Honeyeater, by Kathleen Jennings @tanaudel.bsky.social which, if you're anything like me, will drag you under water and send you into a fugue state. Dark secrets, family history, death - which could be trigger warnings for some of you, and lures to reel others of you in. Haunting, lyrical.

Monday book group is random day drinks club for the season. Blackbird club was Thursday, busy w/writers group, but switched to Monday morning which would be 2 for one book club day, but now it's gone to Wednesday. We had our gift book party, and I can't remember what I got, but I gave a favorite

Welp, I was off by an inch and it's still coming down 😳

We're either getting 4 - 8 inches tomorrow or a bunch of rain. If my weather underground is to be believed, we will get 7 inches followed by a warm-up and steady rain.

I'm guessing flamingo, then!
