Birthday haul so far... I have more vouchers to spend!
1. Brain scan results have come back - no change, and it's stable.
2. Following on from #1, I don't have to have another scan for another 2 years.
3. Jaffa has sat on my lap several times (he's only just becoming a lap cat!)
4. I've had an email from the diabetes team saying that I can finally get a sensor fitted to track my blood sugars better.
5. I've finally managed to get some #litsylove out!

First, they saw a lobster pushing Mesolithic worked-stone tools out of its burrow - 'the first known Mesolithic archaeological excavation carried out by a member of the lobster community', as the Isle of Wight's county archaeologist David Tomalin put it wryly in the report he wrote up later.

Here are my 4 nominations for #camplitsy24 @Megabooks @BarbaraBB @squirrelbrain
(The Last Boat Home is really local to me, so I may be slightly biased in nominating this one!)

"In eighteenth-century North America, Benjamin Franklin - who owned a firm that printed money for the colonies - hit on the idea of misspelling Pennsylvania on official currency on the grounds that forgers would spell it correctly and the notes could easily be spotted as counterfeit, but that only went so far."
That's all the #naturalitsycardswapspring written! @AllDebooks @Chrissyreadit @TheBookHippie
Spring-y enough?!
Do you think this is spring-y enough?! 🤣🤣🤣 #naturalitsyspringeequinox @TheBookHippie @AllDebooks @Chrissyreadit
Spending the day writing #naturalitsyspringequinox cards. Already had to rewrite one as I forgot to enclose the poem 🤦🏻♀️
@TheBookHippie @AllDebooks @Chrissyreadit
The best book for February is Some People Need Killing by Patricia Evangelista, but Matrix is using a bonus space, as it was very close between them.

#roll100 @PuddleJumper
Decided to just post the book I hope to get to this month.
It's not the tagged book, but it's edited by the same author.

@BarbaraBB , you're probably not that interested, but here are the prompts I've completed for #aty24 so far! I've tagged the book you can't see the title of.

Audiobook narrated by Nina Wadia. She's better at narrating fiction books!
