cat tree 2022

Totally becoming an annual event, replacing the previous year’s cat stand because Luna RIPS THE TOTAL SHIT OUT OF THEM. In fact by spring there isn’t much left of the scratch posts but I am determined to hold out until at least June. So here you can see Luna looking quite proud of her previous accomplishment and eager to get to work on the new challenge ahead.

The other two barely use the cat tree other than to jump around on it at times or curl up in the cubby hole. They prefer to use my soft furnishings to give their nasty claws a workout. I guess I should be grateful that Luna doesn’t wreak the same destruction on my furniture as she does on this thing.

vinoble 2022 (3)

Such a long-awaited event for so many reasons. The last Vinoble took place in 2018 and should have happened again in 2020… and well, then it didn’t. For me it was such a treat to see all these people again, many of whom I hadn’t seen for four years or more. Others I met for the first time. And others I have seen more recently, well, it was just great to say hi and catch up. I loved this so much. Filled my heart.

anne paul 2022

It’s always a treat meeting up with Anne & Paul, either here or in Jerez, where they live. This time I got to see them twice in Jerez while I was there doing the Vinoble thing. We had one lovely afternoon tapeo and then one disastrous lunch (WORST SERVICE EVER). And yet both experiences were just fine, and enjoyable, because you can’t beat great company. Makes everything work out in the end. Thanks guys! See you soon.
