My New Friends
The friend of a friend died about 2 years ago, leaving a pair of cockatiels and a pair of conures in my friend's care.

And maybe I'll be able to get the house at least moderately visitable ( Read more... ) -

A very short book review, sort of
I just finished reading The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society, a book that has been on my "to read" list for quite some time. All I can say is that this is the book that my partially written and oft-scrapped-and-restarted novel wants to be when it grows up ( Read more... ) -
