Day 19: indulgence. If you live with cats you have to indulge their world view that any receptacle is potentially (and actually) a cat bed. 📷 #mbmay

May Photoblogging Challenge - Day 1: switch (or switches, mechanical ones) 🤓
🖋New pen day! This is the Gravitas Pocket Pen in copper, with a 1.1 stub nib (my first stub). Just gorgeous. Lovely birthday present from my brother and sister-in-law.
New post: Rest
In which I get a bit philosophical about mistle thrushes and the past two years.
Finished reading: The Man Who Died Twice by Richard Osman 📚. In another author’s hands, a detective series set in a retirement village could be patronising, but his cast of characters are brilliantly complex and surprising.
Finished reading: Atomic Habits by James Clear 📚 I don’t often read what you might call ‘self-help’ books, but this was superb. It made me rethink how I think about time.
New post: Back to BEAKL
In which I explain some recent changes to my keyboard layout, including switching (again!) from QWERTY to BEAKL.
