People on the right all of a sudden just going at people on the left, automatically assuming their lack of empathy: Projecting much? Charlie wouldn't have wanted empathy, that's woke! Also let's not forget Charlie’s views on what's worth losing to keep all them guns free & out there.

Wild Bill, conqueror of evil Winter thanks to his servants bringing him the offer of a magical heating machine... Well, he just assumed it was for him... because why would it not be.

THE NICOTINE GOSPEL by Sven Axelrad is such a great read... especially on a winter's day with a very sleepy cat companion.
A great birthday gift from great friends. Thank you Karina and John. (It makes it extra special that the main character is also a May 1981 baby!)

Incoming polar blast cold front? No problem: I have a cat, a book and a cozy blanket. Pair that with some rooibos tea and we're all set.

A little slice of heaven... a cabin in the Cederberg for our anniversary weekend. Silence apart from the sheep in the distance. Not another person in sight. Us, the stars and the woodfire hot tub. Bliss.

Quick size check for the crochet blanket... while Calamity Jane tests it out too: She loves dragging blankets off beds to go for a walk with them. This one does not carry her approval, as it's too heavy & chunky to be dragged off. Jane prefers store bought. 🤭
