The CAT RUN - early Days

when we moved in 9 months ago the cat run was a priority ! As it happens other things take over priority so now we are heading down that pathway of 'getting there' and a cat run is now underway. woohoo.

a few videos here but more on my youtube channel and if you find the playlist titled 'the outdoor cat run'

a day or two before getting down to building the cat run - or part thereof

an inspection of what has been built a day or two later since our conversation (above)

the next couple of days later an inspection of the partial build of the cat run ... the run, tunnel and out into the pen - a smaller version of the pen just to get a cat out ... as it happens that was Millie - she did the test run of the facility. The gingers are not yet going to go out ... one of them Kimba would be just fine but Archie is a surefire Houdini and looks for every opportunity to escape ... he doesnt go anywhere he just loves the 'chase'... so here is the inspection of the partial build as it happened.

this is the playlist on our youtube channel to see the progress of the catpen.

birthday #getaway #anyexcuse to drive the Diva

I am late to post but here it is. my birthday #getaway this year was a train ride after the road trip to Queenstown. #anyexcuse to drive the Diva. We had to leave very early to make the 9.30am deadline arriving in Queenstown on time, enough to grab a coffee. The road to Queenstown is extremely winding which, needless to say, the Diva handled beautifully and V was quite happy to be driven (notwithstanding he takes calls all the time - running his car hire business on the move). He did drive a portion of the road to give me a break over the 3.5 hours it takes. We had fun and some nice food, sparkling orange juice and Tassie chocolates. The weather was (Tasmania) damp, chilly, not uncomfortable with random sunshine. The train trip, of 34 kilometres, on The Wilderness West Coast Railway Tasmania is very well setup taking us through 'rugged terrain and breathtaking scenery' whilst telling of its history and that of the area. love that little TOOT at the end We h...

When Endangered is right in front of you

This beauty was found on my office bench one morning this week. So intact, so beautiful. A bit of googling established it is a Bogong Moth. My studio and office is a giant shed so i find critters around from time to time and watch a spider in her webs, around my window overlooking the paddock, catch and wrap flies. I n googling i discovered the Bogong Moth is endangered and recorded my sighting on a website dedicated to tracking these amazing creatures . They aim to support Bogong Moth research, and promote Moth Tracker. Common name: Bogong moth Aboriginal name: The name Bogong is apparently derived from the language of the Dhudhuroa Nation of North Eastern Victoria. Scientific name: Agrotis infusa Population: Declining Conservation status: Endangered Bogong moths also provide critical food for the critically endangered Mountain pygmy possum, lizards, antechinus (broad-toothed rat) and spiders across the Snowy Mountain region....
