I must have clocked 20,000 miles this morning without noticing. Oh well, it's only an approximation — I lost the running total when the battery went flat back in April.

The cat is earning her keep

Oh no, here we go again.

Flat, under the mat
Like a pressed violet
In a lady's book
There is a vole.
Its body curled like a flower
Its tail a thin, thin stem.
It is my gift to you
And you will hate it
Almost as much as I think it wonderful.
That's because you are stupid
And I am a cat.

— Gift by Jan Dean

Radishes!
