    In which I realise I don’t know anything about otters in this part of the world. Happy Otter Day! Who doesn’t love an otter, am I right? I am here to celebrate any animal every day, but when they have one all to themselves, I tend to push the boat out. Same with full moons…

    Er, one day late. World Bee Day was 20 May. Yesterday, I got it together enough to make this lil graphic and post it on Facebook and Insta. Sorry, beloved blog! Remember when posting on blogs was the first port of call? Me too, blog, me too. So while the United Nations are falling down…

    Oh, and… Happy Valentine’s Day, too. So, Valentine’s Day was A Thing in the Regency era, which was fun to find out.

    Up with anthropomorphism! A recent post on the Animal Rescue Site claims that people who talk to their pets are smart. Being a person who talks to any and all animals, pets or otherwise, I see no point in disputing this, because I am smart. Author Matthew Russell cites a study (here’s the link to…

    Says the Honorable Felicity Templeton…just before she does so. Not gonna lie: I am not a big fan of Regency Era furniture. It’s all very dark with fiddly ornate little bits that don’t appeal to my own preferences, but oh! I would chaise the heck out of this lounge. Sexy and elegant! Without spoiling, it’s…
