Final book in the Thursday next series announced and I have to wait a whole year. That’s just plain rude! At least it gives me time to reread the series. #books #reading #jasperfforde #thursdaynext

Happy #caturday. Molly hopes you all had a good one. She slept. She ate. She played. She had a good clean while sitting on her favourite tissue paper #blackcats #blackcatsofbluesky #catsofbluesky #ownesbyacat

Happy #caturday this one decided to give us a fright last night. Breathing rate was higher than normal and using accessory muscles. Not a full on asthma attack and it settled. Twice daily inhaler for a while #asthmacat #blackcats #ownedbyacat #catsofbluesky
