As soon as you go on the dating apps.

The cat got both front paws bandaged at the v.e.t. yesterday and then came home and walked around the house like he was warming up to fight Mike Tyson.

In true British style, my story for the Autumn 2024 Writing Battle unexpectedly made it to the quarter finals/last eight before being taken out by the eventual winner, which just goes to show how much of the competition is down to the luck of the draw.

My husband and I need to sit down and have a serious conversation about who is getting this for whom for Christmas (my opening argument: I should get it because I read faster).

I know when I signed up I said I liked books and then BS showed me some book things and I liked them so they showed me more books, but it's still nice to get here and find it's mainly (so far) books, rather than, you know, Nazism and transphobia.
