Smol black kittens are prone to crimes. This one stole the tiny dongle for my wireless keyboard/mouse off my desk, and I was briefly convinced she must have swallowed it and I would have a very expensive vet bill, until I discovered it, extremely soggy, on the living room rug downstairs...

Today's #FolkloreThursday theme is travel, journeys & holidays.

The Wayfaring tree (Vibernum lantana) often grows alongside paths & is associated with protection for travellers, preventing them from getting lost & guiding them home.

Didn't finish any new books in December, though I did reread The Women Could Fly because I read it in a rush for my October book club & wanted to appreciate it at a slower pace. So that leaves me at 21 books read for 2024 (one not pictured as it was a library book - Daring Greatly by Brené Brown) 📚💙

In Waterstones today, spotted a @premeemohamed.com book AND it was the third Beneath the Rising book which I didn't own yet AND when I got to the till I had enough points on my card that it cost me nothing! So the gods definitely wanted me to have it. That's fine right? They're probably nice gods?
