State of the TAM - 29 March

What’s Up?

In typical Northern Irish weather we’ve had a lovely two weeks, lots of sunshine and no rain, and next week we might have snow.

What is that about?

I do promise to get video of Izzy rioting in the first snowfall if there is any though! I know none of you would want to miss that!

Not being doing much else this week. Mostly writing, taking Izzy out to do a wee everytime she wakes up from a snooze, and making plans for UK Meet and GRL. I’ll try and do something more thrilling next week! Or, you know, anything!

Pupdate of the Week

I told you we had nice weather! Even went and got a paddling pool. Jax would like you all to know that he’s getting ready for Easter and that he definitely doesn’t need a bath (he so needs a bath, he has a green tail from running up the field :D).

Meanwhile, Izzy is just ready for mischief and doesn’t know what a bath is…although she’s going to need one soon. She’s been rolling in the firt like she’s a chinchilla!

Book Recommendation of the Week

So, Alice Crane was kind enough to invite me to her group to celebrate her Publishversary this week. So since I believe in celebrating week long… check out her series Thicker than Blood!

Thicker than Blood by [Alice Crane]

As a soldier in the Australian Army, Daniel Sinclair knows that there are no guarantees in life. When he returns home from a surprise deployment to find his partner has left him and he has been left alone with a baby on the way, he finds his world shifting beneath him. The last thing he needs is to add a new heartache to his list of complications. But there’s something about Eli that turns his head and he just can’t resist the temptation.

Eli Devlin barely has time for himself, let alone time to find a man to share his life with. He is trying to keep his sister from self-destructing while caring for her three children. Eli has no idea what to do with a hunky soldier that pushes all his buttons and demands every part of him.

Can they convince each other—and themselves—that life is better together than apart?

This is a 90,000-word MM romance with mature themes that contains a happily-ever-after filled with hot snarky men who can’t resist falling in love.

I am not much of a cook, but ‘oily fingie’ sent me so I’m sharing it with you. :D

How to Measure Sticky Ingredients Without Losing Your Gosh Darn Mind

I spent 30 years measuring sticky ingredients like a fool.

Measuring cup

There used to be exactly one thing I didn’t like about baking. I called it the Peanut Butter Problem and it happened every time I made my favorite three-ingredient cookies. The Peanut Butter Problem was, as you may have guessed, my best attempt to get a precise amount of peanut butter from a measuring cup into a mixing bowl, and it involved multiple butter knives, my pointer finger, and swearing. I’m told I looked like a very drunk person trying to pick a lock while blindfolded.


And then came TikTok.

I am deeply attached to Ra…Ra..Rasputin and I love this trailer.

And since we’re here…the reason I love that song so much is because I associate it with Nikolai Dante from 2000 AD. I loved this series.

I would eat these. I’m not proud of that, but I would.
