Another last gasp for summer

After two very cold days and colder nights, with threats of snow on Table Mountain, the fickle weather gave us another taste of late summer again today, although tempered by a high haze that turned into yet another spectacular sunset.



Mango and Biggles insisted on featuring in the show, although you won't be able to tell them apart from this angle. They served as props to disguise the house. They have put on their winter coats and nearly doubled in size and weight in just a few short weeks. Mango continues to be fiercely independent, shunning all forms of cuddling, although she is very insistent on an early morning stroking - just don't pick her up. Biggles is a delight, running to be scooped up and cuddled for as long as you like - we've never had a cat so compliant! They are just over a year now, and no longer chase their toys around the house, tumbling and leaping in all directions at imaginary mice or whatever makes cats do such things. The gecko population has been all but wiped out, and little tailless corpses litter the carpets. The downside of young cats.
Who would believe how small they were just a short while ago!
