A New Year has begun . . .


The old year is washed away, a mixture of joy and pain, of
hope and utter frustration.


On New Year's Eve 2010, my beloved 22 year old cat Millie
left for good . . . no more moonlit rides on my broomstick.
A cat of distinction, my very personal friend and companion.
My broomstick sulks in a corner, I have no heart for flying solo.



Thank God for all my blogging friends who have kept me
partially sane through the shoals and shipwrecks of the past
year. I don't know what I would have done without those of
you who have become very special friends and all of you who
have left comments and/or are following my meagre
photographic efforts. My trusty Nikon became unfocused and
had to be sent to hospital. In some ways a good thing since I
replaced it by a Canon with slightly better optics. Yet both
cameras have their good and not so good points and I am looking
forward to my Nikon being resuscitated.

This year has many challenges ahead, both with the Prof and
my darling sister, I will be yo-yoing to Melbourne again shortly
to see her.

When things get too gloomy, I check out the wormholes, both
on Windy Hill, as well as a few other locations nearby.

Who knows when the call will come to step through one of them?


I wish you all the wonders that this world can provide if we just
keep our eyes and minds open. Stay well, be happy and dream . . .

The Cat and I

The cat sat on the mat
and yes she did do that

but when she saw me sitting down
she clawed her ancient frame
upon my knee, and kneading
needle sharp through skin and flesh
expressed her love for me
*
Curled up in perfect unison
both lost in thought of long ago
of what once was and never more
shall come to pass
in moonlit grove
or looking glass.
