Yates

Our favourite cat in the world belongs to a friend of ours, who's new girlfriend is hideously allergic to him. The cat, not our friend. Yates, a 14 year old fabulously wonderful Burmese has been living in our friends backyard as a result of this new girlfriend. I should point out that both the new girlfriend (well, she's not so new) and Yates are wonderful, so it was a tough choice. But we now are the proud owners of Yates, who is a total lap-slut, and knows how to present himself of a cusion when necessary:



It turns out that Yates is highly allergenic, and soon after he arrived a friend came around for dinner and promtly had one eye swollen almost shut. So, the new girlfiend, not so much lying.

It has been really cold in Sydney, particularly in our house, so we took a picture of Yates with the thermal imaging camera we borrowed from work to see if he was still alive:



In fact, this is pretty much how I spent my whole weekend. And baking, and doing home renovating projects. And knitting. Ahhh - the life!





Although, secretly - we did go bouldering for an hour, where we saw a flying fox (they sort of look like bats but aren't) wide awake wayyy to early for itself in a nearby tree. We think its a baby. Look carefully....
