The new kitty - tiny Tina

Tina has quickly adapted. She already knows where home is, and, at just 8 weeks old, is very chilled about it! Must have been born around end Oct - mid Nov 2016.

She's a beautiful girl! and quite ok with being outside in the garden.

An attempt at hiding

Bought these three oval garden beds ($35 each) plus soil (from Sapar $80) to plant a sweet potato vine, which will grow quickly and hide my back garden from cars on the corner street opposite. That's the idea.

and...below,

the finished beds, baking in the sun. Hope the plants survive - sweet potato vine and orange trumpet winter creeper.

Mum visits!

Here's Mum sitting in my new (second hand) armchair watching The Bold and The Beautiful on TV. She arrived just before 4 then realised she would have to tune in over here.
It's nice to have her here in a normal capacity. Relaxed.
Documenting her visits is important as they don't often happen!
