As I have no time for anything else at least I can update my blog with some kitten photos. Should be enough of a distraction to any reader to not notice the apparent lack of new posts

Our home will soon be full of cat fluff again. We were missing Barney and kitty company, and we didn’t want to make our next cat lonely, thus we are getting two Maine Coon brothers - Coonaria Jack the Lad and Coonaria Rising Sun - shortened to pet names Jack & Sunny.

Just a quick share of out “kitty visit” at the breeders home - you can see Jack, Sunny, their brothers and sisters, and the 3 older kittens as well.

It’s almost time for our completion on the new flat! Just can’t wait. In the meantime we had our house demo and made a few photos while measuring for the new wooden floor.

I have definitely been enjoying my new G10 camera and as a result came back from the Easter holiday with loads and loads and loads of photos. Just going through to select the good stuff, and then tag has been quite a chore… Can’t wait until someone invents something that would intelligently do all that labour for me.

Easter decorations and celebration

While on Easter holiday at my parents home we have been going out for daily walks. Living in the countryside has the definite benefit of enjoying some rare sights. Just to mark to really nice encounters - a couple of storks and a pack of young deer I’m giving away two photos - wallpapers. You can use these as you please.

The photo is slightly enhanced to bring out the colours, as it turns out trying to shoot a flighing bird, especially from a far is quite tricky… We met this stork couple in one of the nearby nests and as I have a few more shots of the two I will posting more details about them soon.

While chasing the stork we spotted this pack of deer up at the very edge of the hill. Really fun to watch!
