Good plan! I’m trying to increase the percentage of cat photos in my feed. Matisse is doing her best to help.

Matisse here. Day one of freedom. Achievement unlocked: make my slaves go and fetch the big ladder to rescue me. Operation successful: rewarded with food. #catsofbluesky

One month after the massive fire in the Corbières, I explored the epicentre. Not very far: I got to a point where I couldn't bear it any more and turned back. There are thousands of hectares like this, as far as you can see. Jonquières, Corbières, France. #photography

Two jars from there, the 3rd from a recent trip to Italy. Yes, it's expensive -- all of these honeys were almost €10 a jar. But a jar lasts for ages; it's a treat, not something I eat every day. And the flavours are unique. 2/2

I made a sourdough babka 😊 It took two days and got a bit out of control, but I'm pleased with it. #baking #sourdough

WTAF? This is insane. Out of control teenagers corrupting national databases and cutting off SS benefits by declaring people dead when they are not.

My book group is this evening. We take turns to choose. An atypical choice this time (we normally go for more heavyweight reads). I’d never heard of it but really enjoyed it.
