It’s been five years since I adopted Ali from a local cat rescue. She was found with a litter of five kittens and was only about six months old herself. She settled straight in and this early photo of her a few days later is still one of my favourites.
Made it to the end of Westworld Season 4 and while it seems they’re setting up for a possible S5 I think I’m done. I struggled to stay engaged this season. The twists and turns, the reveals, the plot lines, that kept me engaged in S1-2 waned in S3 and were a poor shadow in S4. 📺

My brother’s dog, Tilly, is a gorgeous girl. She’s getting old now though and deaf as a post. She needs to see you to know you’re there but then she comes hustling over for lots of pats and rubs.
