Saw some really cool stuff today. It's amazing what you can find just walking around. Paris is a beautiful city and next time I WILL be able to speak French. 😉

The cats of Gozo. Orange cat was spotted at a Neolithic structure. I wanted to get a better photo so I put my purse and cap down. They immediately sat in the cap!
Second cat lured me with their charms while I was eating lunch. Yes, yes...I gave them some fish. OK, I admit it: more than some. 🙃

I promised you chocolate shop photos today and I'm hoping this does not disappoint. Only took photos at one shop: Cedric et la Chocolaterie. There was a line & I hesitated but @jeffvandermeer.bsky.social encouraged me. It was worth it!

Today I am planning to photograph the windows of chocolate stores. So excited! Stay tuned for more. But in the meantime, enjoy this beautiful display of fruit.

This beautiful cheese shop almost had me in tears. The owner was very knowledgeable and explained so much about each cheese when we asked. Yes, yes, too many were purchased, but how could we resist? Honestly, I consider this an art form (just wait until I share chocolate photos).

I promised you more music and I have fallen down on the job. Apologies! I have so many delicious albums ready to queue up for you. Soon, pantaloon, soon.

Many have told me they miss my 'On The Turntable Now' posts. You're in luck! I plan to resume very soon. These may become part of a larger project. Music soothes my soul and reminds me of who I am.

I'm being told by Thomas that I'm not a character in this novel but in a different one that just came out in The Netherlands: THE LAST STORY OF JAMIE GUNN. Looking forward to that one, too.
Look what just arrived! The latest novel by Thomas Olde Heuvelt. I can't wait to dive in. (Also, I've been told that I *may* be a character in the book. I hope I don't come to an unfortunate end 🙃).
