It rained last night, the first real rain we’ve had for months. I can almost hear the ground slurping and sighing with contentment. I’ve been chugging along with the guide book update and I’ve finished the long chapter on the current telescopes (which is well over half the changes) so I awarded myself an hour to go and photograph raindrops. I’ve neglected the mini garden on the balcony in order…
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.
