Lying on my lap having a belly rub. What a way to start Caturday.

Fidget toy that went to the States today. I love seeing what colours people choose! Time (and stock) running out if you're outside the UK and wanting to order in time for Christmas: classicalcatcrochet.etsy.com/listing/1534388230

I wanted to put more in the shop before Christmas, but time has run away with me. Here are some of my favourites that are available at the moment. If you want to support indie artists with your gifting this year: link in bio.

I leave my cosy fleece on the floor for ten seconds...

Just finished: Medea by Rosie Hewlett. I'm a sucker for the Greek myth women's-perspective retellings, and this one is particularly good.

It's you, Shabana. You're the one stirring up anger, doing Reform's work for them. The problem is you.

On a lighter note, here's Freyja enjoying a belly rub on my lap.

Look. If you claim to be a left-wing government but Tommy fucking Robinson is claiming credit for your policies, maybe you're just three fascists in a trenchcoat.

Little girl got a clean bill of health at her annual checkup, so enjoy her wild-eyed madness as she kills her favourite toy.

I'm supposed to be doing things, but someone has other ideas.

This is Freyja, looking intently at... something. Ghosts?

Home-grown carrots, from the sublime to the ridiculous.

I don’t see how this could possibly be comfortable, but what do I know?

Just finished: Middlegame by Seanan McGuire.

I really wish more fantasy authors would write standalones. I love knowing that I'll get a proper ending when I reach the last page.

BTW I've had this bookmark since I was like 7 years old and it's still my favourite bookmark I've ever had, I love this bookmark. #Booksky

Just finished Dance Of A Burning Sea by EJ Mellow.

I could see where most of it was going from very early on, but you also can't go far wrong with pirates. Lots of fun.

My new workplace gave me this little cutie as a welcome gift. They may have a higher-than-warranted opinion of my adulting skills. Thankfully I haven’t been employed on the basis of my ability to keep plants alive.

Just finished Song of the Forever Rains by EJ Mellow.

Another one that's been on my TBR list foooorever, and is so good that I'm gutted I only just got around to it. Though at least that means I can get straight on with the second.

Also might speak to the quality of my TBR list 🤔
