker @MartinPyne @BBCRadio3 @nardiga @BallakeSissoko @bbcarts @BBCArtsPR @TandemProUK @BBCSounds Poor Teddy... he's got no one to supervise this morning! Looking forward to your prog later. Always a treat, always surprising. 👍

@TanaCollins7 You're a brave woman! Looks gorgeous, but surely a tad chilly?!

@georgi_gill @DiodeBlue @kerperplexed I've got a diary note to get ordering as soon as I can!! V excited to see them both. Great cover a/w... 😘👍

@catherinecooper Rupert Holmes, Escape. Actually most stuff by him... Talking of Lola, what about the other one by The Kinks? 🎶🎶

[Lizzie Carr @elbowframe15]

Thanks for the running joke in today's @writers_hq newsletter. I, too, am a confirmed non-runner. Even my friend's 2 yr old does it better. But I can confirm I'm NOT an anti-writer. Quite the opposite. You just have to keep on keeping on, as my MiL said.

@WalshWrites @BBCRadio4 Ooh - thank you for the rec. My WIP'xs set in 1975, so it'll be useful research to help with the flavour of the time. 👍

[Lizzie Carr @elbowframe15]

@MarionETodd @NetGalley @richardosman Well I know whose books I'm reading... rats, I mean READ. Waiting for your next, Marion! I do think there's room for all sorts of crime fiction, though. Haven't finished TMC yet. 👍xxx

[Lizzie Carr @elbowframe15]

@kathyhoyle1 But to us, your work will never be rejected. Read your WINNING story (again) in the Crossing the Tees anthology. Bloody love it... 👍 xx

[Lizzie Carr @elbowframe15]

@MarcCorbishley Takes me back. After school... listening to the radio cos my dad wouldn't have a TV!

[Lizzie Carr @elbowframe15]

@under_blue_sky I hear ya, sista...we should have online space where insomniac writers go to discuss work, process, crafts (esp knitting) and share pics of animals or food. Anyone else??

[Lizzie Carr @elbowframe15]

@sarah_jeffery @WhittyAuthor This has been recommended by lots of peeps, Sarah. Ah go on, go on, go on... Love the title, too. Thanks for posting it. X

@under_blue_sky Lovely job as ever on your barnet! But your hair doesn't look grey. It's a softly dappled silver which looks so pretty on you. 😍 Mine's gone steelworks grey with more than a hint of steam train smudge about it... 🙄 xxx

[Lizzie Carr @elbowframe15]

@caileybarker You're a machine...! Is it crime, fantasy or something else entirely? Yes - please take the rest of the week off. Great to catch up last week, btw. 👍

[Lizzie Carr @elbowframe15]

@maddieanthes @wordwestpress Congratulations, somewhat late, on your publication day! X

RT if you agree @BorisJohnson is an SOB for raising the poor working tax. @torysleazeUK

@BrittonBookGeek The start of my tweet should have said: I'm IN... doh! X

[Lizzie Carr @elbowframe15]

@BrittonBookGeek I'm... but sadly, we've created a culture which is SO judgmental, everyone feels entitled to express their opinion, with no thought as to HOW it is received. Sorry this happened to you. Virtual hugs and keep on keeping on. You are doing a marvellous job!! X
