Spiky

Another wet day, another emergency blip. During a brief bout of sunshine I escorted Mystère into the garden for an initial reconnaissance. He had a good snoop around, mostly focusing on a gigantic woodpile which I expect is full of small rodents. Luckily he'd come back in when the local cats arrived to investigate his presence; he stared out of the window at them, growling softly and no doubt planning his attack strategy . After work I popped out for a quick walk around the village; I like these impressive cacti.

Verdict on last night's film, Ricki and the Flash: bof. No doubt we missed some subtleties as it was dubbed into Spanish, but it was very pedestrian, predictable, and just generally dull. Meryl Streep spent six months learning to play the guitar, and to give her her due, she does a great job and obviously enjoyed it. Not worth spending good money on though.
