Tick-Tock Tuesday

Tom: #1 says the clock is now ticking, counting down to her getting out of the door at 6:30am tomorrow morning. Our Australian friends have arrived and Steve has already been throwing the Frisbee for me. He is GREAT!

As this will be our last post for a few days at least (#1 is spending her first few days away in Lunenburg, Nova Scotia, and will not be online at all), we thought we would post a selection of photos of us she has taken over the last few days, so that you can have your fill of us!

Let's start with Tama-Chan playing with her green mousie this morning:

and lounging in the run yesterday evening:

Sei-Chan, on the other hand, prefers to remain indoors when it's hot:

When she's not playing with her favourite woofie:

As for me, I have an ultimate garland in the hair shot for you:

Now,  before we leave you, we do have a wonderful story to tell you. On Sunday evening, we were honoured by a visit from a "Queen" we know. She was on her way back home from Paris, and was heavily pregnant, although the birth was supposed to be a day or two away still. When she arrived, she was welcomed with all the honours due to her rank, and offered the best accommodations, with which she was already familiar, and the finest of dinners. She ate her meal and settled herself on the bed, and it all felt so very fine to her that she decided to grace us with the happiest of events! Six gorgeous kittens were born under our roof that night in a quick, easy and smooth labour! One red and five ruddy Aby babies! And there were smiles, and there was joy in the house!

CONGRATULATIONS, VINA DEL MAR!!!!
