Up until 3:30pm this afternoon I was either at the beck and call of Poirot prior to and during her annual vet's visit, or stuck in front of the computer at the beck and call of my latest project. I've talked to some very interesting people today, but I can't tell you anything about it because it is confidential.
After my last interview today, we went to feed the cats, but by then the rain had started and it was a very soggy visit. All four boys were very cuddly and needing maximum food, tickles and stroking with the (one) grooming glove. When I get near Pets at Home sometime, I need to get another one as they all like having their loose fur helped on its way. Spooky in particular gets very excited and loved up and purrs like a small outboard motor. He has the loudest purr of all four, for all he is the smallest!
Anyway, once home, it was back to the computer, so once again I have rummaged in my stash of photos. As people seemed to quite like the rainforest photo, I had a further look at the Guadeloupe archives. While there are quite a lot of cats on Guadeloupe, the animal (in the widest sense) that best mimics a domestic moggy here in France is the pelican. The follow the fishermen's wives around, begging for morsels, and if you leave a boat unattended, it gets sat on. As they get more comfortable, they splodge down until they become pelican pancake. I think it's cute.
Certainly the most beautiful, but probably the most tantalising, birds are the humming birds. You can hear their wings, and you might catch a glimpse unless they find a really good nectar source, but photographing the wretched things is nearly impossible. This is one of my better attempts.
Tomorrow I have no interviews so I hope to be able to take a bit of time at lunch or in the afternoon to do or see something of more interest to share with you. I know I have to go to the supermarket, so that may bring inspiration! A demain!
