Stripy, spotty sibling serenity (not right now though, they're shrieking the flat down and tearing up the sofa).

Fascinating little tour of my neighbourhood, including the tremendous Tin Tabernacle, Orwell and my local pub, HG Wells, AA Milne, Highlander, the Kilburn State - and our flat even features in the background at one point: www.youtube.com/watch?v=NkGU...

Apparently, it was Nov 1991 for their Quality Street tour, which checks out. I can vividly see MC Shells surrounded by multicoloured paper jellyfish doing her thing at the side of the stage as Tony Ogden (RIP) did his mesmeric frontman thing. What a band. Sons of The Stage is one of my faves EVER.

It's v windy and rainy here right now, and I have a bit of phobia of this kind of weather these days. BUT upside - this is on my morning IJ. God, I bloody loved this lot - lucky enough to see them live at the Norwich Waterfront bitd and they blew my mind: www.youtube.com/watch?v=HTOu...

She can be angelic when she wants to be…

A five month old rescue black ghost tabby called Shirley sat on a white windowsill, looking upwards through a white muslin net curtain draped window with big amber eyes, looking really innocent even though she is so naughty

She's even more gorgeous in the flesh too, absolute stunner and TINY (and you can tell she's just a gorgeous soul too)

Oh, he was! You should have heard the caterwauling. He got properly beaten up, my partner had to go out and break it up.

There’s currently a feline face-off in our garden between our step cat Ozzy and a huge ginger tom - Warren is getting an education with a front row seat…

We’ve taught Warren to fetch. He absolutely loves it and is obsessed with rolled up paper balls - he drops them at out feet now when he wants to play.
