We had a few good pieces of news last week and one of them is that Slinky is now officially ours. Of course we have gained ownership in his years of decline, but I'm so pleased that we don't have to worry about our lovely neighbour moving and taking him with her. Slinky is celebrating by moving from bed to bed nursing a pus ridden eye from where the Evil Black Cat slashed him. Fortunately he is on the mend, as of course any medical treatment is now our responsibility.

I have now seen most of Revenge of the Sith and I have to say it was a lot better than I thought it was going to be. It was a bit of a family outing, so I sat between the Niece and Big Sis, ate doughnuts, mocked various bits of dialogue with the Niece, slept, ate doughnuts and repeated these actions for the whole two and a half hours. A very pleasant afternoon indeed. Rock Cake pointed out that he is one of the few people to have see all seven of the Star Wars films, which include this gem. I really think that's going too far.

Anyway, I have been touched by the nice messages for Mr McMuffin and I really think that they helped him through the whole ordeal. I'm sure he'll say something himself, now that he's been able to let out that breath he's been holding for the last fortnight and I no longer wake up in a cold sweat imagining life on the streets.
