Life with cats, and other things…
1345/21st August 2021 No extra excuses are needed for me to pay close attention to the sky which, I think you know, I do anyway. We were told to expect a hurricane on Sunday-Monday.

1514/30th June 2021 It wasn't what I would call a violent storm yesterday, but it was definitely moist. Very refreshing! I love a good rain storm.
