Black and white tuxedo cat

Claude has his head in the fridge every time it opens! What a boy.

Beautiful Mabel! How lovely.

Thank you! You can’t see it in the photo but Betsy has black markings across her eyes like a mask. She looks like Zorro!

Withdrawn from my English Research PhD. A very difficult decision but right for me and my physical/mental health. Maybe one day I’ll return.

Meet Claude and Betsy, my beautiful pair of rescue siblings. Quite old (like me)! Absolutely smitten.

Really enjoyed Man on the Run this evening at Salisbury’s Everyman. Poignant, funny, thoughtful and visually striking.

Wouldn’t pass the criteria but Ralph Fiennes’ crisp white shirt gets destroyed in The English Patient.

A poster that reads: you can’t spell hatred without red hat accompanied by a drawing of a red hat

Everything is awful but the creativity behind some of these handmade posters gives me a glimmer of hope in humanity.

Goodbye beautiful boy. You have left a grey coloured hole in my heart. Sleep well next door neighbour’s cat. My lovely friend.

Trespasses review – an intoxicating, rousing and heartbreaking love story This adaptation of Louise Kennedy’s masterly novel, set in 70s Belfast, sees a Catholic teacher drawn into a dangerous affair with a Protestant barrister. It really hits a nerve

Next door neighbour’s cat. I’ve officially been designated his Aunty!

I’m so sorry Jane for the loss of the wonderful Iggy. He was a truly special cat x

Godspeed to Danny Thompson. He added so much grace, beauty and guile to so many outstanding pieces of music (you could live a pretty nourishing musical life listening solely to the records he contributed to.) And an unfailingly entertaining and soulful conversationalist. One of the greats 💛

I watched Out Of Africa during a formative year in high school and his character challenged my notions of manhood. Like, you can be a badass lone wolf outdoorsman *and* help a woman with her hair while reciting Coleridge? Blew my adolescent mind. RIP Robert Redford.

Norfolk- you were lovely. Thank you 🙏

Hi Nick- tried to reply to you about PhD but wouldn’t send. Sorry been away in Norfolk on holiday! Well done for your submission 👏

Thank you 💕
