Alle meine Blümchen auf dem Balkon.

Holiday wildlife

These are cormorants...

Also the cormorant was the disguise used by Satan in Milton's Paradise Lost. Satan sat on top of the Tree of Life as a cormorant in his first attempt to deceive and tempt Eve.

Guess we scared them off.

Why you always come back home...

So we were on holiday...and no, the photos aren't ready yet...even though the short trip to the Baltic Sea was more than two weeks ago, but that's not the point anyway, the point is what we found when we got home. Which was somehow what we hoped for, but didn't...at least not to this extent...What am I on about? The incredible best cat sitter in the whole wide world of course...

More cats, less artwork

Everyone's away for Easter...so I get to look after their cats.

Cats and Artwork

I had the pleasure to be part of a photo series by artist Maeshelle West-Davies this past week and not only did she take some lovely photos of me and my posing partner, but I also had the chance to snap a couple of great shots featuring the more outgoing ones of her five cats...

Shorty contemplating the outside world

Things I do at work...

Funny bread faces? Way to mainstream. This is what I made (and what half the class copied of course...)

Also, one of them did a portrait of a teacher. Quite accurate I dare say...

How to make a cat happy

Ja wie bloß? Vielleicht mit einem 10kg Sack Katzenfutter? Oder mit 36 Beuteln furchtbar stinkendem super-spezial Nassfutter? Oder den kostenlosen Snacks? Oder gar mit der beigelegten kleinen Spielzeugmaus, die mittlerweile schon jeden Zentimeter des Zimmers kennt?

Nein, die ultimative 'Happiness'-Zutat ist natürlich der Karton!

Schlafstörungen...

...soll Baldrian ja eigentlich beheben. Sieht bei Lucy aber ganz nach dem Gegenteil aus.

a rather long post about cats

Cats that crossed my path in the last months and stood still long enough to have their picture taken...

The black backyard cat - took a while to convince her I'm friendly.

Garfield-like tomcat from my street. Took him in for a couple of hours to save him from the cold winter air. He had icicles hanging from his whiskers...

wohlfühlwelt

Ich bin mal wieder zuhause im Wald. Es hätte einige gute Gründe gegeben um in der Stadt zu bleiben, aber eben noch mehr dies gerade nicht zu tun - wobei ich jetzt wahrscheinlich sagen sollte, dass der mütterliche Geburtstag am vergangenen Mittwoch der ausschlaggebende Punkt war... 

appearances can be deceptive

Outside the sky is grey and the rain is drizzling down occasionally - yet the warm wind brushed my face and made me feel at peace with the world.

faule haut

Was tut man, wenn man zu faul ist mitten in der Nacht das Bett zu beziehen? Genau, man schläft im Schlafsack!

Was tut die Katze? Sie legt sich als erste hinein...
