Moon Cakes
My good friend in Malaysia sent me two Moon Cakes and I have opened and started eating one of them. It is excellent. Truly excellent.

Livestock ... Dead!
My hallways seems to be a passage way, or is it rite of passage, for certain livestock.
Flies and spiders are always with us and there are a few spiders in residence in my hall.
Two weeks ago I found a dead common black beetle followed a day later by a live one: I guessed they had had a fight as the dead one did seem to be a little bit injured. Little bit for me, massive for it!
Every now and again some worms appear ... and all they do there is die. There are two there at the moment ... see one of them below.
Most surprising of all, however, is the other creature that seems to have died, stuck half way up the wall. It appeared over night. I would have noticed it before. Take a look at it, below, too. Notice the things that are stuck to it! Has it choked to death on the feathers or something? I think, though, that the feathers are stuck to its rear end!

Another Power Cut
Since the power cut on Thursday I received two text messages and a phone call from the power grid company. Reassurances ... we are very sorry ... don't hesitate to let us know if this happens again ...
About an hour after the phone call, on Saturday, we had another cut: 90 minutes this time. When it came back this time, it was on, off, on off on off, then on. It's as if they are trying to blow our fuses!
I wonder if these people would pay if they fried any of my things.

Here Kitty, Kitty!
The big story in Essex yesterday was that there was a Lion roaming the streets. Police caution, animal experts involved ... all due precautions in place. Better to be safe than sorry.
This morning I saw the photo that was at the heart of the search and my only and immediate reaction was, here kitty, kitty! I don't have a link to the photo but if you see it you might be struck by the position and shape of the ears. Ears almost on the top of the head and very pointed.
I took a look at a wide range of photos of Lions: male, female and cubs; and not a pointy ear among them.
One if those interviewed over this story also said they heard a big roar ... more likely to be an ear wax problem, I think!
Meow!
