Boring post alert. In the RAF it was a term used to differentiate from other types (Sick Leave, Holiday Leave, and the deadly-sounding Terminal Leave.) Sorry.

We had to say goodbye to George (of the well-known partnership of George and Gracie) on Friday. A smooth operator who was usually content to watch his sister get in trouble, and whose perfect evening was watching Dancing With The Stars (no, really) with the whole family. We will miss him terribly.

Buddy Guy at the Freeman in Selbyville last night. Great show. Hard to believe he’ll be 89 in a couple of weeks.

Just seen this, Steve. No clever words. We’re so sorry. I know you all gave Syd the best life she could possibly have hoped for.

This afternoon’s backyard visitor. He hung around for a few minutes, then went fishing for lunch in the creek. As you can see, I don’t think he caught anything.

A grey squirrel laying across the back of a patio chair.

I’m guessing that the squirrels are happy that it’s warming up outside.

There’s probably room for it next to ‘raise up’ and ‘lower down.’

Mel Brooks and Anne Bancroft at the British premiere of “High Anxiety.”

I wonder if Mel would sell you his copy.

This morning’s backyard visitor.

“We’ve got some half price cracked ice and miles and miles of carpet tiles…”

A seagull flying over the Atlantic coast.

Early morning on the beach in the fall is good for the soul.

A photograph of a woman and her granddaughter, both formally dressed in a studio setting.

Happy St. Andrew’s Day to Scots at home and abroad. It’s also the 164th birthday of my great grandmother Marion, seen here in an Edinburgh studio with one of her grandchildren. I’m guessing that her perfect posture is mostly due to having to keep that hat upright.

Two cats lying on a blanket, looking back at the camera.

Wait - you woke us up to tell us that today is a holiday and we don’t have to get up early?

Two cats lying on a pale blue bedspread.

How to produce two cats out of thin air: first, find a bar of sunlight…

Good morning. Did I hear mention of breakfast?

George and Gracie wondering what to do with Saturday morning now that Blackburn v Pompey has been called off.

George’s thousand yard stare.

A black cat looking at the camera with her tongue out.

How Gracie feels about Wednesdays.

Hummingbird feeders are put away for the winter, but here’s a reminder of warmer days.

Have you read his autobiography? Talks about growing up in Pompey quite a lot.

Non fiction books.

George (bottom) and Gracie (top.)

Apparently pictures of bookshelves and pets are a thing. Here’s mine. I managed to organize the cats a little better than the books.

Been auditioning this week and it’s brought back many theatre memories. This is among my favorites. “Wild Guys” at the Ottawa Little Theatre in 2004. Probably the most fun I’ve ever had on stage.

My grandmother (Veda Le Court) is near the bottom of the bill here, but it must have been worth 9d for the headliner alone.
