This is so very lovely of you and has helped me (with a limited income as a disabled person) to bring some lovely reading/bonding time to a new mother & baby in the early days of motherhood 💕

This morning I enjoyed author @lucyvandrew.bsky.social first newsletter with a nice cup of tea.📰 Fortunately, it was not like the cup of tea served up in her upcoming novel and it was served with milk rather than poison! ☕️🫖☠️

I think (if I’ve remembered correctly) that it’s called that because the characters start a podcast with that name - they want to start a crime podcast but decide it will only be about the murders which take place in their building - something like “only murders in the building make the cut”

They do know they can have different food on each of their plates, don’t they? The only way I can see this as a problem is if for some reason they’re putting the whole meal in a blender and drinking it from one huge glass with two straws
