I like the taste, just thought you might. Tell you what I do is buy industrial quantities of powdered coconut milk and throw that into my coffee -- dry, lots of stirring -- and it's gorgeous. (also use to cook). I'm not lactose intolerant tho.

Does goat milk screw with your stomach?

My copies of the gorgeous No Alibis special edition of #FewAndFarBetween just arrived with their bespoke covers, sexy endpapers and additional essay about the history behind the novel. Only 500 available, all signed, numbered, with a Rory Jeffers map of the Ark. Preorder from the No Alibis website.

The (non AI generated) images coming out of Glasgow this morning are devastating.

I think this is about the temperature but honestly it works for decades as well

Oh found settings whoops

How do I even do that? Seem not to be any Settings. Just a three dot thing with unnecessary options. Hmmmm.

No energy to block all the fresh bots that cropped up as followers overnight. Perhaps I have to make the account private for a while? Does that stop them? @support.bsky.team

Here’s hoping.

I block them and they come right back.

No one will learn anything from this, I predict.

@bsky.app @support.bsky.team Hi. Any idea why I am spending today blocking a big influx of what look like imaginary US and Canadian accounts purporting to be anti T***p and anti fascism and so on? Is there no way to head them off at the pass? Thanks.

THIS. If you’re in central Glasgow tonight please close your windows; if you have to be out please wear the best mask you have available. If you can smell it, you’re at risk.

It is horrible. Glad no casualties.

I prefer the word fabulous, but they sure can be confusing!

Horrible. Hope there haven’t been deaths.

Oh, something to read after pottery. Thanks.

Doesn’t work like that. Brains are wild and untamed things.

I predict I will cry at clay tonight. Three terrific potters all of them lovely.

What a cute winner and runner up. #Crufts

Doesn’t care who’s gonna win Crufts.

And if you should have received the first two, because you subscribe, and haven't, drop me a line so I can look into it. x

Oh gosh oh gosh! She’s up there with our Celias. I read the two at left first, by accident. Never looked back. Haven’t yet read the other Gollancz, and am always looking out for her stuff. (Husband Frank Millar was Ross MacDonald)

Margaret never disappoints. Why aren’t her novels being filmed?

I see pottery is on at 9pm because first we have to see the best dog. I've dipped in and out of the Crufts coverage. Take it from me: They're ALL the best dog.
