Unexpected item in the Carcassone game area. As for Molly, the drugs do work - she's moving nearly normally, although slightly gingerly. But thereagain, everything she ever does is gingery... *gets coat*

Wedding anniversary, but we're staying in this evening 'cos Molly. Instead we're playing Carcasonne - and just had a hydration break 😎

Today happens to be Mrs Rox's and my wedding anniversary*, but all I've done since 9.00am is sit up the end of the garden next to Molly who has decided that the best cure for her injuries is to curl up in the herb patch. Anyway, she's booked in for the vet at 4.00pm. *22nd, since you asked, ta.

Bad news. Molly had a lovely day until @ 7.00pm when we heard a loud catty squalling. Ran out, she was being attacked by a b&w cat down the side passage. Got her in straight away but tho' she calmed down & seemed ok, she was limping & weeping from one eye & now she's retired to under a bed 🐈☹️

Three years ago, at about this hour, our previously relatively quiet & stress-free lives took a rather wonderful new turn as a small furry, ginger person called Molly arrived home for the first time & rather nervously surveyed her new surroundings. Nothing has ever been quite the same since ...🐈

Cheese is generally not great for cats in any sizeable quantity. Cats do not know this & Molly particularly can smell within seconds when a decent cheese (e.g. Sparkenhoe Red Leicester) has entered the room. She gets the tiniest morsel & that seems to keep her happy enough.
Molly the Ginger Cat immediately aware that good cheese is nearby.

Admittedly there are potential risks in the rapid development of Dalek tech: extermination, loss of civilisation, possible destruction of all human life. But we must consider potential benefits in productivity, medicine, scientific discovery. And even if we DO slow down, other countries might not...

Great performance from West Ham tonight. Amongst many good things to note, there were 6 different scorers (probably not a unique statistic), but they were an Englishman, a Dutchman, a Greek, an Argentinian, a Frenchman & an Israeli. Now that surely has to be a first for anywhere in world football?

Woohoo. The words "frantic", "hectic", "chaotic" and "fucking mad non-stop end-to-end stuff" are all very apt, and Bolton very much played their part in making that a cracking match.

I'm watching Bruce & The E-Street Band's London Calling show from Hyde Park in 2010. The sheer energy from Bruce & the whole band right from the off is astonishing. At the time he was 8 months younger than I am now - & they're* still going very strong. Rage, rage against the dying of the light...

It is a truth universally acknowledged that wherever you sit in a football stadium & however well your team is doing, close by there will be some utter dick with a very loud voice complaining about everything. If I had a s/t where we sat today that dickhead would ruin every match 😡 But anyway ⚽️☀️😎
