There seems to be a recurrent theme in a number of wrongful convictions whereby the police fixated on the person ultimately convicted, and between them and the prosecutor they seem to concoct fantastic theories of the crime that can defy the laws of physics ways that only a Time Lord could.

And finally, the last of the daily introduction of pets - so that’s it, all 12 of them.
These are Cheeky and Jasper. Jasper is a recent addition to our family - my wife was driving a short way down our street when she saw a budgie on the road that was in some distress.

This is Whiskey (he seemed so chilled when we picked him up - turns out that he had just been vaccinated). Whiskey is a fairly sensitive and gentle boy who has a habit of just standing while watching you.
Whiskey loves nesting in amongst them pillows. My wife is not impressed with that.

This is Gemma (Teller-Morrow) - the first of our two dogs. Gemma is an absolute gronk and a furry bin chicken (it’s a Brisbane thing - one of the many names for the local ibis).
Despite her faults, the cats seem to like her.

Finally (for our cats), and not least of all (he’ll make sure that you know that), is Arthur, AKA Sir Foofers Lord of the Pantaloons or simply Foofs or Foofers, AKA Mr Magnificent.

This is Ruby (better known as Bubba). She’s our original, and our only outdoor cat - the others are strictly indoor only). Bubba is not a fan of any of the others, but she tolerates the dogs.
She loves to rattle the security door, making it sound like someone is trying to break in.

Almost exactly two weeks ago to the minute, I was made redundant with no forewarning. Two days ago I had two job offers in hand, one of which I accepted. I resume working on Monday.

This is Suki. Suki is the only one of our cats that’s really a lap cat, and only one of two that goes by her actual name. Suki loves to go bugging. Thankfully no radroaches here.

This is Mac (John McClean (Die Hard) - you know that you’re parenting well when your daughter chooses a name like that). He’s also known as Chonk or Chonky (to be fair, he has lost some weight). The first of our batch of indoor cats. He’s a love sponge, but not much of a lap cat.

I’m going to be following what I thought was an excellent suggestion from Cal Newport’s Slow Productivity book, and go and see a movie in the middle of a work day.
Finally getting to see Dune 2 - Covid, work commitments (including on-call) have prevented it until now.

This is AJ ( short for Apricot Jam) - my wife’s pick of a name. Our daughter wanted Ginny (Weasley), and I thought Djinni would be more appropriate.
AJ is a very timid, petite girl, but also very sweet.

[I believe that] We need to rethink how citizenship works. It is now common to see people with two or more citizenships, and yet there is no clear way to balance competing or conflicting obligations placed on such a citizen.

Our family’s latest furry addition was Bowie. Bowie has exactly two speeds - hyperactive, and zonked. He can only be photographed in the latter state, otherwise you might notice that he has heterochromia iridium.

Starting today, over the coming days I will introduce the furry and feathered members of our family one at a time, and spout some of my Post posts to help give people some sense of who I am.

I’m a Twitter refugee coming here via Post.
Post never managed to replace the (autistic) community on Twitter. We’ll see if Spoutible can - I have my doubts, unfortunately.
So far what I have seen from the news feed has been very US-centric - I would love to be able to get Australian news here.
