Because Ted is a very good husband, he remembered that we had tickets to A Compás!, a flamenco dance concert that I’d seen advertisements for and thought would be very cool to go to. I was desperately wrong. It was not cool. It was *fantastic*. All right, first off I must confess that the lead dancer, Ángel Muñoz, looked like a Spanish cross between Peter Wingfield and Neil Gaiman, so basically I could’ve sat there and watched him do absolutely nothing for hours on end.

zilli update
Well, Zilli broke two toes clean through and is in a cast for six weeks or possibly more and is extremely unhappy, but, as the vet said, also very lucky. He’s lugging this little cast around and meowing, and he’s not supposed to go up and down stairs because he could knock the cast loose. We need a baby gate.

I haven’t yet done so, but maybe I will in the next few days. It sounds like just the right speed. Killarney photos are up. There might be more later when Ted’s gone through his, but for now, there are mine. Plus what’s getting posted on kitsnaps ( if you want the syndicated feed). I managed…
