Just finished “The Ministry of Time“ by Kaliane Bradley, and I’m utterly bereft. Starting “The Glass Hotel“ by Emily St.John Mandel, who is becoming one of my favourite authors. Next up “Drive your Plough Over the Bones of the Dead“ by Olga Tokarczuk. More in alt… #BlueBrewBooks

Favourite things? Dogs, coffee, chocolate, cake, food in general, big cats, art, reading, big cats with spots and contemptuous stares? I really can’t decide! This is a version of one of my earlier drawings, and still one of my favourites. #BlueSkyArtShow #FavoriteThings #EastCoastKin #Caturday
