The view from the office this morning...

Cats...

...on their last day with us...

The view from the office this morning II...

Nico was his usual mischievous self...

...while I enjoyed some Miles Davis - a download of the never officially released "Black Album"...

...but only after having discovered, totally by chance re shuffleplay, that I like Cassandra Wilson - it seems, on certain occasions, there is indeed a place for vocals in jazz...

Both cats were enjoying their last day...

I forgot to mention yesterday's new boots...

Comfy...

For goodness' sake Nico!

What the...

Anne has finished her project...

Soon to be framed...

This afternoon out for a meal at Cote for Anne's mum's birthday, which will be on Tuesday...

This nearby building was given a thumbs up by your correspondent...

...as was the food - I opted for ham and melon as a starter, Anne went for the goats' cheese...

Kitty opted for calamari, as did Olly, while Jane and Bob had their own fave of steak tartare...

A steak for me...

Very nice...

...then back to Bob & Jane's...

...where, while he wanted one, Rafa did not get...

...a celebratory cake...

Kitty was posing for the camera...

We headed home and awaited Blair, just back from Berlin, popping over to pick up our visitors...

Mia did not want to leave...

...but, eventually, they were both ready to go...

I closed the day with some music, listening back to the proposed LP...

Meanwhile, some details of Anne's work...

Lights out on the weekend...

Highlight of the Day : Birthday lunch...
