Forget-me-not in Bulgarian is Nezabravka. I’m not sure how the plant got the same name in very different languages but here we are:
Nezabravka
Lilly
This thing exists in my neighbourhood, covered with concrete and asphalt, and besieged by cars. It’s a shy White Lilly, according to my Picture This app. ❤️
May in Books
I read 11 books last month, 9 recognized by Goodreads and 2 – not. Goodreads has clear issues with the Librarians not catching up with new books.
The tied first for the last month was between Thraxas at War by Martin Scott and All Systems Red by Martha Wells. Thraxas was a mature story with a good balance. The Murderbot #1 was fresh and new.
Honorable mention for Rebecca Yarros and Fourth Wing – it’s engaging and has dragons.
The worst book from last month was Rocannon’s World by Ursula Le Guin. She inspired me greatly in building my own system of values, for example about active listening. However, Rocannon focuses on describing a fantasy world with multiple coexisting aliens and spaceships. It wasn’t as cool as Stephanie Plum, page-turning like the Fourth Wing, or just great all-around like Thraxas and Murderbot.
I also completed 2 game books, one so absurd that it deserves a separate post.
Tea Time
I spent years of my life in a place called the City of Lindens. I love it when it smells like tea.
How do you know when it’s time to unplug? What do you do to make it happen?

How do you know when it’s time to unplug? What do you do to make it happen?
10pm is reading time. The computer has to go off. Saturday and Sunday are days with afternoon naps. The inner cat awakes in me and I sleep. This almost makes the week feel 9 days long.
Longer-time unplugs are much harder to organize and vacationing usually fills the day with activities that don’t involve work rather than unplugging.
