Screenshot of pokemon go. The human is wearing a weird pink clothing ensemble that is weird because it is not what it is supposed to be and might be a bug.

This chair was supposed to be my reading chair. It is no longer my chair. A different queen sits upon it.

Sleeping dog. On chair. Queen Gwenivere.
