August 29 - Thank you (Patreon)

Thank you for all your uplifting and useful comments on our first Patreon video - they have been lovely to read.  I promise to reply to them all over the next few days.  I have been a little under the weather today  - so I immersed myself in the last room which needs unpacking which is the office - or mission control as we call it!  It is where we will plan the renovation and work on the vlogs.  It I  a mammoth task, including sorting out hundreds of cables and plugs from various electrical devices we have accumulated over the years!  We are determined to do it properly though as we think that organisation is going to be a key part of this project.

Rather than show you boring storage boxes and wires - I thought I would show you feeding time at the zoo today. Allegria is such a tiny sweet cat.  Unfortunately she is also incredibly timid because she had a tough start in life on the streets in Sitges nearby.  She refuses to wear a collar (she will run a mile if you try to put one on her) and if you do ever manage to get one on her she soon gets it off.  It is slightly worrying to think what would happen if she ever gets out, but thankfully our walls are tall and she seems to stay in the garden.    

She is at least microchipped.    When we first got her we were living in an AirBnB for a few weeks.  We couldn't get her in the travelling cage when we left so we had to go back the next day - in the end it took TWO cat charities working together to capture her as she was so fast  They said they have never come across a cat like her.  We wonder if she has some Savannah cat or something in her as she is unusually quick and like a wild thing.   We all adore her.
