An image of a cat that doesn't appreciate having his picture taken.
Kúri was laying in a fabric bag adorably but moved when he saw me point the phone at him resulting in a slightly blurry picture of him moving towards the phone.

I may be going through some things these couple of months 🤔
A graph from the StoryGraph showing the number of books read and minutes listened for the months of 2025. October and November both show a VERY high number, November being the highest of all months so far.

2 minutes after that and Kúri gave in and moved into the 2nd cave.
2 gray cat caves side by side. Kúri - gray tabby - on the left and Una - black - on the right.

2 minutes later and Una has joined Kúri in the cave.

Could this be defined as a cat tower... Just a very minimalistic one 🤔
An IKEA stool wearing a gray fabric transforming the underside into a cat cave. Inside the cave Kúri - gray tabby - can be seen. On top of the stool is a collapsed crocheted cat cave, and Una - black - laying on top of it.

He kept trying to get into the box (I was storing partial yarn balls in it) so I ended up emptying it. This is the result.

He's adorkable 🥰

VERY.

I like it short, easy to manage, nothing tickling my neck.

Hwang Dong-Hyuk, the director of Miss Granny, which was shown today is, here in Iceland as a guest of honor at Iceland Noir. He heard about the Korean film festival, and that one of his movies was being shown and accepted our greetings and thanks before we watched the movie. 🫰🏻
3 Korean people sitting in front of a movie screen looking into an auditorium full of people. Only the backs of the heads of the people in the first few rows can be seen.

Justin case you are wondering what I'm doing this weekend.

The bathrooms at the Lava Show in Vík are unisex. I like that.

Checking in on Kúri today. A story in two images.
Two pictures of Kúri on a pale blue background. The top one shows him resting on his back, paws up in the air. Next to it is a black text saying "Resting". The bottom one is slightly blurred but shows him on his belly after having flipped over. Next to it is a black text saying "Noticed the human".

There was a lot of 1.2 - 2x speed listening this month. Re-reads only as I do want to catch nuances during a first listen. It has meant that the normal 1x speed feels REALLY slow
Image showing a graph from The StoryGraph app displaying my reading stats for the month of October. 27 books read, 272.58 hours listened, mostly fantasy, romance, and science fiction.

Took HaNa to the vet today... The vet's name: Hanna. I was amused 😊

HaNa was a very brave girl, and it really helped that I gave her Bonqat a couple of hours before the appointment. It's a medicine that helps with the stress of travel and vet visits.

What feeling is she displaying here? It could be anything 🤷🏻‍♂️

Day 8. Behold my recklessness
White background. Upper left corner has a black dot with the number 8 and a period in white letters. Next to it is the word "reckless" in black letters. Below is a white box with black outlines. Inside, and outside the lines, is a reckless drawing of a blue box that is more like a diamond. On top of that is a recklessly drawn pink triangle. And on top of those is a recklessly drawn yellow spiral that overlaps itself and is very wonky. An especially crappy picture!

Day 7. In the sky or the sea, baby, you're a star to me!
White background. Upper left corner has a black dot with the number 7 and a period in white letters. Next to the dot in the center of the image is the word "starfish" in black letters. Below is a white box framed by black lines. Inside is a crappy drawing of a yellow star with green eyes and a pink mouth in the center. Surrounding it are blue squiggly lines supposed to indicate an ocean to make it a starfish rather than a star in the sky.

Day 6 - I forgot to draw and post yesterday 🤦🏻‍♂️
White background. Upper left corner has a black dot with the number 6 and a period in white. Next to it is the word "pierce". White box with a black frame inside which is the outline of a pink heart with a blue arrow piercing it.

Day 5.

Hello dear!
White background. Upper left corner has a black dot with the number five and a period in white letters. Next to it is the word Deer. Below is a white box framed by a black border. Inside the box is a crappy black line drawing of what is supposed to be a deer.

Day 4.

Behold a crappy landscape and murky water!
White background. Upper left corner has a black dot in which there is the number four and a dot in white. Next to it is the word "murky". Below is a white box with a black border, inside there is a crappy landscape picture with a yellow triangle in the top left corner, green squiggles creating an irregularly shaped border just above the middle of the box, and below that are blue squiggles with a couple of broader black squiggles. If one has a good imagination then this is a depiction of "murky water".

Day 3 - behold my crappy royalty.
A white background. In the top left corner is a black dot with the number 3 and a period written in white. Next to it is the word "crown". There is a white box with black outlines. Inside the box is a crappy drawing of a crown. The outlines are yellow, there is a tall spike in the center with two bumps on either side, and half visible bumps on either side of those due to the circularity of a crown. In the center and side spikes are a pink diamond and two halves of diamonds visible. The two bumps between those each have a green dot. Just above the bottom of the crown is a cross hatched band and below it are 9 small blue dots. A proper crappy crown.

Day 2 - this year's pictures continue on my theme of crappy pictures no matter what the prompt is.
White background, at the top there's a black circle with the number 2 and a period, then the word "weave". Below is a white box outlined with black. Inside the box there are 8 pink vertical lines, and 24 shorter blue lines that only reach between the outermost pink lines. This is a crappy picture intended to depict a woven fabric.
