Someday I'll properly start my "Cats of Cotillo" portfolio, using a good camera. Not this year though. Here are some holiday cuties anyway.

At least something in this house is happy about this incessant hot weather…

Even your posh tea strainer seems to be giving you a cheeky, British "Hmmmm..." for that comment. 🧐

The reluctant model is mostly black, with a little patch of very dark brown that no-one ever notices.
Black cat sat in a cardboard box that has had hundreds of bites, taken (and spat) out of it, by said occupant.  Classy puss.

She's a cutie. Just be careful what she might do to you if she gets hold of a stick.
Star Wars Ewok character with pointy stick. He's cute and furry, but don't get on his bad side. Ouch!

Of course, future Cordelia Cupp adventures are cancelled by Netflix, because they cancel ALMOST EVERYTHING that I enjoy. Do give The Residence a go, if you haven't already.

What's a poster you had up in your room growing up?
A poster from Erasure's Wild Tour, featuring a very pale, innocent-looking Andy Bell and Vince Clark in an autumnal scene with a lilac background.  They are both dressed in thick brown shirts and are surrounded by thin, dark branches and red and gold leaves.

We had the Amstrad version. I've still got my original badge, which I think came as an extra we had to send off for that included a map.

Nooooo! I was really sad that this happened. The sculpture made me happy every time I walked past it. Someone even gave him a tinsel scarf at Christmas, which was when I took this photo. I really hope he can be reinstated as it was a lovely thing to have here.

My favourite phishing e-mail, if there can be such a thing, was from "You have been haked". I didn't open it, but it did make me laugh.

I think I might be one of the last people of my age group to have watched Phoenix Nights, but thanks to a 50p find in a charity shop, I've now seen the whole of the first series. This show should definitely be repeated on mainstream TV every year. Now to find series two on the cheap.
A screenshot from the show "Phoenix Nights", showing the manager of the Phoenix Nights club. Around the character are the words saying, "I know a pissed horse when I see one. Get it a kebab." which were memorable lines from one of the episodes.

I'd be having feelings of being trapped in a place if I felt I couldn't easily travel (which was how Brexit left me feeling). At least you're a family with plenty of options. And though you think your voice is tiny, it is powerful.

OMG, I actually won a prize on the Octopus Energy Wheel of Fortune. I honestly thought £0 was the only figure anyone ever got. Maybe it's the start of winning streak.
Image shows text indicating that I won £1 off my energy bill this month. It also suggests I may have thought no-one ever won this and that I should spread the word that it is winnable.

That is quite sad for them. Anyway, this is prime real estate! Close to auction house, flight master and if they reinstate useful portals at the Mystic Ward, could be a major hub again. It'll never happen and this once vibrant place will continue to be as dead to the world as Moria. Booo.

If you see this, post a GIF of your favourite Doctor.

There's a fun little store in Newbury where the owner himself makes very unique art. I know most of you don't live around here, but do take a moment to check out his website. His prices seem pretty reasonable and he also takes commissions if you want something memorable made up. timfurr.co.uk

If you see this, post a photo you made of a sunset.

Huge thumbs up for Stranger Things:The First Shadow which I saw last night. Standout performances from Louis McCartney (Henry), Isabella Pappas (Joyce) and Christopher Buckley (Bob). Ella Karuna Williams playing new character Patty, also. Laughs, jumps and pretty good special effects. Well done all.
