Absolutely still adorable. I thought, when looking at the top photo that there is something almost... lionlike in his look now.

Good idea about rationing the photos - looking forward to more of them, and may your busy days go according to plan and smoothly.

Why, I feel all thin, sort of stretched, if you know what I mean, like butter that has been scraped over too much bread.

^ This isn’t purity of thought and deed, you know. If I ate a hot dog or a billow of cotton candy my stomach would say YOU MUST BE UNGLEBLARGING JOKING and then I’d probably explode.

What an interesting hypothesis. Don't you feel any desire to test it, perhaps in the name of science or just your fan's morbid curiosity?

You can get some very nice Bratwursts with Sauerkraut and good mustard at one of the shops around here. Would something tasty like that be a close enough approximation of a "hot dog" to test your hypothesis?

All these hell kitten photos turn me green with envy. Cuddling up, playing, taking you entirely for granted. After my elderly cat died, I adopted a mature cat from the shelter. She spent the next two weeks behind the couch except when I was in bed. The weather's getting colder; I put an old afghan down by the radiator. She now will come out and lie on it if I sit very still. Once she condescended to sniff my toe. She still runs if I move. Maybe I didn't smell right.

Good luck with your next few frantic days.

But due to a whole series of circumstances mostly beyond my control and/or rude and preposterous scheduling I find that the next two days are going to be unpleasantly packed with incident. Not to mention getting up early THREE DAYS IN A ROW.

I am overcome with fellow-feeling, because this sounds like my week. (Except that I will have to get up early every day, oh yuck.) I hope the traffic between New Arcadia and Mauncester is light and the road crews have moved on to new territories, and may the seminar be a good one.

Where DO kittens get that look of perpetual slightly worried astonishment? Smile

I have assumed for some years now that all homeopaths who dare attempt to cross the border into Hampshire are immediately transformed, by some fell sorcery, into aggressive out of control dogs which would explain a lot. I believed I had avoided this destiny by leading with the fantasy-writing thing and the goblins in charge overlooked me. So tomorrow I will discover how other people maintain human integrity upon the dangerous ground of Hampshire. Either that or there’s going to be a lot of barking.

I love this concatenation of ideas. Smile

I hope the workshop is great and you really enjoy it.

I'm still smiling to myself about the name 'East Persnickety'.
