I like books and cats. My profile picture is actually a photograph of my great grandmother.

An elderly orange cat sits up on a bed as he looks down next to the book next to him. The books is titled “The Game of Hearts” (by Natania Barron)
A book, The Game of Hearts, by Natania Barron, next to a white mug filled with milky tea. Both are on the wooden seat of a bench swing, with some blurred green plants or weeds hiding in the background.
In the foreground, a hardbound copy of the book Dracula with a red and black design is standing up on a stone wall next to a glass of pink wine. In the background past a road and another stone wall are the ruins of Whitby Abbey.
A glass of white wine on a wooden table next to an open notebook with some penciled scribbling writing. In the background are the ruins of an 11th century abbey against a pale blue sky with wispy clouds.
A white plate with a bun with white icing, a mug milky tea, and a kindle scribe, switched off showing a screen with daisies, and a bookmark with the Egyptian hieroglyphs alphabet.
Three levels of bookshelves, with books positioned to have the fore-edge facing outwards. The books are attached to the shelves with long chains that hang in front.
A box of Crunchy Nut corn flakes. The box is a honey-yellow color with the red Kelloggs logo scripted across the top. Next are the words “crunchy nut.” Below is a picture of a bowl of cornflakes beneath a honey dipper. In the bottom right there is some offer about a prize that I have barely looked at but it seems sports related.
A grey and white cat looks at the camera. One might read into her expression that she has no regrets and would do it again, if she wasn’t so sleepy.
