He's a lil' wonky, but he's done.

Gonna have an excited 9 y.o. in the morning.

And as tradition would have it, another birthday cake finished at 01:30 in the morning.
A birthday cake, covered in fondant icing made to look like Sonic The Hedgehog. It's a little wonky, and definitely home made.

Here's a photo of my 12 year old bunny, enjoying a pamper session

His name is Freddie.

Me too, Snorkmaiden. Me too.

#Moomins
The Moomins' Snorkmaiden, a frustrated look on her face, frantically running away while clutching a bag of jewellery. Speech bubble says "I hate this stupid century!"

My genius was completely unappreciated at work, so I'm sharing it with the wild web.

This little penguin is the library mascot.

Can't believe this is just casually outside my work building.
Joys of working on historic grounds 🖤📚
#LibrarianLife
A water wheel stopped in time. Beautiful mossy moon gate over it, adorned with the face of the Green Man. There are brambles, twigs and dead leaves on the ground. A big conifer branch hangs over the moon gate.

She's baby girl 🖤
#Cats
A photo of a tri-colour tabby cat, napping, curled up like a little pretzel. Her front feet are sticking out, and they have cute white-sock colouring. She's snuggled in tight against the sofa cushions, that one of her ears has folded down.

Idk what it is, but I love old doors + overgrowth 🌿🚪😌

Oh, to be a kitty. Napping on a radiator on a chilly day.

Tricolour tabby cat, snoozing on a radiator with her front left paw sticking out. Her eyes are half open, and she looks very content.

One of my kids got gifted a Big Barbie for Crimbo.

I have to turn her away when it's the kids' bedtime.
A photo of a 2 foot Barbie doll sat on top of children's toys. The photo is red due to a red nightlight. Giving it an ominous feel

Surely, in the numerous languages of humans, there is a word that describes the joy and love one feels for overgrown structures given in to time 🖤

Since I can't post this on my work socials, I will leave this here without any context 🤭

You think you know yourself, and then you become a librarian and get the biggest satisfaction from using one of these babies.

This feeling is only topped when patrons delightfully comment "Ooh! Old fashioned!"

The wisdom from #Moomins is timeless.
A photo of a classic Moomins comic strip featured on a calendar. Panel 1: Moomintroll "I'm going to pick three sacks of sea-shells a day!" Snuffkin is standing nearby Panel 2: Moomintroll "Just imagine having a pleasure for a job!" As he picks shells Panel 3: Snuffkin "Yes, that means you keep the job and lose the pleasure."

What kind of drama did my toddler orchestrate

Strong contender for first place as my favourite season.

A photo of a Lithuanian countryside landscape with a fresh dusting of snow. The winter sun bright and low in the sky, tufts of grass peaking out through the fresh snow. Various trees on right and left sides. Bright blue sky.
