There's a German word that perfectly describes Elon Musks face:

Backpfeifengesicht
(A face that's badly in need of a fist)

In none of the dystopian novels I've read or movies I've watched, has it ever been the Park Rangers leading the uprising. But here you guys are, absolutely crushing it.

Na, you mix with shit and you're eventually going to start smelling like it.

Good people do not support Nazis. That's it. Can a Nazi sometimes do a nice thing? Sure can. But that doesn't make them a nice person.

Thanks so much Valerie!
Honestly I didn't even know there was a shingles vaccine but you can be damn sure in 3 months time I'll be getting it.
My husband never had chickenpox as a kid, nor was the vaccine around at the time, so I'm isolating to keep him safe.

Honestly, this is a stunningly beautiful picture.
I hope you have this enlarged and put up somewhere prominent in your home, where you can be reminded every day that the beauty of the universe is in perfect harmony with your own beauty.

I'd definitely be keen to join that!
A feed may be the best way to do this. Then people join that feed and post to it.

I have shingles.
And it's honestly awful.

I'm feeling very sorry for myself, and you all should too.

Also, PSA, vaccinate your children against chickenpox. I wish that option had been available when I was a child. This pain is completely preventable now.

A box of author copies of Dance With the Fae with a blue silhouette of a castle. 
Blurb says 

1919 MAY DAY
Kit Arton-Price should be celebrating. It's his engagement party and, unlike many young men of his gencration, he survived The Great War. Whilst his fancΓ©e, Adelaide, is dancing with one of their guests the enigmatic Mr Wilde, the scars on Kit's face bear the heavy toll of battle - and the scary on his heart bear a secret he's been forced to carry in silence.
In the morning. Adelaide cannot be woken and the village doctor declares its the mystifying Sleeping Sicknes' - an unexplainable epidemic affecting socicty.
But there is more to this sickness than first meets the eye and it's not long before Kit is lured into new realm. One of magic and danger.
The realm of the Fae…

I love getting books though I never quite know what to do with them other than make a big pile and gaze at them.
Might do a giveaway so watch this space…

Eighty years ago today, over 7,000 prisoners of the German Nazi camp #Auschwitz, including some 700 children, were liberated by the soldiers of the Soviet Army.

1,689 days of murder, pain, suffering, and humiliation were over.
Today, we all remember. We must keep remembering.
