"There is no news today"

I'm reading Nick Robinson's book "Live From Downing Street" at the moment and he discusses the early years of the BBC news reporting. Originally the BBC was forbidden from gathering it's own news and depended on news agencies like Reuters and AP for it's material. Occasionally they wouldn't have anything to send and the BBC news bulletin would simply say, "There is no news today".

I, on the other hand, am gatherer and presenter.

So another 18 mile flapjackless ride this morning followed by an alarming lack of kittens when I got home. I searched as much as I could before I had to go off for my Flu Jab. I get a free one because my immune system is compromised.

I then came home and had another fruitless search before heading off for a "how to insert and remove a contact lens" lesson.

When I got back, Gel found the kittens in about 10 minutes. I had spent the best part of the day looking for them.

Pheebs played with them for a while and they seem to have lost a little of the shyness then had when they first arrived. As I type this they are wandering around chewing bits of cable like they've been here forever.

Boo

Both of them.

Here's a picture from the weekend.
