I'll pass it on when he resurfaces - he disappeared after breakfast to sleep through the day, ready to terrorise under cover of darkness 😼

Sounds good to me. Especially as I have a bundle of cinema tickets to use up so it's either this or Tron: Arse.

Got one! Nice tactile paperback of What Comes to Light, a @trashcatlit.bsky.social charity anthology with a story by me and 26 better ones by other writers. But how many of them have taken photos with cats in? Get a copy! All proceeds to the Wildlife Trusts! Save a stoat! mybook.to/WhatComesToL...

Two photos of an anthology titled What Comes to Light, one showing the front cover with Arsehole the imperious tabby cat looming behind it, and another one with Oscar the elderly ginger cat pretending to be interested in a story called Threequarter Lane

And they couldn't be arsed headswapping a Teela to make an unconvincing Sandra Bullock? Savage.

Spent so much actual pocket change on Magician Lord, and still never got past that frog-filled nonsense-fest, the Anderground Passage of Terror.

GNU Jilly Cooper. Jilly and dad were friends and the only person I’ve known to call him ‘Tel’. Hope they’re both having a big drink somewhere.
