"Up out of the lampshade, startled by the overhead light, flew a large nocturnal butterfly that began circling the room. The strains of the piano and violin rose up weakly from below."

Worst song possible plays as Trump tours mask plant. You just can't make up the news sometimes. As President Donald Trump touts plans to reopen the economy at a mask factory in Phoenix, Arizona, Live And Let Die blares over a loudspeaker. Can't blame The President for that one! Some great James Bond posters on this site. How's that for a segue;)

Kitty was a bit 'mow'! when I didn't upload her Met Costume Gala costume. Think she understood when explained that she was more interesting as a virtual virtual cat and that she might get lost in the rabbit fever.
She fashioned one of my old USB wristbands around her head, attached chop-sticks (she calls them dog-sticks) with velcro, then stood upright in an old biscuit tin and started conducting. All very John Cage (who she has never heard of).

Kitty's fascinated by NYCB's Wendy Whelan's Wednesday Instagram Live ballet class. Kitty Litter: "Wendy's cat prefers Fosse, meowthinks. But to do Fosse one needs know cat". I'd agree with that. Kitty's a bit suspicious that I 'planted' the cat in the April 29 video, so she will will doing her best to follow your class LIVE! And check me out too!

oh dear..next class not until May 13. Wendy, you better not disappoint Kitty she'll go cat-asttophe on me! You'll be very glad to know that she hasn't velcro'd chop sticks as her barre. Mind you, comedy cat- meow never know!

[It's the thought that counts.]
