    Ms. Magazine Cover - The Dinocorn Life - Why I Want a Girlfriend

    At the tender age of 16, without even realising it, I was given my first taste of powerful feminist satire.

    Sorting out my office in our forever home and FINA Sorting out my office in our forever home and FINALLY got to unwrap this beautiful skull mask that I got when we were on honeymoon in Mexico in 2015 during DΓ­a de Muertos! πŸ’€πŸ’š

It was always earmarked for display in my office (didn't realise it would be 5 years later when it finally found it's place πŸ™ˆ) but I am SO happy I bought it.

Made by a lovely artist in Mexico City called Fernando Flores, @mexicocityartists

Not to brag but my office is going to be so damn pretty when it's finished (complete with cat climbing wall tooπŸˆπŸˆβ€β¬›πŸˆβ€β¬›πŸˆβ€β¬›)

    So, we went to see some kittens at @animalsinneedu So, we went to see some kittens at @animalsinneeduk last weekend and completely fell in love with who we thought was the baby girl (top left) and playful baby boy (top right)....

When we went to collect them on Saturday, it turned out that baby girl was actually mum (still only 18 months old) and while we were so happy to have two gorgeous black kittens we couldn't stop thinking about mum... So on Sunday morning she came home with us too! 

Allow me to introduce you to Frida (mum), Colin (baby boy) and Maya (baby girl) πŸˆβ€β¬›πŸˆβ€β¬›πŸˆβ€β¬›

We're now a 4 cat household, we officially have a clowder!! πŸˆπŸˆβ€β¬›πŸˆβ€β¬›πŸˆβ€β¬› 

Harley is taking it pretty well so far, the new additions will stay in their own room for the first few weeks and we'll do intros slowly. She's had a good sniff of their basket and has spent most of the weekend sunning herself on our new rug 🐈🌞
