I wouldn’t like to say Morcilla is spoiled or anything like that, but after spotting her on several occasions attempting to drink out of the water glass I keep on my desk, I thought she might like a glass of her own. And sure enough… 🐈⬛🤍🐾
(yes, there is another water bowl that Morcilla and Luna share, constantly refreshed with filtered water)

Quick visit to Peru today thanks to my pal Danny Cárdenas, whom I’ve known for many years. He has just rebooted his restaurant Raíces and we stopped in to say hola. I had been invited to the opening party last week but I’m staying away from big group gatherings this month (tis the season!). Anyhow, it was a fabulous lunch, with pisco sours and all. Review coming soon.
10 Wednesday Dec 2025
So damn… woke up at 6 am (actually a welcome change from the usual 4 am) listening to THE RAIN. And then had a look at the forecast. I mean, I already know that on rainy days I am basically stuck inside, especially since the Polka Dot Poncho let me down. Hobbling on crutches means no umbrella is possible and so these days I am more or less resigned to being, well, resigned. BUT today Luna had her appointment to get a cyst removed. which we’d made in November. Dammit.
At 7 am I texted vet Sonia and asked her if I could reschedule because the thought of Peter and I trying to get there and back again in the ALL-DAY RAIN without umbrellas (Peter carrying cat, me on crutches) and trying to find a taxi (we’d already gone through that hell recently) was just… no. And hey, no problem, Luna is rescheduled for next Wednesday morning. But it was another reminder about how my world is shrinking because I can’t fucking walk. So far the forecast for next Wednesday is sunny.
