Normal service is a bit disrupted at the moment, but I’ve got an excuse, honest. Well, a few, actually: 1) I’ve just done a 3-day cross-European journey back to the UK, via train, plane and Chunnel, and am in a state of discombobulation as a result.

2) I’ve been shortlisted for the Write Place at the Write Time Literary Journal’s annual competition – winners will be announced on December 20th – and 3) I’ve been busy writing stuff for other places, including this and this, as well as cooking like a maniac and writing about the results here.

Hopefully all will be back to normal on DLaM soon, but in the meantime, here are some kittens at play.
