It seems I’ve been remiss about paying the #BrookeEntryTax (sincere apologies!) To make up for this, here is both a picture of the best dog (Percy!) but also my magnificent cat Oliver, who I had before Percy, both enjoying the Venetian sunshine on separate trips!

North American in Ireland here - I run a decent-sized dehumidifier almost year round. Cost a few hundred euro, and obviously uses electricity too but 100% worth it to keep mould at bay. Helps with drying laundry inside too!
