Part of me wants to say "He's a perfectly well adjusted gentleman" but I know I'd be lying. I've had him 10 years this year, and although he's mellowed out a lot, he can still be a complete goofball. But, we're goofballs too so he's in good company. My partner calls him Sir Floofsalot.

I didn't have the heart to tell him that the glass he bought me is so big and heavy and full it's hurting my wrists just to drink out of it.
But I did tell him how amazing and wonderful he is.

Here's Jaffa lounging on his scratch pad like a pompous Roman citizen at a Feast.

... more easily. I only have 2 dislikes about this one: a characters adoptive parents were called his step parents at one point. Not cool. And 2, Maria really has a difficult time with men. Poor girl. I just want to hug her. But really great book. Really enjoying these!!

And also so excited. This is t the first @craigrussellauthor.bsky.social book I've read, but is the first Jan Fabel one I've read all the way through. It ended on such a cliffhanger! Very very well written.

Everything is so different. I thought I could handle it but I really can't.

This year is a shadow. There's a plain salmon starter, no hugs, my dad trying to insist that I like certain foods when I don't, furniture that has been in the house since I was a child suddenly got rid of.
I am missing my mum so much. I'm sat in my childhood bedroom crying my heart out.
