Then suddenly, days of heat that filtered their somnolence down to me under veil upon veil of brightening leaves. And I caught a cold, which I hate, particularly in glorious weather. The best thing to do was stay in my nest and sleep and drink hot water. If it gets worse, I thought, flu-ish, I’ll go to the old cat man and get some pills. He’ll have some. Or he’ll get me some from the village. He will. He likes to look after things. He doesn’t think he does, but he does. Lying here with all of my blankets wrapped round me, protected from the heat under the cool green, my sore eyes couldn’t read, so I just closed them and drifted away.

There’s a sound and the mind runs and strangeness is imminent. I can feel it and there’s nothing to be done but let it run its course like weather till it gives way to normality again somewhere down the line. Listen to those cats. Like wailing babies. Such fierce misery. Hear them sing along to these memories.
