I'm a queer/bi comic crime/SFF author (under the name George Penney) and I'm also a best-selling Rom Com writer (under Evie Snow) and a PhD escapee. I have two podcasts called Bohemiana and My Favourite Monster. I also travel continuously and house sit around the world because I can, and I'm a cultural omnivore who is interested in everything all at once. I GM 2-5 shot DnD 5e games that are fun, silly and set in my OverLondon universe. I like tea and cats, not necessarily in that order.

#Spotted at a Country Easter Fair in Aotearoa New Zealand:
A small human (3?) is full of all the woe. Lip quivering.
Mum says: "What's wrong?"
Small Human wails: "There's TOO MANY THINGS and I am having VERY BIG FEELINGS!"
Mum picks her up for a hug. "One bite at a time. That's how we do it."
A tiny human (2?) has spotted a tiny puppy. (Chihuahua cross tribble?)
Suddenly, patting Tiny Puppy is all Tiny Human wants to do. But how?
Ah!
She'll run in front of the puppy and go floppy.
Her body is now a floor noodle.
She can't POSSIBLY move until Tiny Puppy says hello.
A man (30s?) in farm clothes is talking to friend (70s?)
Friend ask: "How ya doin' lately with everythin' going on."
He sighs and shrugs. "We're managing."
Friend says: "We've got some spare diesel in the tank on the farm that we're not usin' if ya need it."
"Yeah. I'd appreciate that."
Two men (40s?) in farm clothes and gumboots* are standing side by side watching people come and go from the fair.
One says to the other: "I thought two was hard, ya know. Then they turn thirteen. Jeez thirteen's hard."
His friend gives him a comforting man pat on the shoulder.
A tiny human (2?) has dropped a chip (oh no!)
Maybe if he stands on it... it'll make it go away.
Dad says: "Did you just drop a chip?"
Tiny Human shakes his head vehemently.
"Think ya might have.."
"No! No I didn't!"
"Then what's that under your shoe little fella?"
"A chip but it's not mine!"

Here's an oddity I #spotted on #Guernsey a few years back. Very much a grab shot against the light, so heavily GIMP'd, but it's apparently a #Subaru Sambar Dias Classic, although I would have guessed #Daihatsu #Hijet. Later Sambars were re-badged Hijets, so that might be true.
If ever there was a #WeirdCarMastodon candidate, I'd say this was it.
Gotta love a #kei car!

#Spotted this in a Norwich car park last month. Irish plates on a Suzuki Hustler. My pic doesn't convey how tiny it is - I should have parked next to it!

#Spotted before Christmas, around Guildford. I'm hoping they got a bargain...
