Jesus, I wish these bots would leave me the feck alone. Offering to show me pictures of their cat. I have one of my own thanks, I can look at that, but to be honest, I'm more of a dog person. 🙃
And you lot that can't be bothered to write a bio, you can do one as well.

Day 8: Just the cauldron to do in cross stitch, then it's spider webs in running stitch, which I've never done before. How hard can it be? 🎃🦇🐈‍⬛🕸️🪦🪡

They have zero respect for women, no matter their colour. I wouldn't feel safe near that thug.

At the moment it's Gorta, which is set during the famine. That could change before I reach the end. I'll be reading the Horror Tales From England next as Adam Nevill has a story in it.

I had a similar experience yesterday when I discovered an important email went into my spam folder a whole month ago. As I don't usually get spam on that email account, I rarely check that folder. I will be checking it daily, going forward.

I can appreciate a nice cat, and I definitely don't wish them any harm. I just wouldn't keep one. Dogs are nicer, especially this one. 👇

Not sure why I was worried about the cat, I'm a dog person. Mind you, it was a nice cat. 😺
