Thanks so much for commenting. And yeah, I'm definitely a fan of a little Doyle-melancholy although I did think it was probably a bit too much so, and that people would prefer light and fluffy at Christmas.

And yup, that's one of the four moggies. He's a huge softie - a Somali-without-pedigree.

I re-read Voice Over recently, btw, and nice to discover you're here and have an LJ. I *love* that story so permit me a brief gush :)
