An update on Chai Latte

October 12, 2020

She’s (almost certainly) going to make it. We got our wires crossed with the vet – our poor girl has two fractures in her pelvis as well as the massive hernia repair. It’s going to take weeks, but she should eventually make a full recovery. We hope.

Sunday Photos: Chai Latte again

October 11, 2020

I think I might have mentioned our cat here on the blog once or twice. We start most days with a snuggle and this improves the quality of my life enormously. We almost lost her last night. My husband came back from the village bar and found her crying and unable to use her back legs at all. We thought she’d been hit by a car and had a broken…

I’m still starting almost every morning with Chai Latte. My husband brings me a coffee, bless him, and Chai comes trotting in and jumps on the bed.

For the last few days I…

Sunday Drawings: Chai Latte

The first one turned out very much better than I expected. No-one’s going to put my efforts in a gallery any time soon, but it was fun. I just finished 6 days of tour guiding, so I had another go while…

Happy Birthday Chai Latte

August 26, 2019

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. Anyway, it’s close enough to celebrate, so I cooked her a salmon fillet, stuck a candle in it, and we sang Happy Birthday. We needed this cat. I start almost every morning with a snuggle and mutual admiration session, which improves my day…
