Ah. Which one?

Um, the one that goes 'This is not my beautiful wife' - I vaguely recognise it. Now it's 'Listening Wind'.

Ah. That must be the "Remain in Light" CD - one of their very best.

It's all on random at the moment - now I've got a song by the Cure - do you like them?

I see. And no, not really - I don't like whining voices very much. But there are one or two songs of them that I do like.

I have a feeling you wouldn't like most of my music

I may not - or I may...

I bet you wouldn't like the one that's playing now - Monkey Wrench by the Foo Fighters.

I was thinking last night that you might like some of my weirder Ween songs, but I'm not sure. It might be a different kind of weird

Foo Fighters? Nah...

You never know - I'm always prepared to listen to stuff I don't know. But as I've heard a *lot* of music over the years, I usually know within a few bars whether I like something or not. (And if I don't, I consider that a good sign. )

'Don't' referring to 'know' of course, not to 'like'.

I'll have to send you a selection of some of my songs. And try to resist just sending you the ones that I like

I can't promise I'll like them, but I'd like to hear them.

Fair enough

I'd better head to the library The worst part is that I can't wear my ratty old (warm) dressing gown.

and take care. Sleep well, too. See you tomorrow or the day after.

I'll probably be here for a little while before work See you then

All my kittens are gone

What do you mean? Did they run away, or do they all have new homes now? And what do you mean by *all* of them?

I found homes for the last two Now they're all gone. I 'only' have my two and their mum now. I feel sorry for the mum, she's looking for the kittens

Hey, you did really good - you kept them from becoming stray *and* found homes for them. I'd be proud of myself if I were you. And mumcat'll get over it - just give her some extra attention.

Thanks
