'I can see you, you know!' (could be either me to the cat, or the cat to me...) Love his little moustache!

The footsteps were right outside. There was a soft rattle and the tiniest squeak, and even in the dark she could see the handle turning first one way, then the other.

I got chucked out of Latin at a school in Germany for reading this - and laughing out loud - in class! My German pen-friend was mortified! But it was sooooo funny....

🧵Spotted While Roaming in Aotearoa New Zealand:

A tiny human (1?) is fascinated by Mum's shoelaces.(Ohhh.)
Whenever he undoes them, he sits back, looking at Mum expectantly.
Mum bends down, ties them and...
OOPS Tiny Human's undone them again!
A huge gummy grin on his face. (1)

Saw these velvety bean-like seed pods on a tree at a garden centre near us this week, and thought they were gorgeous.

The figure, clad in black to blend into the shadows at three o'clock in the morning, put one foot over the sill, found a secure footing on a wooden chest inside and quickly slipped into the house.
