llywela1. Since the weather started to turn, Macavity the Mystery Cat has taken to sleeping in my kitchen.
Yes, I know I shouldn't really let him sleep on the work surface like that, but I don't have the heart to chase him down when he has clearly been chased out of too many houses already and it has taken over a year to get him feeling secure enough not to run away from me as it is. If he feels comfortable enough to take refuge in my kitchen when it is cold and wet but doesn't want to overstep his welcome by venturing further into the house, then so be it. I just want him to feel safe and to know that he will always find a good meal waiting when he chooses to visit.
2. Hooray for the release of Aung San Suu Kyi!
3. Some rather dark and slightly blurry pics of Matt Smith, Karen Gillan and Arthur Darvill switching on the Christmas lights in town last week.
4. A new series of Garrow's Law started last night on the BBC, slotting neatly into the 9pm timeslot vacated by Downton Abbey last week. I find myself rather intrigued to find that full court transcripts from the Old Bailey are available online, covering the period from 1674 right through to 1913 - most of the cases highlighted in Garrow's Law, a legal drama inspired by the life of the pioneering 18th century barrister William Garrow (it was Garrow who introduced the phrase 'innocent until proven guilty'), are based on these transcripts. Some of them make for quite fascinating reading!
