(Him messing with the tarp hasn’t deterred the cats. Moments ago the two adults entered the yard like a pair of gunslingers, looking for me in the window.)

I haven't seen the kittens in a few days, but mother didn't seem worried. As I suspected they're next door, where they were born, in the dense little landscaped bit at the back of the yard. It's fenced, so I think mum ordered them there now they're mobile & curious.

Seeing TRAINSPOTTING in the cinema later. First time since it came out. Never fail to think of Bowie loving SHALLOW GRAVE, calling Danny Boyle...
- How can I help?
- Well I'm working on this thing, it needs a lot of music, and we want to use Iggy and Lou, but we can't afford it..
