The rhythm of her walk, it's beautiful.

• Goodness! (Apparently I'm up against Charles Dickens.)

redcountess remains very unwell, so I've been home all weekend. I've been pottering about online and sporadically tidying.

I did get the Merry Chanukahmas! pics of narnee's visit up. I have also just dug out the bag of undeveloped film from three to four years ago, which I really should put in some time. Recommendations of competent developers would be welcomed. I'm looking for someone who won't just give it to the bored and underpaid sixteen-year-old trainee they showed how to work the machine last week — these will probably need a good kicking.

GIMP's defaults are annoying me. (That's gimp.app on MacOS X.) I would like to tell it to remember that how I like my JPEGs (optimised, progressive, quality 85, DCT float) and to resample using cubic rather than linear. We're in a world of stupid amounts of CPU and I think any machine that will be displaying these pictures can afford to use some floating point on a JPEG.

Pee kitty!

Bloody Neo was let in after breakfast this morning and promptly pissed on the duvet, while redcountess was in it, with a pissed-off teenage rebel expression on his face.

What the fuck? What can we do about this?

(It was an actual puddle of pee, not spraying. He had the pissed-off expression on his face, not the "oh dear, I'm caught short" expression. Liz says she heard him mreeowwwing with another cat outside. He might also be unhappy with the litterbox, I didn't look this morning.)

Update: I think we've found the problem. I just cleaned the litter tray. The little poo house is as efficient as claimed in absorbing wafting odours ... if you're not inside it trying to use it as a toilet. If I were Neo I'd have made an editorial comment. It's much nicer now and I shall have to make a point of changing it daily or every day and a half at absolute most.
