Winter shadows

And a door. Seconds after I took this I was distracted from my blip quest by a very fetching little tabby cat which dashed down the steps to wind itself round my legs, purring happily and begging to be stroked. Why are some cats so friendly to strangers? Mystère would never dream of doing this -- he flees at first sight of any unknown being.

Unfortunately a known being -- Evil Neighbour Cat -- was spotted at large yesterday. He's obviously recovered from his accident. As Mystère's wound is just about healed now, let's hope they don't meet. Or if they do, that Mystère takes the sensible approach of running away.
