READING 2025: Enjoyed the always compelling (if sometimes problematic) BALKAN TRILOGY by Olivia Manning, especially after briefly visiting Bucharest a couple of years ago and falling a little bit in love with it.

I'm working on slight of hand magic tricks and practice in my house a lot. Sometimes in front of dogs. Am I hurting their brains when I'm blowing their minds?"

Bit sad (especially at this time of year) but we had an accident at ours last night. Everyone’s okay, but I’m santa now.
