Kitty's A-Coming

Just making a few final preparations for the arrival of "Uncle Bob" or "Da Bobster" (undecided) who we picked out at the cat shelter on Saturday. He's a cheeky, friendly looking black-and-white chap whose previous owner had to go into a residential home. Labelled as being "from East London" we are going to take him back to his spiritual home.

Also went to see "Atonement" this weekend. Keira Knightly and James McAvoy in a tale of thwarted love in 1930s England, all clipped tones and pained looks - an absolute tear-jerker. Even if you can't bear going to watch the film (note the top marks in every film review I've read so far despite the scornful dismissal by Shaggy and Didcot) read the book by Ian McEwen, which is superb. I read the book first and still thoroughly enjoyed (in a crying sort of fashion) the film. McAvoy (particularly in the incredible war scenes) just breaks your heart. What a face... I feel a McAvoy night coming on!
