desperanceSo I was watching my first game of Twenty20 (a short form of cricket, for the uninitiated), and - as suspected - not enjoying it very much. For me cricket is all about context over time, subtle shifts of power and momentum, balance above all; where there is no time there is no balance.
But anyway. I was bored, kinda, with all that slogging. So I went to get my laptop - and found the front door open, Mac sitting on the doorstep gazing out at the world.
Bless him, he came back in when he saw me. I shut the door very carefully, and then called Barry. And was quite prayerful for an atheist, until I heard the thump of dainty paws above. I could've lost both cats, very easily; just for that moment, I did think I'd lost one.
No idea how. I hadn't locked the door - obviously - but it had been very firmly shut for hours. Either one of the cats opened it, or someone passing did, or else it was the poltergeist. Sometimes I have to remind myself I'm an atheist, and do not believe in poltergeists. Too much stuff ends up on the floor when even the cats aren't near it.
But anyway. Two boys present and correct; one relieved and very fretful Chaz. Going to have a bath now, and go to bed, and see who comes for a snuggle.
