This week’s β€œSunday with a cat, a coffee, and a book” photo.

He really is such an affectionate feline.

I’m not sure what transfer they’re using (or have the rights to use).

I have the BluRay, which is an incredible upgrade considering the source material is 16mm film. I highly recommend getting that.

I've been getting back into the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy series after many years, and the most relatable part is how everyday objects like doors and elevators have been imbued with artificial intelligence and it just makes them obnoxious and frustrating to use and everyone hates it.

Edge of Darkness is on BBC Four and BBC iPlayer (marking its 40th anniversary). One of the most bleak, gripping dramas ever. I adore it.

It’s a total masterpiece.

I must confess, I had a moment this morning of thinking, β€œhow can it be Saturday again, already?!”

(The weeks are flying by, aren’t they?)

Don’t you hate it when someone starts reading over your shoulder?

Sunday with a cat, a coffee, and a book.

The last #Caturday EggDay for Merlin of Oct β€˜25.

Some loud purring action from him. And noisy chomps from Maj.

This weeks’s β€œSunday, with a cat, a coffee, and a book” pic.

Currently reading β€œThe Masquerades of Spring”, which is fab. (A Rivers of London Novella from @benaaronovitch.bsky.social).

The 3rd #Caturday EggDay of October 2025, and Merlin is more awake and vocal than last week.

Time for the 2nd #caturday EggDay for Merlin of October β€˜25.

And it’s β€œlater than advertised in some listings.”

I couldn’t collect the eggs until after 3pm… which is Merlin’s nap time.

So, this is probably the quietest - and laziest - you’ll ever see him.

I should say, the rewatch was @neilsleat.bsky.social β€˜s idea. And a good one, too.

β€œNine Bodies in a Mexican Morgue” put me in mind of β€œAnd Then There Were None”. So I’ve started a rewatch of the @phelpsiesarah.bsky.social adaptation, which is fabulous.

A wonderful cast and really atmospheric direction from Craig Viveiros.

Watch it on BBCiPlayer

This week’s ’Sunday with a cat, a coffee, and a book’ once again only features the cat. Asleep on my lap. Dreaming, I presume.

I’ve been very slow with my reading, of late (life has been getting in the way, a bit). So I’ve only just finished this lovely heart-warming book from Sharon Gosling - the perfect antidote to grim news days.

Storm Amy, yesterday. Decidedly unsettled weather, today. But nothing gets in the way of a #caturday EggDay for Merlin.

(And, yeah. No bread, today. I couldn’t bake yesterday due to the power being off).
