Between blotch and blok

LL is clearly your daughter: well done.

We're now in complete disagreement as to whether shooting people to bits--her preference--is more fun than stabbing them lots--mine. But the intent's the same ;-)

I have a lurking suspicion that the cat murder books may be my fault. Sorry...

I bought "The Historian" for myself and that was the first of the pair, so it's not entirely your fault by any means. Beyond an initial sad moment, I don't object in any way to cat-killing as a useful trope.

No ballet pains here, either.
Excellent.
