Time for more kitten pictures!





It’s Lord Viking doing his moody look. That’s actually the only look he has.




The kittens love the bed more than their din dins bowls.










The cats forced me to post more pictures of them. Little ginger dictators.












WARNING: Not a cat post!
Antione Baril is one of the most incredible multi-instrumentalists I have had the pleasure to experience.
If you don’t know what a multi-instrumentalist is, it’s a person who… plays… multiple… instruments. Keep up double oh seven!
Here is Antoine with his daughter, singing a simple, popular ditty by some idiot band called REM. I don’t imagine you’ve heard of them, but given my aim is to bring new tastes to your palate, here they are*.
It’s delightful, fun and full of love.
Of course, there’s always an ulterior motive. If you want to see what Antoine does properly when he is not doing pop, here it is.
In-cre-di-ble:
*Not sure how to do sarcasm/irony on WordPress. Sorry.
Our local population of swamp hens (Porphyrio melanotus) have just had a clutch of eight chicks. They’re now parading around the paddock under the wary, very beady eyes of their parents.
Thankfully Lord Viking and Princess Wandacakes are snoozing, as they tend to do during the day (lazy little buggers) although I wouldn’t fancy their chances against these tough birds.




















Spring has sprung
The grass has riz
I wonder where the birdie is
They say the bird is on the wing
But that’s absurd
The wing is on the bird
(Not if Princess Wandacakes has anything to do with it.)

It’s been a rough couple of days here weather-wise, so it’s good that finally we can see the sun again. Lord Viking is pleased!











As the weather gets worse, the children spend more time snuggling with their food pourers.
