That first Monday back to work after the holidays is a lot harder to face for some folk than others... So, how are you handling it?? Need a virtual hug?

A very fluffy ginger cat, with its fur in total disarray, looking rather out of it. The sunlight is shining down on it from the side.

In loving memory of our own beautiful little "Grumpy Cat", Shadow, who left us 12 years ago today. This was always my fave “glamour shot” of her, as it showed her soft fur off so nicely.
Still miss you lots and lots, our little Purr Monster & Miss Grumpy. 💕🐈‍⬛💕

#FineArtFriday courtesy of #AlphonseMucha - "Emerald" circa 1900.

Emerald‘s armchair with an animal head armrest is inspired by one of Mucha's own chairs. It can be seen in many of his drawings and photos.

Emerald is a beautiful young lady leaning forward onto the arm of a chair. She is surrounded by greenery. There is an elaborate decorative circular mosaic halo behind her head. Emerald is portrayed as a mysterious and menacing precious stone. The armchair with animals heads on each arm rest is inspired by one of Mucha's own chairs. It can be seen in many of his drawings and photographs.

Not much longer till we cross over into the New Year! Keeping my fingers crossed that 2026 will be so much better than 2025 has been…

Wishing all my Bluesky friends around the globe a truly wonderful New Year to come. May it bless you with health, happiness, peace, love and prosperity!

Ugh, as if this year can't get any worse... 😡 woke up to no hot water in my apartment. Even if you run it for a very long time, the most it gets is slightly tepid. Have texted the building's Concierge lady hours ago; still no reply.
I'll be very glad when this crappy year is over...

"Jólabókaflóð", translating to "Christmas Book Flood," is a cherished tradition in #Iceland, celebrated on Xmas Eve. It involves giving & receiving new books, enjoying delicious treats while sipping on hot chocolate while quietly reading.

Ugh! Last night confirmed it - I have a double ear infection! Was incredibly difficult to fall asleep; *so* painful to even lay my ears on the pillow. I‘m tired, dizzy, & grumpy for being ill during Xmas.

Can y’all please send cute pics of your pets to help cheer me?

I'm thinking that this might resonate with a few of you out there...

New neighbour left a tiny bag of fresh baked cookies at my door. I thanked her with a medieval-style pomander, made with a clementine & cloves, ribbons & a ❄️ snowflake wax stamp. (I’m housebound right now, and it’s all I had on hand to create something last minute)

Photo shows a small medieval style pomander - which is a citrus fruit, in this case a clementine, that is then decorated with cloves and ribbons. It is meant to hang during the holidays to create a pleasant scent in the home.

Happy Solstice to all the Blueskyers around the world -- whether you are in the Northern Hemisphere & celebrating Winter Solstice, or in the Southern Hemisphere celebrating Summer Solstice.
For Northerners, this is the longest night of the year, & now the days slowly start becoming longer again!
A collage-style illustration with an astronomical star chart in the background, overlaid with the silhouette of a reindeer, and the words "Winter Solstice". Across the bottom is the silhouette of Stonehenge, and the words "December 21". There is a golden pillar candle that is lit, along the left side of the image. There are also transparent snowflakes randomly across the whole image.
