Up, fully charged...


Getting this up to date - I think that's what I was doing...


Down for a coffee - the cats were awake...




Nico was helping me with whatever it was I was doing...


Then...


...he decided...


...to...



...choose a record...


...probably "Love Cats"...


Later, Mia was just sitting on the stairs - as cats do...


...and then, the window ledge...


...while Nico found a spot he liked...


We decided to leave them to it and took a walk down the hill....


Nothing much was open - took a walk through the churchyard in search of a decent coffee shop...



...it was shut though - so we walked back to the main street and found another, deciding on lunch...


Back home and Anne popped for some shopping so I started on the final podcast of 2021, my top 25 LPs of the year...

Nico jumped onto the laptop and then up onto the speaker, which rocked precariously...


Thankfully, no damage done...

They look so innocent...


...but the massive Xmas Tree had to be put away...


We watched "Don't Look Up" which we both found to be good, if a little depressing, due to its fairly accurate impression of the current state of populist politics that seems to be pervading the planet...


Then, a very enjoyable "All Creatures Great and Small Xmas Special" - which we'd seen being filmed while in Yorkshire in the summer...


The cats settled again...


...as we scored 160 at "University Challenge" - which maintained our average over these easier Xmas episodes at exactly that score...

I finished off the podcast and loaded it up...

Next project is to write up the notes for Friday's final CBQ release of the year...

Back downstairs where the cats were, again, settled...


Look at these wee faces...



Sleepy peepy...


To bed at 11...

Highlight of the Day : Final podcast of the year done...
