This is Lassie. We rescued her a few months ago. She's no kitten, about 2 years old, really sweet and weirdly classy until she gets hyper and bites my toes. Happy International Cat Day 😻

Hi, I'm in Greece & travelled close to the fires yesterday. The smoke was everywhere & it broke my heart to see the devastation. I wish our society would focus on protecting nature rather than investing in AI

Summer reading, aka finally going through my TBR pile Book 2 - 'La Faille' Antonis Samarakis Greek Title: Το Λάθος - English title: The Flaw Jean-Paul Sartre meets George Orwell. A masterpiece ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Summer reading Book 1 - Kitty's War by Eimear Lawlor I loved Kitty's voice & how the story surprised me at every turn. A tale about loyalty, duty, resilience. An incredibly touching story that grabs the reader from the beginning and doesn't let go until the last page.⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
