Rain Again

Was a glorious high clouds morning when I walked to swimming earlier. My Hosta's are for the 1st time suffering pigeon damage. Perhaps after I re-potted them the succulent new leaves are irresistible.
The Extra : Clivia still flowering. I shall repot it when they finish. 

I'm enjoying the BBC's celebration of Bob Dylan's 80th birthday Radio 4 2.45 all week.

Last 2 verses of Macavity, with thanks to those of you who have read and enjoyed him

And when the foreign office finds a treaty's gone astray,
Or the Admiral lose some plans or drawings by the way,
There may be a scrap of paper in the hall or on the stair----
But its useless to investigate ----- Macavity's not there !
And when the loss has been disclosed, the Secret Service say :
"It must have been Macavity !"---- but he's a mile away
You'll be sure to find him resting, or a licking of his thumbs,
Or engaged in doing complicated long division sums.

Macavity, Macavity, there's no one like Macavity,
There never was a cat of such deceitfullness and suavity.
He always has an alibi and one or two to spare :
And whatever time the deed took place---- Macavity WASN'T THERE!
And the all say that all the Cats whose wicked deeds are widely known
( I might mention Mungojerrie, I might mention Giddlebone )
Are nothing more than agents for the cat who all the time
Just controls their operations : the Napoleon of Crime !

TS Eliot
