Oh I say. Many congratulations!

A kind thought, thank you. I have never seen that RSC, though I have seen the other one!

No, not the Plague. I am a lady of a certain age, shall we say, enduring a visit from an unwelcome auntie who had been ignoring me since March. IYKYK.

So sorry, I missed this! We had a lot of ladybirds in the summer, but haven't seen many since. Still got butterflies and wasps, mind.

I knew the necessary = privy part, but that 1540s definition? Oof.

Oh, congratulations! My very best wishes to you both x

Hi Womble! Inspired by watching Slow Horses, I'm re-reading the Slough House books (currently at 35% of Bad Actors) on digital, in preparation for the new one. On paper it's Shadowmarch by Tad Williams, another longtime resident of Mount TBR finally getting some lurve.

Next to the kettle!

Mine will be spite, I think.

Staring blankly ahead, just making my way through the crowd, thanks.

So cute, so practical! I wore heels for my wedding and tripped on my own skirt 😳

Oh yuck. I'm half an hour out of the shower and already sweating 🥵

Who on earth thinks it's okay to ask questions like that? So gross.

I've got 3 of the OG I think (Jon Sullivan art - top shelf, rightmost bookcase on my recent shelfie). The set I've just ordered are the black ones with the Clarke Award logo. It'll be such a treat to have an entire series that matches.

Yup! Only got around to starting the series at New Year (don't ask me why it took so long).

The curse of book buying, really.

You know exactly which series I'm talking about!
