Not quite the “lap full of kittens” from my podcast intro as beautiful Tilly is 19!!! I do rate snuggled with a blanket a book and a cat as one of the best ways to spend an afternoon though.

Quiet month for reading but done absolutely incredible books in there including “The Names” which I think might well be my top fiction read of 2025
