Jun. 16th, 2019 09:37 pmI recorded the 4th season of 'Sherlock' when it was on Alibi before Christmas (in retrospect, we must have seen the first of the three episodes when it was originally shown) and we finally got round to watching them this week.
Thought it was crap.

The cats were pruned last week, and look small, long-legged, and really cute, with their neat little trimmed bottoms and tidy tummies. They still have magnificent tails. This helps to distinguish them from the interloper cats, one of which sits outside and miaus for about an hour at night.
Sable's progress on the cat flap has been gratifying. She was lured into using it to go out with cunning application of Tasty Sticks, and has now got used to it.
We have now semi-lowered the flap, while cats are outside, so that to get in, they get the flap on their heads briefly. Sable is not impressed with this. I've lured her through once—we are getting through Tasty Sticks at a great rate—but she is now sitting stubbornly outside refusing to try it without a bribe. Beast is trying, right now, to lure her in with a Dreamie. Ah, I detect success!

We went to someone's 80th birthday party on Friday. On the way, Beast and I had the same thought: what do grown-ups do, for parties? Well, it turned out that they have tables and a bar and people sit and chat and then eat and then possibly dance (we danced) and then sing barbershop (this may be less usual). So that was all right.

Last night we had a concert in aid of a local children's hospice project. My chorus was the main focus, but there was a choir of junior school children, and the mixed chorus were also invited, ie we dragged a bunch of the guys along to sing two songs. But it went very well, audience most enthusiastic, and the *s m i l e* on the face of the little girl who won first prize in the raffle was a sight to behold. (It was a giant hamper of chocolate. I would have had a comparable smile, but the hamper would not have been almost as big as me.)

We finished the salted caramel brownies on Thursday. They were *really* good.
