Some of the non-book things I love are my late wonderful aged dog, my harmonicas, my young handsome dog, my awesome musician son, my art, my piano, my handsome husband, my guitars.

I had to replace my 35 year old Magimix with this beauty. There’s a chance the thirty year guarantee will outlive me.

I know, but in my head he looked so much older! Also, I’m 64 so anyone below 40 looks young 😉

And the music is perfect 🙂

In my head, everyone was older but I have no idea why 🤷‍♂️

What’s not to love?!

I read digital versions of newspaper, UK and worldwide, via the library. Of course, often the articles aren’t as in-depth as on a website but it’s a help.

The Reading Glass @thereadingglass.bsky.social · 22d

Oh my word. As soon as it’s available in the UK I shall buy one. Unless, of course, you’d like to send me one 😁

Sadly I don’t think it will matter how reform act. Like trump, they give people permission to hate.

Ah, that moment of panic. I understand it. I have my late dog’s ashes and never leave him alone in the dark.

Remember that bedtime prayer children were taught? I’m an atheist but here’s my version.

As I lay me down to sleep
I pray the lord my soul to take.
If I should die before I wake
Hallef*ckinglujah.
