#FirstCoffeeOfTheDay it isn’t because I’m channeling a British / Scandinavian seagull called Joakim 🍟🥤

So sweet when everyone in the neighbourhood sees the same evening sky 🌅

There’s a lake in the fog behind the trees 🍂🌲🍁

Hot emotions on hot day: Sigge Eklund’s #TheGroup tr. from Swedish: Rachel Willson-Broyles @ithakapress.bsky.social ‘Taking us from the sultry streets of Madrid to the gleaming world of Mediterranean luxury villas & exclusive art world parties, it’s a timeless story of hidden identity & obsession.’

New day, new week and all that #MondayMotivation ☀️ 🌳 🌻

#FirstCoffeeOfTheDay ☕️ Honestly, it’s first. Got up late, plus I didn’t know how to use the coffee machine 😹

I started my day by spilling tea (Earl Grey, sugar & 🍋) on a car seat and sitting in it. Now I’m waiting for the bus while two big seagulls discuss plastic rubbish bags. And I’m on my way to a big town 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

Agreed? 😉😎

Strength, seagulls and stormy clouds in Sidmouth 🌊

Quick stop in Portsmouth 🌊 and also at the @corylusbooks.bsky.social’s headquarters where I met two feline senior managers L and L: Editorial 🐈 and Foreign Rights 🐈‍⬛. Both L&L have strict dinner table rules: no social media and no mobile phones, unless to order fresh food.
