Hmmm

Wash the baby

Be smooshed by the baby

Plot with the baby

Fight the baby

Margo Leadbetter and Reg’s love story is my favourite thing to ever happen @fibowler.bsky.social

Parenting is tough sometimes

Good morning from Margo Leadbetter

If you liked Andor, check out this book that highlights the rise of fascism in the real world as reflected in the Star Wars saga! You see how Tony Gilroy pulled from history for this galactic tale! @chriskempshall.bsky.social joins us in a few weeks to talk about it, so let's hear your questions!

Is it possible to visit Ozzy? Asking for an currently collegeless Oxford academic (me)

Emer come and meet Reg and Margo Leadbetter!

Can confirm it does make life perfect

Crime Lord and his apprentice

The plumber is here

Very rare as we all usually have very different opinions 🤣

We read Grimspace for our book club last year and everyone adored it!

It’s been fantastic. I did a lot of research before I bought it and it’s the best single boiler on the market at the minute in my opinion. It has a PID which lots of others don’t (rancillio Silvia etc) as well as a 58mm portafilter. Highly recommend.

He takes his barista role very seriously

Evening

I simply must go and fuss this baby

Reg says go read it, it’s important

Do you ever feel like you’re being… watched?

Me: no I’m not nosy
Also me, as soon as there’s the faintest whiff of neighbour drama:

This plumber isn’t very good. He’s been in my sink for three hours and he’s charged me £700

Margo Leadbetter is biting my hand

Margo Leadbetter is making bitey-face because she cannot bite my hand at this angle but she really really wants to

Margo Leadbetter is biting my arm while slapping me in the face and she looks so so happy

Margo Leadbetter is biting my chin

We are trying to learn bite inhibition. Don’t ask me how it’s going

Margo Leadbetter, a very cute calico tabby kitten, approximately 5 weeks of age, is lying on her back with her head wedged into my armpit as I lie on the bed. All of her limbs splayed merrily in the air as she tries to fight my arm to the death. Her mouth is open in a gleeful expression that I have come to know as “bitey face”, because it is the face she makes when she wants to bite you, which is almost always. Biting makes her feel good

I just need to reassure you all that Margo Leadbetter remains full of crimes

@fibowler.bsky.social she’ll be your problem soon

Mine is working??

Just two gals hanging out

She is an absolute CRIMINAL. My arms are in RIBBONS. She and Reg are going to wreak havoc and I for one cannot wait to see it

This reply has promoted an intense discussion in my cat group chat about what type of coat Margo Leadbetter has
