Bonnie and Clyde spent a time sniffing the daffodils this morning.    It's
been a long, cold, wet winter but spring is in the air.   Officially spring
starts in New Zealand on 1st September but we won't be here to see it.   We
leave on a cruise on 25th August and will sail from Tahiti to Hawaii.   I
have reluctantly booked the cats into a cattery.  I know they will be safe
and well cared for in the cattery as opposed to leaving them with a house
sitter I don't know very well.  They won't like it though!!!

FSP doesn't mind the winter because she is wearing the warmest fur coat
you've ever seen.   She is shedding it now  and has to be thoroughly brushed
and combed every night to prevent knotting.

If you can step on nine daisies all at once it's springtime.
