@em_readman: Obsessed with the discovery that "freelance" comes from a medieval term for a mercenary warrior (who is sworn to no lord.) A literal free lance. I am a knight.

@TabitaSurge: It's ma's funeral tomorrow. She was an undiagnosed autistic woman: I'm sharing my eulogy as a love letter to autistic parents 'When I met with the celebrant to start preparing for this funeral, he asked what mum was like. What were her hobbies and interests? Gardening, perhaps?'

As my forthcoming library workshops have been postponed indefinitely, I’ve begun recording them for you instead. Take a listen to my first sessions are below.

Please let me have any comments: topics for future podcasts and anything else that strikes you: JoyRhoadesWorkshops@gmail.com Favour: I need you to tell me everything annoying, no matter how small (or big :))

Above all, try to switch off, write and be well. Look forward to ‘seeing’ you (virtually and especially in person) when this is all over.
