Oh, that is so kind and lovely and appreciated. You’re truly fabulous and I’m so pleased to have met you here

I’m really sorry for your loss. He was obviously a wonderful cat, I hope your happy memories will be a comfort in your grief

Thank you so much lovely one, really appreciate it💛💕

I would *love* to read the book you wrote on it. Just based on this, I really wish you’d submit a proposal

Another brief, blissful draw without plan or premeditation, hoping to return to it as daily practice: as each time I remember the soft spill is an exceptional analgesic.
I try to be aware of, but not analytical about where these things come from but I was glad Sheela-na-whelk appeared again today

A ceilidh and fabulous shoes are worth a trip to A&E for pal! x

It means the most immense amount that you thought and felt that. I’m so happy and grateful, the most heartfelt thank you for the absolute gift of it all

Oh these are splendid!

I have just this minute finished listening to Birding by @regretteruane.bsky.social
Having now gathered myself, I just wanted to say that it is a remarkable book with characters so real, they feel like you've already met them. Melancholic, but laced with hope, this is a must read/listen.

Thank you SO much for listening in the first place, let alone responding with such generosity. Words like this are just the absolute dream to hear and I appreciate you taking the time to post them. I’m very grateful for everything about this and you’ve made me incredibly happy, thank you

Sending all good things to you

You are perfect conundrum and we are all intrigued and devoted

You’re a sweetheart and a love and the feeling is totally mutual, thank you xx

One of the best things to ever happen to me tbh!

Nonsense! You’ve at least ten times the wit, charm and aura I do.
And secondly, I look like someone Brundle fly-ed late stage Barbara Cartland & the mum from Rugrats

Immortal and every cosmetic counter loves to see me coming

Always. Their sort of transgressive giggly glee really delights my leathery, wizened old heart

Coward. I doubled down extra hard on my silly little fringe and made sure my lipstick is neon bright and badly applied at all times, and with my big, big specs, it has really paid dividends in teenagers bursting out laughing and whispering things like “Aunt Gladys coded” as I walk by

Thank you ever so much lovely

Thank you!!!

Thank you so much

The best medicine! Get well soon lovely x

Oh that’s a massive joy to me, thank you. If not to Betty

Ah that’s gorgeous of you love & it means a huge amount. Thank you x

That’s set me ever so emotional in an extremely appreciated way. What an absolute honour.
Also, I couldn’t relate more: something I still can’t quite articulate or understand about Covid did the same to me & it’s been a huge loss & lack in my life until very recently.
Like having an old friend back

Ever inspired by the wonderful words of @wildobliquities.bsky.social I have had a little draw & I bring you a smoking Sheela-na-whelk lighting her pipe with a flaming kewpie, all of which flowed out in the most enjoyable way & reminded me what excellent medicine a daily draw is for the old coconut

I’ve just finished listening to BIRDING by @regretteruane.bsky.social. I really don’t have the skill to fully express everything I felt along the way, but I couldn’t have found a better story to reignite the shamefully neglected desire to immerse myself in fiction. books.apple.com/gb/audiobook...
