I’m still reeling from losing #LutherTheCat at Christmas, but have missed making up complicated food mixes, having black hair in everything, and being woken up at stupid o’clock. So, please welcome #SpencerAndDennis. Two bonded rescue brothers who have been with us a few weeks now.

Two black cats, looking just a little like the Kray twins! Two black cats curled up on a fleece blanket. Two black cats curled up together in a yin and yang pose. Probably should have got a black one and a white one really ...

That lamp looks PISSED.
A black and white cat in a surgical collar stands on its hind legs. An electrical cord runs behind them, ending in an outlet on the wall.

One of the first picutres to use now-routine techniques like surface shaders, the 'Road to Point Reyes' (1983) took a team of Lucasfilms engineers an entire month to render.
A scene of a road facing away from the viewer, viewing a bay that shows Point Reyes. The road is rained over; puddles reflect the wrought iron fence and the fractal bushes, while grass is blooming to either side of the road; translucent rainbows guide the viewer's eye to the distant landscape. A sheer cliff blocks line of sight to the left.

Confirmed. Floofy, vacant idiot on left, the one that got the brain cell and works out how to open cupboards, food bags and everything else on the right.

Love looking through old hard drive backups! Just found the scans I took of the original deposit receipt for the Morris. Not sure what I've done with the originals 😳, but glad to have at least found these again!
