Two cats didn't feel like enough cat to fill the house. So I'd like to introduce our newest feline, Flynn.

Some heartbreaking news. Received a phone call from a vet that no-one wants. My beautiful, funny, silly, and feisty cat Tilly had been brought in after being attacked by a dog. Efforts to save her were unsuccessful. Hug your pets folks.

The downside of evicting a mouse from your room, after you've shut the cat out to deal with the mouse, is that the cat then spends the next hour scouring your room for a nonexistent mouse. Don't you Tilly?

Six month vet checkup for Tilly and Honey. The verdict: Tilly is a perfect angel. Honey is also a very sweet cat, but is turning into a bit of a Heckin' Chonker.

It's a bank holiday weekend, so obviously I am building flat-pack wardrobes. Mrs okapi for scale.

Seriously. 5 minutes...* *They're USB-C on the other end, but it wasn't such a good photo.

Can never find USB-C cables in this house. Went into teenage daughter's room for literally 5 minutes, and came out with 17 of the bloody things. Seventeen!

How small is ultra-small, you ask. This whole scan covers 1 milliradian, or 0.0573 degrees, which is about the same as 2-3 steps of a reasonable powder x-ray diffraction scan. This scan contains 10000 data points...

In case you were wondering what ultra-small angle X-ray scattering from a butterfly wing looks like. The central peak is the unscattered beam. Satellite peaks are Bragg-like diffraction from the wing structure, giving rise to its green colour.
