I may be the 7 millionth person to share this but it really hits home as I stare at a screen all day analysing data for my day job then stare at a screen all evening and all weekend as I write my books. But we’re dancing animals. You know, we love to move around… #kurtvonnegut #BookSky #envelope

A very happy "gotcha" day to Charlie, who came into our lives four years ago today. She is a delightful menace and we're glad she's part of the family. Also, she wants to know if you are going to eat that.
