Likewise I am not learning to be a Welsh Witch.

Honest.
A copy of the book "Welsh Witchcraft" sits on a desk beside a copy of "The Mabinogion", under the watchful eye of a small, crocheted baby dragon.

Another one off the TBR - LOST by Ele Fountain - and WOW. I love this book. The beautiful and economical writing, the addictive plot, the gorgeously crafted characters. Want to read it all over again. Thank you Ele Fountain for this sad, joyous story. #OcTBRChallenge @octbrchallenge.bsky.social

Carly the coffee is very happy that our wifi has been restored!
A black cup off coffee, taken as a birds eye view, where the crema froth has settled in such a way that it looks like a widely smiling face.
