The Squinty Bridge in Glasgow reflected in the early morning calm of the Clyde. If you've looked out the window already, you'll know this wasn't taken today, but don't worry the blue skies and sunshine will return.

Is it just me, or does this thistle on a gate at Glasgow University appear to be mid-way through giving a lecture to passersby?

Perhaps part of the appeal is it’s difficult to hack a fax.

Hell hath no fury like a cat who’s been de-flea’d.

A combination of flowers I grew and ones I found at a tiny roadside honesty florist in a series of jugs and jars on a wooden table and with a dark background. Light is coming from the left

’Prepare them for the slump’: emergency planner Lucy Easthope shares the best ways to support a loved one in a crisis Lucy Easthope is an emergency planner whose job is to support survivors of major disasters, including earthquakes, fires and floods.

Because a lot of people are finding this week hard….

It's #InternationalCatDay today. So let's walk around pretending we're kings and queens. Oh wait, we do that every day anyway!
Jokes aside, it's a day to celebrate cats for all their awesomeness.

It’s my OH’s publication day. So proud of him.

A copy of the book Drystone – A Life Rebuilt by Kristie De Garis, propped upright on a drystone wall surrounded by bright yellow and green garden plants. The cover features five colourful stone shapes with the title text layered across them.

Today I held the finished copy of my book for the first time. Three years (or a lifetime?) in the making, and in just a month, it’ll be in readers’ hands.

'Drystone – A Life Rebuilt' is out 7 August.

Screenshot of a promotional webpage for the book Drystone: A Life Rebuilt by Kristie De Garis. The page features the book cover with bold, abstract stone shapes and a portrait of the author wearing a brown jumper against a muted green background. The text describes the memoir as an unflinchingly honest and unexpectedly funny account from one of the few professional female drystone wallers in the world. It outlines themes such as racism, trauma, ADHD, addiction, and motherhood. A competition box at the bottom offers 40 Times+ members the chance to win signed copies.

This week, The Times are doing a giveaway - 40 signed copies of my book! If you are a subscriber, you can enter.

I have a rubbish signature, so don't get excited about that part. The book is great though.
