Mitzy and Teddy, our latest fosters, have moved to their forever home today. Two sweet, very well behaved, chatty cats. That is one lucky household!They are the 13th and 14th cats we've fostered.

We have found a home for our current fosters, Mitzy and Teddy! This was a very difficult case, but they are doing well, social, chatty, healthy, with opinions.

New @mikecarey.bsky.social book! I am going to savour this one, as a big hardback tome is not commutable, but that way it lasts longer!

Book. The Tinder Box by MR Carey. Gold lettering,black brambles, deep blue background, a jewellery box on fire, a castle inside, a potion bottle with red liquid,manacles, a candle.....

I attended the NPG Marilyn exhibition and it was so easy to tell the hardcore fans from the casuals! Some of us were spending ages with the rare items, while others were taking photos of images that are readily available online and in lots of Marilyn books( I know coz I have the books)

Starting this long overdue re-read. It seems only right to do it with a copy that looks like a runaway teen forgot it at a creepy bus station. This book changed my perspective of writing and of the world. Possibly my first queer read...?

Book. Lost Souls by Poppy Z Brite. Green and black cover, a teen boy looks at you with intensity

My latest find.Zola's first English edition,translated and published by Vizetelly &co 1885. Mr Vizetelly was jailed for indecency after not censoring Zola's The Earth enough,which killed the company. It still retains a lot of gold.

Blue, red and gold cover of Zola's Piping Hot, a realist novel. Curlicued lettering, an illustration of a fainting lady attended by 3 others

First page, credits. Illustrations are from Georges Bellenger's engravings. Other realist novels by Zola published by V&co are Nana and The Assommoir, unabridged. Next, they'll publish The Rush for the Spoil. This is 1885.

Illustration, party scene. A man pinches a waitress carrying a tray of drinks( nothing changes, uh?)

Book: Marilyn and her Books, by Gail Crowther. On the cover, a black and white photo of Marilyn Monroe on a bed, reading a book.She is barefoot, wearing a loose robe.The book is The Poetry and Prose of Heinrich Heine.

This stocktake has been prompted by my visit to the Schiaparelli exhibition. OMG those bottles

Schiaparelli vintage perfume. Bottle design by Salvador Dali. The bottle is a sad faced golden sun and the box is a golden shell.

I've a new yokai book, and I wonder if this is the inspiration for the Mum in The Grudge(forever in my nightmares)

Here you see what's left of the massive Pantechnikon in Belgravia that I read about in Thackeray's Vanity Fair. Only the facade, the rest of the block is newer. Now it's full of trendy cafes and restaurants

Cream coloured façade, a 2 story Neo classical entrance , with columns and a friso, like a Greek temple

I think JELLYCAT might have peaked on the " anything can be a softy" front. This is a soft toy peeble
