Today’s cat picture is of a very large, very silly boi. Tuna gives excellent upside-down-kitty face. Not quite as good as his sister Luna, but that’s probably the story of his whole, entire life. Still, he’s adorable in this pose even if he does look a bit like all his brain cells fell out and are rolling around the floor.
Tuna may look a bit discombobulated, but then that’s to be expected when a tree does its best to fall on your house in the middle of the night. Our house, actually. It started out far enough away that when it fell the topmost branches JUST barely brushed the house, so no damage was done. But it was certainly a surprise for all of us to wake up to in the morning!
Very, very much on my other hand, it was a terrific reading week that turned out to be full of GOOD surprises. Also murder, but mostly surprises. I was expecting this week’s books to be entertaining – otherwise I wouldn’t be reading them, but I wasn’t expecting Murder at Gulls Nest and A Gentleman’s Murder to be as excellent as they both turned out to be. I’m still in a bit of a murder-y mood, so there are more (fictional) murders to come this week.
We’ll all see how that goes, won’t we?
