Penguin Archives edition of The Veiled Woman by Anais Nin. Cover is a pale teal colour with black text in the most annoying angular font you can imagine.
(though I hate the cover font)

Today I applied to renew my British passport from Canada, read a short story by Anais Nin, made an enormous pile of pancakes and unintentionally had to walk my daughter home in a -30 windchill.
None of these things are related and that's what makes a good weekend.
A lot of talking about Bluesky going on around here tonight, so I’ll share this again — this platform has the best community and conversation relating to city-building/urbanism. And it’s the platform that I like the best, that’s closest to the old Twitter than I loved. I hope it keeps growing.

An open A4 notebook with a drafted essay handwritten in black biro. The biro pen lays on the right page. There are many words crossed out. Bubble font text reads "call for submissions"
Last CALL FOR SUBMISSIONS!

My favorite photos from the Olympics are of this Italian figure skater Daniel Grassl. He looks absolutely insane in so many of them. It's great.

It's -36 and of course our hot water boiler has died.
It is getting replaced by a mighty duo lugging large tanks about in this cold, but they are hindered by the idiotic kitten determined to leap through their legs and out the door at any given opportunity.
Does she not possess survival instincts?
Well, I did my thing... Not exactly crowds, but enough to keep me happy!

Toronto!! I have had THE BEST night.

Any bookish, speculative fiction folks around #toronto tomorrow? Please stop by because I am nervous as hell.

It is the time of year where my friend and I play "Is *** pregnant or is it her winter coat?"
Confirmed today: neighbour *** is pregnant with child #10.
Every other January....
