Good news is we all survived another trip to the vet for an annual check-up. Bad news is that this guy needs more dental work.

Such a beautiful time of year in suburban South London: I step outside my dear and hear a blackcap singing -- the nightingale of the north -- and even (with the wind in the right direction) the contact calls of a pair of nesting peregrine falcons. The small stuff helps me deal with the big stuff.

George is bewildered as we repeatedly sing the words "Why's. My. Cat. So. Stinkeee-ee-ee-ee" to the tune of the UK Eurovision entry. Who knew we would sing so many songs to him?
