This photo of a floppy – almost boneless! – Luna shows how happy and relieved I am that my dear friend Ann got through her surgery yesterday without a hitch. It also shows how she is feeling right now, now back at home and ready to heal. Sending strong thoughts to you darling and hope to tapeo again with you soon. xx

So obviously the “steam punk” look from the other day weren’t REALLY Peter’s new glasses. đ These are! A recent eye exam showed that he not only needed a stronger prescription for reading but, for the first time, he also needed help with distance vision. Hence these new glasses with progressive lenses and a nifty magnetic snap-on sunglasses option, so he only needs one pair. He’s still getting used to them, but it’s already made a big difference, not always having to put-on-take-off reading glasses while out and about (reading menus, looking at iphone, etc). But apparently stairs are still a bit tricky…

Since Tomoko stayed at my place to look after the cats while I was on holiday in the Basque Country last month, she has been missing her favourite boy. And well, I think Loki has missed her too. So while Tomoko was back in town for the day we met up for lunch and then spent some time at Casa Azahar with the beasts before she had to catch her train back to Jerez. Lovely afternoon.

I have become somewhat obsessed with my friend Marilyn’s (aka Nag On The Lake) new kitten Carmen. Coaxed in from her garden one day mid-July, the kitten formerly known as #feralkitten was soon being called Carmen (Marilyn and Harold had recently been to see the opera) because M saw her as a feisty little gypsy… turns out she was right.
So ha. Been watching Carmen’s progress with unabashed delight. This little beast reminds me so much of Morcilla, totally taking over the house – and the other two senior pets Joyce & Lizzie – in disruptive, destructive and totally charming ways that she leaves everyone in awe. And in love. Anyhow, saw this on Twitter the other day and it reminded me of Carmen.
Marilyn replied with this one… ahahahaa….
Peter’s new glasses! What do you think?
