Chiquita had her long-awaited visit to the vets to get spayed yesterday and returned with a huge shaved patch and a buster collar to stop her ripping the stitches out.
She is not impressed with the collar.
Advice from the vets included a remark that the cat could be drowsy for a few days as a result [...]

Clash of principles

I had an interesting message on Flickr to day. It was somebody asking if they can use one of my photos for something they are doing. As all my photos are published under a Creative Commons licence there really is no need to ask, but I do appreciate the courtesy when people do. This particular [...]
More bad cat news

Today has been a very sad and depressing one, as it saw us lose our second cat in just over a week, but this time it was totally unexpected.
Welcome to the family

Funny how these things happen. Jayne went to a party on Saturday night and one of her sister’s friends was saying how she had a kitten they couldn’t keep any more… Seems that they already had a dog, the kitten’s mother and the kitten’s older brother. When the cat had a litter they were persuaded [...]
A photographer not a terrorist

I forgot all about this event today. Apart from sounding like a lot of fun it helps get the message across to those policemen who have been interpreting the law a tad overzealously.
No more pets

We decided a while a go that, for various reasons, we would not have any more pets.
After Ziggy died we weakened a little bit and so Rojo joined the family, but that was a momentary lapse of reason – somebody we knew had kittens who needed a home, we had a home… it seemed like [...]
I don’t want to complain, but…
January 6th, 2010 · No Comments · Life, Work
Everything looks so clean and white outside so I don’t want to complain about the weather, but I think I may moan a bit about the timing of it. It is only about 8 or 10 centimetres here at the moment. Hardly Arctic conditions, though it has made our street impossible again. This time our [...]
Decorating the cats

Getting the car moving again coincided with Jayne getting paid, so today saw one or two rash purchases in town while I was working, leading to an entertaining few minutes at home this evening as we tried to get Scar and Rojo to model their new scarf and santa hat.

Steepest road in Crawley?

A chap in Hobbs Road is in the local paper complaining about the lack of a gritting bin in his road. Having had my own simlar experiences discussin grit bins with West Sussex council I have a lot of sympathy for him, but where I have to disagree is when he says it is the [...]
Snap away

Lets hope that this means that stupid things like this won’t be happening in the future- but just to make sure you could always go to Trafalgar Square on January 23rd for what could be one of the most photographed events of the year and an ideal opportunity to show off all those camera-related xmas [...]
