Oooh!! Excited to discover that one of my ebook distributors (Draft2Digital) is now working with Bookshop.org! It'll take a little while for my titles to go live but that's something I've been trying to work out how to do for a long time :)

Hoping my former institution succeeds at the High Court. It is a critically important case for the whole sector.

In a variation on the Covid ‘pyjamas under the desk’ look, today I am trying to break in a set of really uncomfortable shin pads, and new Converse.
A devil to get them off when the doorbell rings, I tell you.

This bobcat brings me joy.
T'Challa gets a fresh fennel every Friday--here's today's offering. Also the first time in ages I've seen him upright; they have problems when they need to check his back for anything, because if a human approaches he flops in his favorite pose: belly-up.

After hitting the tunnel disruption yesterday and getting to bed at 2am after a 17 hour journey, chances of making midnight are slim to middling… also currently full of excellent food and wine from Cafe Lilli, a magnificent local institution.

Double decker felines, waiting for a train.

Double decker felines, waiting for a train.
One hour down. The train seven before us is due to leave at 1938 now so that puts us close to 10-11 with a five hour drive home the other side and two cars who are refusing to eat or drink.
And so it begins. Last time I saw it this busy was the day Bin Laden was shot and the security was tight as a drum.
