My friend is adopting two kittens, brother and sister, from La Palama and somehow I got involved with making sure they have all their vaccines and so on. I don’t mind. I’m not doing much and they are extremely cute. Work continues on the guide book update. The summer rush of guiding work just finished, and now I should have more writing time.

But we agreed that these fern roots peeking out from behind the stone do look rather like some strange animal with lots of legs. And at the risk of spoiling…
Chai Latte is a found cat who adopted us in October last year. Consequently we don’t know her exact birthday, but August 20th was the vet’s guess.
