Scoville in his natural habitat; a pile of my clothes. No, I didn't want to put them on again after my NYE run. #FIVPositive

I don't use a smartphone, relying instead on an old Nokia handset. I do however need something with NFC for diabetic cat monitoring, so a few years abo I bought a rather damaget Pixel 2 XL off fleabay.
The years have not been kind to it, so I finally got around to replacing the screen.

Thanks for the links, but in the UK, for the first 6 at least, none of these give me an audiobook option, only the ebook. For Kindle the audiobook option has nothing to buy and for Kobo there's no audiobook option.

And with that book number 50 for the year is done.
Jeeves Again is a strange anthology. It made me read 22 pages of Alan Titchmarsh and there's clearly a thirst for some Jeeves/Wooster slash fiction in literary circles. However, any book with almost 50 pages of @jasperfforde.bsky.social is OK by me.
