I’m slowly working my way through a gorgeous Folio Society copy of The Hobbit; taking a newly-edited version of The Falconer by Elizabeth May out for beers in the sunshine most weekends; and listening to endless alien smut audiobooks from the free section of Audible. (I contain multitudes.)

Photo of the Folio Society edition of The Hobbit, with foiled gold swirls on a red hardback, and a portrait of Smaug the dragon on the front cover.

Everyone probably already knows the plot, but I’d never read it before, and if I manage to finish it (I struggle to read physical books these days), I’ve promised myself the Folio LOTR trilogy to match it.

Photo of the front cover of the newest version of Elizabeth May’s The Falconer, a golden design of thistles on a forest green hardback, with a crossbow at its centre.

Initially edited to suit a YA description, it has been re-released with the original, spicier “romantasy” spirit of the novel. I’m not gonna lie, I bought the trilogy to look pretty on my new bookshelves, but it’s really good (and indeed extremely pretty!)

I started using Pagebound recently and love it. It has old-school-internet, pre-enshittification vibes, a nice community, good functionality. Do I like the fun art/cover/bookshelf visuals of other apps? Yes. Are they worth the AI cost and enriching a tech bro who doesn’t even read? Absolutely not.

My husband and my two BFFs are in London, Chicago, and NYC right now. Yesterday it was so beautiful here on the island that I felt sorry for them all—multiple times!—for being in some of the greatest cities on earth instead of here. Today I do not.

Screenshot of my weather app, showing 6 degrees Celsius and 54mph winds, with the forecast “strong winds and heavy rain”.

Another weather app screenshot showing the hourly predictions for today, with 90-100% chance of heavy rain, and wind speeds ranging from 41-54mph

A mixed-neurotype marriage can be great—my mystical hypersenses can locate his missing phone for him 16 times a day because I felt it vibrate an hour ago from two rooms away, and he can use his special-interest gadgets to dim the lights and close the curtains to my exact meltdown-prevention levels 🥰

So I was here back in the beginning, but returned to the bad place for awhile. I followed loads of people then, so my feed is full of old pals 🥰 But it’s also about 50% sexy anime art (not my usual thing), from people I do not follow and have never heard of. Is the Sky just especially horny, or???

The 6-month-old puppy is having A Time today, so had to be put in her crate an hour and a half ago (all needs freshly met). If she is quiet for just five minutes, she gets to come out. So far her record is two (2) minutes without howling like a cartoon wolf—“ow ow owoooooooooooo” 🙄😵‍💫😐

I feel that this site could do with more pet pics, no? So could I perhaps trade you this sweet scene of domestic bliss for some good luck? Our Maisie (the big blonde) is going in for major surgery today, so we could use the good vibes! ❤️

It's officially #Gef the Mongoose Day! Gef 'was an extra clever mongoose'... ... however, Gef's skills do not appear to have extended to drawing! 😉 Yes, this really is a self-portrait. By a mongoose. Welcome to my research world! 🤣🤣 📷 Senate House Library

A badly drawn pencil sketch, vaguely of a head outline. The caption is written in fountain pen 'Crude sketch by Gef supposed to be of his head' 17th August 1935. And initialled JTI, John Irving.

This paper was such a delight, coffee in hand and back under the duvet on a rainy Manx morning. It’s an archeological mystery about a possible forgery by an enigmatic Victorian ghost hunter and “antiquarian”. And on Gef the Mongoose Day Eve! 🥰 (Price appears in that story too!) t.co/KmKCB4XFGL
