If your beloved pet cat witnessed your murder... would it take revenge on your behalf? In THE SHADOW OF THE CAT (1961), the answer is YES! This latest entry from Hammer Productions is directed by John Gilling and stars Andre Morell, Barbara Shelley, William Lucas and Bunkie as Tabitha the cat!

Over a plate of burnt pork chops, Christine took a deep breath and then shared her news.

"I'm pregnant. It's definitely yours. I don't expect anything from you but I would like it if this didn't affect my job and if we could continue a professional, friendly relationship."

Conrad was stunned for a moment before he spoke. "Thank you for telling me. I like to think that I'm a decent dad - not the best, but not the worst either. I love my daughter Jade and, if you'll let me, I'd like to be in our child's life. We can certainly continue to work together if that's what you want, and I will support you and the child financially in other ways as well."

Christine sighed in relief. "I'm so glad. I'll let you know when the nooboo is born and you can definitely see them as much as you want."

Conrad stroked her face. "Now that that's sorted... did you want to sleep over?"

Christine chuckled. "Well, no. I've sorted out an apartment in town for myself and I'd best get back there. But we can Woohoo if that's what you're really asking!"

"You'd better come upstairs."

"Why?"

"Because that's where your money is. That is what you came for, isn't it?"

Thursday, August 05 — Margaret Rutherford Double Feature

8:00 p.m. - MURDER SHE SAID (1961) When nobody will believe she witnessed a murder, elderly sleuth Miss Marple takes a job as a maid to ferret out clues.                                          

10:00 p.m. - MURDER AT THE GALLOP (1963) Elderly sleuth Miss Marple suspects foul play when an old friend is supposedly scared to death by a cat.   

While Ivar was out, the Phillipses celebrated Jade's first birthday at home. Felicity helped her to blow out her candles...

... and she aged up into a toddler! I gave her freckles thinking that Conrad had them but he actually doesn't so I fixed that in the next round. She still has a touch of the O'Donnells to my mind but maybe it's just the green eyes and wide mouth? Whatever, she's still sweet!

Potty training time!

The round came to an end that night so here's a family photo! Getting Jade in place took forever and had me tearing my hair out - she kept wanting to do an action and glitching halfway across the map. Is there a way to freeze toddlers? 😆

Anyway, at the end of the round Conrad is now 34, Felicity is 26, Jade is 1 and Ivar is 20. He'll move out next round, most likely to a small house rather than an apartment as I imagine he and Genevieve will want to get engaged and start a family straight away!

Let's have a round summary to finish off.
