• 10:23:25: Oh well. May as well do some writing while I'm stuck here with only a sleeping snake and someone else's cat for company!
  
• 12:20:47: @TezMillerOz Not yet. Neighbour Cat hasn't shown any interest in Ket's vivarium because he can't eat it!
  
• 15:33:34: I think I just had a personal revelation. Outside Tesco, which doesn't seem at all fitting

• 19:05:10: @kazmahoney My favourite Heyer is The Talisman Ring, but you can't go wrong with These Old Shades and Venetia either
  
• 22:58:39: People, I have The Human Centipede. Won't be watching tonight, but soon! Prepare to share my outrage and bafflement tomorrow
