Our cat Malcolm, age 17 1/2, enjoys being vacuumed, although he’s a bit camera-shy here. (My son is wielding the vacuum here.) Usually, he rolls around in ecstasy (seen briefly in the video), making sure every part gets vacuumed. He often presents his head to make sure his cheeks are groomed. When much younger, Malcolm would dash [...]

Gone to California….
It’s getting awful lonely around here. Everyone is moving to California. First Paddington, then Laura and Ryan.
Paddington, an awesome cat with a big personality, spent one wonderful year with us before his owner Cynthia claimed him in June. Now he’s living in San Francisco. Laura and Ryan have moved farther south to Huntington Beach, Surf City USA.
Some of you may already [...]

Aussie Speak
I laughed when I read my friend Anita’s recent facebook status report: “having fun using words like kerfluffle, bungle (as a noun), shambolic (as in shambles), rectitudiness, verballing, and of course tradies, unis, bikies, footies. . .”
Anita, an American, moved to Australia last summer. As a journalist, part of her job is communicating with government officials [...]

If only we’d had digital photography [...]

I’m a Tasmaniac
I’m envious. Janelle of “What Makes Me Laugh” won a trip to Australia for herself and her husband by writing an essay about Jurlique products, based in Adelaide. Her niece told her: Get your butt to Australia before my college year abroad ends (or something like that…) So with only a few months to spare, Janelle figured out [...]
