morcilla one year oldI took this photo of Morcilla this morning … it’s a bit blurry because she wouldn’t keep still and kept trying to climb the curtains. So she is one year old today but still very much a kitten. You can see how long she is, though she’s still small compared to the other two. But it’s hard to imagine her as small as this now! Also can’t believe that I almost called her Smudge.

And it would have been Azar’s 19th birthday today. But if I still had Azar I wouldn’t have taken in Morcilla. That’s life. Well, if I am lucky I will have as many happy years with Morcilla as I had with Azar. She has really helped heal my heart. Happy birthday little girl!

battlo moonlight
Highlight of my trip to Barcelona was revisiting Casa Batlló. But I was determined not to spend 20€ unless it was a blue-sky day and finally on Sunday afternoon the clouds broke. Around 5 pm I raced up the stairs to get some rooftop shots before the light faded, then went back downstairs to do it all over again more slowly. As luck would have it I ended up back on the rooftop just before sunset. Gorgeous, eh?
