Sunday photo: More kittens

The kittens are growing up. Luna has thrown off her cold and bounces around my friend’s house with her brother. She’s had her first round of vaccines too.   My friend has such a hard time telling the kittens apart that we put a red mark on Blue’s head. It’s not elegant, but it does the job. And I’m still chugging away slowly at the guide book update.

Sunday photos: kittens

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. In other news, I washed one of…

I start almost every morning with a snuggle and mutual admiration session, which improves my day…

Sunday photos: La Salemera

We spent a little time on the side road that leads to the Playa del Porís where we found this man working on his vines.     Then we decided that it really was too hot, so we went to La Salemera to photograph the sea and have a beer at the kiosk. One of the nice features of the kiosk…

Sunday photos: An unBirthday party

My real birthday is in January, shortly after Christmas, New Year and Epiphany (a big deal in Spain). In other words, when everyone is partied out, so it tends to be almost a non-event. My friend has a late December birthday, so she has the same problem. Last year we joked that we should have a second birthday like the queen. This year we actually did it. We went out…
