2009 – A Review

Every year I like to do a quick post to review the year that was, my last review post was filled with optimism, but 2009 panned out to be a more difficult year than 2008, but has been punctuated with some awesomeness. There were a few tragedies in 2009, the saddest being the death of [...]

Bye Bye Chad

I usually only like to add positive content to my site, but this is an exception. Last Thursday Mark and I caught a cab home from a concert and were met on the driveway by our neighbour who told us out cat had been run over. He had sweetly laid him on the grass and [...]

Home in Brisbane

Mark has been back for several weeks, and I have been home for a week. I arrived last Friday night with all three pets. They all hate flying, and I was worried about the cats being so stressed I made diverted to a vet to get them some drugs to ‘take the edge off’ flying; [...]

Pecking Order

These guys get on great, but are not good at sharing beds. Chad (the cat) loves taking over the bed, and Mischa has not got the balls to ask him to move so she settles down on the floor.

Chad being cute in the afternoon sun

I wish I was a cat. I would have a lazy afternoon every day and curl up in the sun and have a nap, or read a book and listen to some funky music.

Dr Zeus Arranged by Colour

I am working on a chromatically arranged bookshelf, which is growing slowly. But I like this version that is more manageable. Via  Chad Norman

Meet Misha

Mark and I are now daddies, so to speak. Yesterday the Greyhound Adoption Programme dropped off Misha. Misha is 4 years old and has just retired from racing, her owner suffered a heart attack and was unable to look after his dogs, her racing name was ‘Go Gayle Go’, and Mark and I have renamed [...]
