Kris Marshall, smiling and looking slightly creepy in the Bar Scene from the movie "Love Actually".

Close shot of a cat sitting on the floor: he's short-haired, black all over, with a tuft of white on his chest. His eyes are pale green, and his pupils are half-dilated. He's trying to convince me he's not eaten for weeks. Photo taken 5 minutes before his lunchtime... He's ridiculously cute.

Front Cover of Space Family Stone by Robert A. Heinlein (1952, 1985 NEL Books) Cover design show Title and Author. Full-cover illustration is a painting of a moon-like surface, deeply pitted and cratered, with strong shadows cast across the terrain. In the foreground, zooming towards us is a rocket-ship, a traditional, cylindrical, cigar-tube shape, metallic silver, with fin rockets at the back, fiery jets trailing behind. At the rounded front end is a round window. They're looking the future in the eye... The book is 40 years old, and in great condition for one that's been read so many times. It smells like all great old books - full of history and adventure!
Front cover: A Spell For Chameleon by Piers Anthony (1977, 1985 Orbit) Cover: light green background, with text and an illustration. Text reads: In XANTH, magic was the rule – alas, poor Bink was the exception! Piers Anthony A Spell For Chameleon "Best Novel of the Year" - British Fantasy Society Illustration: The background shows a castle wall, with an archway with a tall metal gate barring the way. Facing away from us, a white man with short blonde hair stands in blue, yellow, and green top and shorts, bare legs, and green knee-high boots. He looks like a ren-fair courtier. He has one hand on his hip, the other lifted, palm up, as though expounding on something interesting. He is talking to a Manticore. Facing the man, face towards us, he Manticore is a red-hued fantasy creature - a cross between a lion's body, a scorpion's tail, dragon's wings, and a goblin's face. It's half-again taller than the man, and doesn't look particularly impressed.
A boxed set of three books from the Dragonriders of Pern series by Anne McCaffrey: Dragonflight; Dragonquest; The White Dragon - with a cardboard slipcase.
Back cover of a used but good condition paperback: The Ship Who Sang by Anne McCaffrey (1971, 1984 Corgi Books). It smells in the best way possible, like old books do - of gently yellowing paper, of promised adventures, and of love. Back cover shows a short blurb, a list of other books by the author, and an information box with recommended prices, ISBN, and a Barcode. The full-cover illustration (artist unknown) shows an alien landscape of blue crystaline growths, massive and sparkling with pinkish highlights. The sky is green, with sparse clouds in the distance. Pure fantasy. Very lovely. Blurb reads: The brain was perfect, the tiny, crippled body useless. So technology rescued the brain and put it in an environment that conditioned it to live in a different kind of body – a spaceship. Here the human mind, more subtle, infinitely more complex than any computer ever devised, could be linked to the massive and delicate strengths, the total recall, and the incredible speeds of space. But the brain behind the ship eas entirely feminine – a complex, loving, strong, weak, gentle savage – a personality, all-woman, called Helva . . . (Fortunately, the book reads far better than the blurb!)

Used but good condition paperback cover: The Ship Who Sang by Anne McCaffrey (1971, 1984 Corgi Books). It smells in the best way possible, like old books do - of gently yellowing paper, of promised adventures, and of love. Cover shows at the top author, title, and Corgi Books logo. The full-cover illustration (artist unknown) shows an alien landscape of blue crystaline growths, massive and sparkling with pinkish highlights. The sky is green, with sparse clouds in the distance. Centred in the midground is a spaceship. Silvery, with blueish tinges, she floats above the crystals. She has fin-like wings, like a fish, one dorsal, two pelvic, with a bubble-like structure to them, billowy, almost fragile. Three engines, one large centred at the back, one smaller each side attached to the wings. At the front, various antennas and sensors add to an insectoid, fish like appearance. At the very front is a figurehead of a woman, facing directly forward, with breasts shaped underneath. Lights shine towards the ground, and signs of scanning can be seen radiating from devices on the hull. Pure fantasy. Incredibly impractical. Very lovely.
A tatty paperback cover of: A Wizard of Earthsea by Ursula K. Le Guin (1968, Puffin Books 1983) Cover illustration by David Smee. Cover shows title, author, and a decorative scrollwork forming a border around an illustration. The illustration shows what appears to be a castle interior, dark stonework for the walls and floor, a purple curtain hangs on the midground wall. Three figures are shown full body. The figure in the midground is drawing back the curtain, revealing himself and a passageway beyond. A neutral, considered expression on his face, he looks at the second figure. The second figure, in the foreground, seemingly has cast a spell, transforming his upper body into the torso, wings, and head of a bird of prey, in human proportion, his wings impressively pointed towards the ceiling. Colourful sparks surround him. A large black raven-like bird sits at his feet. The third figure, in the foreground, is taken aback, his express startled, his hands raised defensively, he backs away from the transformed man.
Cover of the John C. Wells English-Esperanto-English Dictionary, paperback (2010). The cover is curled up at the corners, the plastic is delaminating, this well-loved, well-used book has seen better days.
Cover of "I Will Fear No Evil" by Robert Heinlein (1970). The cover shows a close-up of a skull, with some sort of yellow curly material around it (perhaps a wig) and a strange white putty-like substance coming from the corners of the mouth. I never did get what was going on with the design, beyond skull=death.

Malantaŭa korto ĉe mi. Profunda neĝo kovras ĉion, ĉirkaŭ 20 centimetrojn da, sed la suno brilas bele kaj hele.
Esperanto unue, la angla sube Esperanto first, English below Priskribo: Vortnubo el la vortoj de miaj afiŝoj sur Bluĉielo - la plimulto estas esperantaj vortoj, la plej grandaj el kiuj estas: jam, jen, mia, da, oni, sed, kaj, kaj esperanto. Description: A word-cloud from the words of my posts on Bluesky - the majority are Esperanto words, the largest of which are: jam, jen, mia, da, oni, sed, kaj, and esperanto.
Vintra arbaro. La arboj, Betoj, mi kredas, estas nudaj aparte de tavolo de neĝo sur la branĉoj. La ĉielo estas blanka pro nuboj, kaj neĝo kovras la teron. Sekaj herboj staras el la neĝo inter la arboj. A wintery forest. The trees, Beech, I think, are bare except for a layer of snow on the branches. The sky is white with clouds, and snow covers the ground. Dry grasses stick out of the snow between the trees.
Paperback copy of the 2010 edition of John Wells' English - Esperanto - English dictionary, lying on a Red, Blue, and Cream Persian rug. The cover shows signs of wear and tear, the corners are curled up, the plastic coating separating from the cover. It's been well-thumbed over the years. It's not me, it's the book. My other books don't look like this. Blame Mondial and their cheapness!

Album cover: White Ladder by David Gray (1998) - I highly recommend it. From Wikipedia: White Ladder is the fourth studio album by English singer-songwriter David Gray. It was first released in November 1998 through Gray's own record label, IHT Records, but failed to chart. On 24 April 2000, the album was re-released by Dave Matthews' label ATO Records and debuted at number 69 on the UK Albums Chart, before climbing to number one on 5 August 2001, more than a year later. White Ladder produced five singles, including the hit "Babylon", which ignited interest in the album and shot Gray to worldwide fame. Other singles released from the album were "This Year's Love", "Please Forgive Me", "Sail Away", and "Say Hello, Wave Goodbye".
