Nice - particularly this one! They do look in excellent condition though now that the 'jungle next door' has gone, they might be homeless?

Very cosy (but my inner grammarian keeps whispering Rus in Urbe)

I stand corrected - "urbis" is the genitive - "of the city", which doesn't make quite as much sense as the ablative "urbe" - "in the city". But "urbis" is often heard in this tag.

Perhaps we should both get out more!
