What are you doing in life when your vehicle apparently requires four spaces? Must be important…#Badparking

Two favourites from the most recent release of picture books. Aggie is great fun and I always look forward to anything Freya Blackwood does. #Booksky
The cover of Afloat by Kirli Saunders. The illustration by Freya Blackwood depicts a gentle scene of group of people and animals investigating a body of water. Some are weaving together. Interior pages of Aggie and the ghost . A small person on a stool presents a long list of rules to a thoroughly unimpressed ghost who reclines wearily on a chair. Interior page of Afloat. The text reads “ To roll between finger and thumb. To yarn.” The illustration is of a friendly and engaged group of people some of whom are holding or rolling threads. It’s a warm and inviting scene. The cover of Aggie and the Ghost by Matthew Forsyth. A small person with a delightfully pointy hat walks through the rain. Behind them floats a small one-eyed ghost with pink cheeks.

Enjoy an unbothered cockatoo chomping on a seed pod. #Birdsky

New favourite. The illustrations are charming and the story and characters are fantastic. Great rug pull at the end. I love it! #Booksky
The cover of a picture book - The Emperor’s Egg by Rae Tan. A charming collection of small children and magical creatures gather around and observe a large egg.

Tawny frogmouths really are masters of disguise. #BirdSky
It might look like a very average picture of a tree but there are two sizeable birds cuddled up in one of the forks - tawny frogmouths. Always a treat to see.

On my walk. Both animals live behind the fence. The cat can leave. The dog cannot.

This made a friend and I laugh so much today. It is a very very funny book. If you are near a bookshop anytime soon go in and make your day better. #BookSky
Cover of a book written by by Neil Sharpson and illustrated by Dan Santa. It says Don’t Trust Fish in large blue letters. A green fish swims between the words. It looks over your nonsense and has protruding teeth.

I do love me a pelican perched on a lamp post. #BirdSky
A vivid blue sky intersected by the white arm of a lamp post. On top of the lamp itself is perched a very good pelican caught mid preen of its white chest feathers.

No tourists but also no cyclone so yay for easy parking and a nice walk. #Bird #Beach
A chonky kookaburra sits on a sign pointing to the river. There is a flash of blue on it’s side, it’s tail is long and stripey. It stares down with intent. Bands of sand intersected by a blue river. The sky is an ominous grey above the pleasing triangle of the mountain in the distance. In the foreground a person makes their way across the sand. Choppy seas and choppy skies where the river meets the ocean. The sky is a series of greys, the waves are green and flecked with white.

The office car park curlew. Their knobbly knees makes me so happy. #BirdSky
A curlew standing in front of a car. It has a speckled chest, very long legs and adorable knobbly knees.

Sometimes you just need a bit of fun and Mr Hiaasen always delivers. #Booksky
The bright cover of the Carl Hiaasen book Squeeze Me. The tail of the Q is is a forked tongue and a beaded necklace in draped over the last E.

Just caught this cheeky unit sneaking into the house. Frog burglars not as stealthy as their cat counterparts. #nature
Absolutely gorgeous green frog leaning into my house through an open louvre window, toes curled over the ledge with a smile on his face.

Is this a pumpkin? Because I haven’t planted one and this garden bed now looks like Day of the Triffids has arrived. Should I be concerned?
A garden bed containing what looks to be a small pumpkin, which is odd because I have not planted a pumpkin.

Those toes, those toes, those round toes. Live long and prosper my chunky friend. #frog
The silhouette of a green tree frog. A delightfully squat individual, feet splayed out, marvellous round toes, you can see webbing on the bottom right foot. The rest look like either they are performing a “ live long and prosper gesture” or they are Aardman slugs having a cheeky look at you.

I’m not usually one to make a negative comment but this is the weirdest and ugliest motorcycle I’ve ever seen. #badparking
A large black utility vehicle parked across 4 bays clearly labelled motorcycle. Because he is undoubtedly a special princess.

Rush hour for the flying foxes. I always enjoy the ones zooming back in the opposite direction. Probably forgot their charger.

Phillip Treacy pieces are very big in the canine community. McCoy is embarrassed for you.

What a disappointment. Good Omens stays on the shelf only by virtue of Pratchett and I hope my copy of AG stays lost.
The bottom of a grubby bin. Two books at the bottom. Both written by Neil Gaiman. It’s where they belong. It’s where he belongs.

Guess who’s off to the libraries? @ronnisalt.bsky.social
Three tall stacks of books. The spine says Gunnawah in bright read, the author’s name, Ronni Salt is in white.

Very different to her first translated novel but just as well written. Now can someone please make a movie or series of The Old Woman with the Knife? Because that needs to happen. #BookSky
The cover of Your Neighbour’s Table by Gu Byeong-mo. The illustration by Sjoerd Verbeck is primarily shades of blue. Silhouetted people peek from behind blinds in two buildings while a cat looks out from an undressed window and possibly contemplates knocking over the pot plant on its ledge.

Mostly I am a greedy reader but I slowed myself to an orbit a day and am so glad I did. A very lovely read. #Booksky
The cover of Orbital, the 2024 Booker Prize winner . Artist Aino -Maija Metsola’s cover depicts the view from the international space station. Coloured splodges bleed into the inky black at the top, and in the bottom left hand corner, a small but clear Earth sits below the trail of the Milky Way.
