Did you read "We'll Prescribe You a Cat" by Syoda Ishida?

Every night more well-wishers for Hookland, literally and figuratively. It does my heart good. A warm breeze with fresh cut grass blow for your rest.

Trains are my favorite place to write and think. #Hookland folks, when you think of portals, do you imagine them as a one-way door, or can things move both ways across the same threshold?

I'm on a train for the next 16 hours. I wish I had Moss Maiden as my seatmate.

Like attracts like. I detest Instagram, and a subscription that lets me show up and binge read an author feels great for me. I'm sure you have a perfectly human voice, and I'll probably hear it in an interview eventually.

I would make dinner and dance with Mary Marlow. Goodnight, Hookland.

(Because I love a dance off.) If you see this, you can just enjoy it or repost with your own. Here's Aishwarya Rai "Salaam"

I would delight in a #Hookwatch

I hope it pays well enough for you to buy a brownstone.

This is a dance-off. If you see this, repost a dance.

Goodnight, Hookland. We're all a bit braver (and a bit more aware) in dark places thanks to you.

Don't let gloomy weather get you down.
Enter a dense fog, lose yourself in mossy corridors and shadowy nooks, radiate your own darkness from within and envelop everything.
You are the gloom.

The entire frame of the picture is full of purple violets

Going to make some violet jelly because this day sucked so far and I'm not giving in to it

I wonder if you know how comforting it is to have been given the grace to be a bad writer in Hookland and still welcome. That, to me, is what makes it feel like home. Did I spend hours making an incoherent paragraph? No matter, look at this lovely flower someone found in the hedge by a new portal.

Untroubled sleep to you, Hookland.

Maybe what you need is an elderly Siamese slow blink & purr

Oh wow I have never had a bergamot fruit, I was thinking bee balm bergamot, used for tea. Now I want both kinds.

It never occurred to me to make a liqueur from my bergamot, thank you!

Thinking of you, Hookland. Hope you get some sound sleep.

This was a negligible problem during the pandemic. It may also reflect who's still on Facebook now (I'm only there for mutual aid groups, but I suspect the huge numbers of trolls on many feeds are related)

The number of people I find on my Buy Nothing group blatantly reselling stuff on Marketplace they got for free, sometimes using the same pictures.

Clannad - Theme from Harry's Game (Official HD Video) YouTube video by ClannadVEVO

Like probably many people my age, I first heard Clannad courtesy of U2 in the 80s. Such a beautiful voice. #RIPMoyaBrennan

Wow, what a loss. I was just listening to Clannad and Dead Can Dance this weekend.

I have to make a new Bluesky feed for myself, I missed this post. I love that blue and white combination! Is it comfortable? I always felt good in corsets. Great back support.

I wanted to be Xena, and in my own way, I am a fierce friend and defender (but as a famously reclusive author).

Welcome to Willerby. I think you'll enjoy your stay.

View of spring garden from the porch. Lots of plants poking up in the raised beds, two in ground beds getting a layer of cardboard and grass clippings then tomato cages.

Made dandelion mead, and dried mushrooms, wild onions, and deadnettle for fun today. I expect the peas to start blooming this week.

He looks like the leering man in those "ill matched marriage" paintings from the Renaissance
