Oh no, poor George. I'm so sorry to hear that. At least you still have Lenny to lavish with love and extra attention. Personally I don't think that I can bear to have pets again. One can only go through so much of this sort of trauma. It's utterly devastating.

Good however to hear about Richard III. Didn't realise that Trigger was involved! I'm going to watch Al Pacino's 'Looking for Richard' on dvd as prep before going to the Globe next month. Doesn't that revolve around rehearsing the Spacey version with Pacino directing...? You can tell that I haven't had time to even read the blurb on the box properly yet!

As I get older I find it increasingly difficult to filter out distracting surrounding sound when I'm trying to focus on something - thus I get furious with popcorn eaters and sweetie paper rustlers, etc whether at the cinema or in my own living room! But it's inexplicable why people would pay to attend a concert and then turn their backs. Just downright rude really. :-/

I bought the Waiting for Richard DVD and it's good to get you up to speed on the play. Spacey is younger and plays Buckingham I think.

Took some time out to watch 'Looking for Richard' this afternoon, and I must say that it was both a revelation regarding Al Pacino, plus the perfect prep for seeing the play, covering as it did the main characters and their motivations. Loved it. :-)

I very much regret the loss of George, at least he had the chance to know what it is felt like to be loved and have a home before parting to cats' heaven. :-(

ps. I managed to do a double posting, no idea how.

Thanks, I have two short little iPhone videos of the pair of them chasing each other and having fun in the garden. I like to think that he had a bit of fun in his little life.

That was your first trip to the Globe? I think it's a fantastic experience to watch a play there, and Mark Rylance as Richard III must be particularly good. I could see that a more amusing approach might work.

I once watched David Troughton as R III, and he was amazing as well. Actually his R III was horrible but somehow it was impossible to not be enchanted so that at the end I would have married him as well. :)

I liked the film Salmon Fishing as well. I had enjoyed the novel very much so that I was a bit sceptical at first but the film was really good in its own right.

I'm very sorry to hear about your cat.
