My mum was born in 1933. She has just died, aged 92. A life lived … all the things she did that Rosa wasn’t able to. So sad.

The irony here is that I cannot read all of this article, because I do not subscribe to it.

Excellent. I have a jar of vodka still steeping from last year. This year’s crop was so huge, I’ve made jelly and cheese, and still have enough for jam.

You and I share identical versions of these books. What a rush of nostalgia, seeing those covers.

. This was the height of excitement. Two manic kittens leaping crazily through the house, climbing windows, walls … wherever that big buzzy thing goes, so do they. Until Col squashed it! They are still looking for it. Bet they’ll be on spider patrol later too.πŸͺ°πŸ•·οΈπŸˆβ€β¬›πŸˆβ€β¬›

Kittens honing their hunting skills. Last night, a giant spider made a brief appearance from behind a stack of books. Kittens spent the whole evening prowling around looking for it. Returned to the same spot this morning … very focused, until the appearance of a very big, very buzzy bluebottle

Mine got upset the other evening during our Slow Horses revisit binge. It ordered me to bed at 10:30.
