[m i a o w] the cat

Spent last night sobbing over the baby whale in Sydney Harbour. It got left behind when its pod swam off to their next destination. Oh gosh. It was trying to suckle on boats - it just drinks it’s mother’s milk for the first year. It’s making me cry to TYPE it It had to be euthanised. For some reason, lots of people dying in a plane crash just doesn’t affect me in the same way.

It is for this reason I am glad I haven’t watched television all year. Of course, M had to come home and tell me about it - I would much prefer not to have known. Consoled self by watching Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix - and now I am up to date with the Harry films. I have to say that Order of the Phoenix was probably my most favourite of the books. Watching the latest two films is odd. For me they are like the shorthand version of the books, but I imagine they would be great if you hadn’t read them and didn’t know how much they’d had to leave out for the sake of brevity.

Here’s a photograph from this morning - currently my favourite one of M and Small Z. They are on their morning walk and M always lets Small Z smell and grab the trees…

And another shot from this morning, also taken by M on their walk…

The weather during the days is pretty crap at the moment, but the mornings and evenings just look sublime. Chilly, but picturesque.

I felt bad about the baby whale as well. I had the thought that it so wanted to live as it was suckling the boats how hard would it be to try and feed it some milk but I guess they said they didn’t have a formula and it would probably need gallons and gallons and then how would you feed it?
