8 Things I’m Going to Miss About London

This is part two of my things-I’m-going-to-miss series. You can read part one here . London is multi-cultural and that’s one of the things you tend to notice about it. It attracts all kinds of people. Despite this, there are loads of incredible things about London and I have always felt at home in it, …

Photo of the Week: Tuxedo

Glamorous, eh? At my mum's house has arrived a new stray to add to our list of cats we are caring for (separately and when I stay over). And this cat follows the trend of black and whites who hang out with my mother and I. Look at those little buttons eyes and button nose! …

Photo of the Week: Copycat

Because cat photos. Life with three cats is interesting, but ultimately one of the best experiences I have had. With all their three personalities, every day is something different. But it is indeed Marmite who is the most...intriguing. She is the most territorial, yet she is in herself shy. She is one to dine-and-dash, so …

Photo of the Week: Curious Is the Cat

It's another cat photo, yay! Haha, I met this fluffy long-haired fellow at the weekend in Reading for the Swing Dance exchange. They needed some persuasion, but eventually I coaxed one cat over, where they suddenly showered with me attention. I took a number of this beauty as they walked the garden fence following me, and …

Photo of the Week: The Calico

I can only offer a non-explorative, domestic photo fro this week, of a local neighbourhood kitten, with whom I've made friends. I call this energetic bundle of fur Calico, after its fur patterning. Cute little thing, even when it's attacking a defenceless twig.

Photo of the Week: Siamese

I'm back! (Kind of - my data and MSs are still on the previous laptop and The Boyfriend of a computer science degree - convenient plot-device or what, eh?? - is coming on Thursday to try and help me out in that department.) I won't guarantee a schedule - in fact, that's one thing you can …

Photo of the Week: Chaz

You must be getting sick of pictures of cats, but I swear I could take pictures of cats all day long - were they actually to stay still enough for me to snap them up. This dear fella is Chaz, the black-and-white of the pair we're looking after. You may remember last week's week's photo, …

Photo of the Week: More Cat

This is Smokey J. He is a friend of the family's and so we're looking after him and his house-mate for a short while. Lots of photo opportunities then, hey? I love taking photos of cats (hence the title) - they are so easy to I mean, no they're not - like squirrels, they know …
