Ok, 19 Crimes. I won’t be buying you again based on this literary incompetence.

Ah, and the 4k anniversary edition has just arrived, with photo cards ❤️

Unfortunately you don’t get the full horror on mobile, as they truncate the images, but if you look on tablet or desktop…

I especially like the multi-fingered lady, fresh from paintball, holding a lemon in a glass.

As a cleanse, here is my #proofofcat - and again this is not my cat, but a friendly pudding from an unknown neighbour, who likes to make himself at home.

This is still #notmycat but he’s come in to lounge on the table, next to my aviation, while we rewatch Halt and Catch Fire.

Managed to cure a debilitating condition (not having enough money) by going on a journey (writing a book).

This is still not my cat. But I let him come in out of the drizzle and he’s decided to have a snooze.

Always like to have “open” and “closed” on the same side of the sign.

@mckelvie.bsky.social Hurrah! Thanks to everyone who has made this possible, I am very pleased.

Reading that and then a notification pings, confirming it. This is madness.

This is not my cat. I don’t have a cat. But I’m glad to have a little friend.

@slipperyjack.bsky.social That was quick! Thank you so much, it’s a beauty!

Though not mine (I currently don’t have one). This is a very friendly neighbourhood cat with the quietest meow I’ve heard.

That’s a great array of booze! Always nice to see.

I started with a Corpse Reviver No.2, as I’d never had one. Liked it. Then, on to the absinthe on its own.
