The seamless transition from elegantly lounging pretty kitty to feral lunging goblin maw…

When you are that pretty, I think vanity is allowed. (My ginger kitty has snuggled down *into* the clean laundry, preventing any folding. Freshly warm sheets.)

Guess I’m not getting up for breakfast, or reaching my notebook anytime soon. But the Rules of Cat are simple and finite.

We call it ’z waves’ - the powerful emission of force from a snoozing cat that can induce a nap in anyone within radius.

They are ridiculously patient with us stupid monkey blobs, and our inability to grasp fundamental routines.

Just had a rather fabulous week at #TyNewydd - a bunch of crime writers lurking murderously with wine and home-made biscuits. Fantastic tutors @fionacumminsauthor.bsky.social and @oliviakiernan.bsky.social

When a spider is large enough that you can hear it walking across the wall, it is Too Big. Especially in a bedroom. Am fairly proud that I did not yell when waking, but this time, said spider was not dropping onto my face.

Pebbles is a darling, and should be cuddled extensively (if she wishes to be, ofc)

No worries or cares when you are a fluffy cat on a warm bed (I’m away next week, so extra cuddles and fuss are happening)

I was trying to be polite 🤣 Dude wrote a film that was ‘giant robots punching monsters’ so I wasn’t expecting nuance. Having a gaslamp fantasy that felt far more rooted in the American experience was interesting, though. Mostly, it’s thinly-veiled Victorian London or generic Mittel Europa.

I only saw the first season, haven’t been able to get the second yet - big fan of that gaslamp/steampunk world-building. Also, even less subtle on the allegory than Pratchett 😁

You can usually trust Mr Slater on matters of cheese. It is, however, a good idea to be wary of chili levels in his recipes.🥵

Ent cats! Forever sharpening their claws on their owners, madly impatient at the time it takes to get fed…

That show was hilariously bonkers, I was sorry it got binned - watching it in incredulous gleeful horror, as history and mythology got a total shoeing. I have a vague memory of ancestral swords?…

Toad in the hole, with fat herby butcher’s sausages, and onion gravy made with last year’s sloe gin. Autumn is here 😋

Enjoying the new season of ‘Bookish’ - clever and twisty, and stuffed full of classic crime homage.

Both your delightful little voidlings together are about the size of my one horrible fluffy orange beast.

My student years. Upstairs in Forbidden Planet, Cardiff. I stood up from behind the stacks when they went to turn out the last lights, and frightened the booksellers quite badly - apparently, a sweeping black coat and Pratchett fedora rising abruptly out of the shadows made an impression.

🥵 Well, those were NOT ’mild, fruity’ chillies, as promised on the label. It made for a very nice prawn pathia, but I seem to have gone slightly deaf.

I don’t have DM’s enabled, because I refuse to hand over deets for ‘age verification’, but I‘m generally lurking about. 🙂

Medieval history and archaeology (BA II.i) a very long time ago. I am generally discouraged from watching anything quasi-historical, on the basis my viewing can get somewhat…interactive.

Your rewatch narration reads pretty much like my internal monologue over the course of my entire degree…🤣

I did medieval history and archaeology, bias towards post-Conquest (castles!) - but yeah, the societal shift 400-1000 alone is ridiculous.

Liz King @lizking.bsky.social · 03/09/2026
To be fair, it’s…. a very long time since I did my degree. Bede is the one still scarred into my memory. (Him and sodding Gildas) 😱

Liz King @lizking.bsky.social · 03/09/2026
*squints* yeah, reckon that might have been surprising news to Bede et al. Seriously, there’s ignorance, and then there’s wilful stupidity like this.

Cannot post a pic for Ginger Cat Appreciation Day, since said Ginger Cat is prowling in the garden, seeking whom she may devour 🙄
