I took my sewing machine of the shelf a couple of weeks ago and Tilly decided it was a great high up place to do a loaf pose.
A calcico tabby cat loafs, sitting next to sewing threads on a bookcase, filled with bigger sewing bobbins.

@charliejane.bsky.social I'm sure he or she is a very good boy, but why is he your book cover on the Google results for Lessons in Magic and Disaster I wonder? No need to answer that, but please let us know if there will be a UK edition?

a) this advert for an Easter nativity misses that he dies at Easter, nativity is birth?
b) why is it targeting watchers of Rose Matefao on YouTube? How do I tell the algorithm that I'm not a Christian?
c) what the holy Jerusalem fuck is that bridge supposed to be? And why is Mary white?
Top picture of Rose Matefao doing stand up, bottom picture within same screen shot is a crappy miniature Virgin Mary statue next to a railway bridge that wouldn't look out of place in Thomas the Tankengine. It is labelled "make your Easter nativity."

I'm a bigger numpty. I managed to break my finger by having exactly the same accident twice on a fortnight. At least you only got a bump.
Weird looking little finger. It is both wonky and weirdly flat at one end.

This garden tree stump has become overgrown with ivy. Apparently it was a listed ancient oak, but had become overwhelmed with pestilence and creepy crawlies. I found a twig pentacle on it earlier in the year. Does it bode well that my cat now sits on it glowing? Strangeness in the communal garden.
A cat sits on an ivy covered oak stump. Her eyes glow with the flesh of the camera, or does an earthly light shine out through her into the darkness.

It is now cannon in my head that when Tardis energy Rose was writing Bad Wolf everywhere she and the 9th Doctor visited, she stopped of at the BBC Radio Theatre to add this The Cure playing live. #doctorwho

@margaret.bsky.social 2 fav gifts, though the cat doesn't look impressed. I woke her to take the pic. On the right is an accurate duplicate carving of a lion in a priory which is somewhere between 100 & 700? years old. (Google Cartmel Priory miserchord for more).
On the left is Margaret Killjoy's book, The Sapling Cage, posed next to a fluffy cat on a bed. The cat refused to look at the camera. Photo taken in England. Cat looks well miffed. That's a sentence that probably doesn't translate to US English. This is a photograph of a wooden hand carving of a very derpy looking lion. He looks sleepy and like he's forcing a grin. It is old enough that the original carving was made by someone who had never seen a lion. Least fierce lion ever. Possibly has his hair in curlers. Surprisingly this is a highly accurate copy of a carving on a choir chair in Cartmel Priory in England.

I didn't realise the discourse here was American. Christmas *is* secular in England & Wales now. Christians aren't a majority (Census reported in the Guardian) but Christmas is still a holiday that is celebrated with trees, parties & gifts. (Graph from www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2022...)

Secular British South Asians let off fireworks for Divali. Divali is Hindu, but Sikhs also have a holiday and do some bits of Divali. Those same secular people, Hindus and Sikhs will be eating Christmas dinner and decorating a Christmas tree. Here is a secular Divali pic.
In the foreground someone is holding an enormous firework. It is nighttime. In the background I am holding an enormous firework and wearing a yellow coat.

Bell, Book and Candle is my new favourite Christmas movie. James Stewart meets Kim Novak on Christmas Eve.

Thank you to @annelouiseavery.bsky.social for the suggestion in the Old Fox Advent Calendar posts.

Today i saw a squirrel having his best day ever, carrying off a wrinkly old apple from the compost pile I share with my neighbour. I watched from inside, but didn't want to scare him away by getting a photo, so I've drawn the moment very, very badly, then used an AI to fix it. (Samsung AI).
AI has taken a bad drawing and made it into a pencil sketch. A squirrel looks happy and sits next to an apple. This is a crude sketch on a phone. The outline is white on a black background. A squirrel looks happy and sits next to an apple.

Has anyone else had to give their cat bedside water to keep them away from your bedside water?
Cute black cat with one eye sits next to a mug of water on the floor.

Happy Doctor Who Day. This is one of my favourite things from the 70s era. #doctorwho

#doctorwho Won't be having fish fingers & custard for tea. But I will have a finger sandwich followed by apple pie and custard. Here's a picture of that time I went to BritSciFi Con '23 in Leicester and met Peter Davison. I also met Janet Fielding & got quite emotional.

I am pretty bored of being housebound. (There's a lot of lying down after dislocating your hip). (Also Cambridge Imprint has very sturdy packaging
www.cambridgeimprint.co.uk)
A woman in a stripy top sits in head with a giant padded envelope on her head. Her face is completely covered and it looks like her head is 60 cm tall. Her glasses are on the outside of the padded envelope.

I refute this with Divali and photographic evidence of some definitely over the age of ten people.
At night in a garden, 4 adults hold very large sparkly burning fireworks as if they are magic wands. Mostly it's just sparks and you cannot see any of the adults faces. Please note the fireworks were designed to be hand held and I was incredibly fire safe.
