I have never known a cat quite like Mittens for being able
to show her emotions clearly on her face.
This is her Expectant Face as she sits patiently waiting for
her dinner to appear.

It is Monday today and we have dreary weather, with overcast
skies, wind, and the odd bit of rain. It
is the edge of an ex-tropical storm that is making its way down the country.
The weekend was fairly uneventful. I was feeling tired so never achieved very
much, certainly nothing worth writing about!
The weekend's highlight was Saturday evening, when we watched our
local Chiefs rugby team play the Canterbury Crusaders. The match was here in Hamilton but we viewed
it on TV, not joining the 24,000 people who packed out the stadium to capacity.
It was a good game. Both
teams were evenly matched and the score hung in the balance for most of the
game, but in the end we won 34 to 24.
Have a happy day 😊
Margaret.
HEADER PHOTO MAY 2023
My header photo for May 2023 is the Hurunui River in North
Canterbury. One of Canterbury’s braided
rivers, it is 145km long and flows from the Southern Alps down to the Pacific
Ocean. Brown trout and eels can be
fished here, along with seasonal runs of sea-salmon and whitebait.
This photo was taken in early winter, 2012.
I shall reiterate how much I enjoy your superb photography for your headers.
ReplyDeleteAw, thankyou Graham :)
DeleteMittens looks poised to jump down from her perch the moment her dinner arrives.
ReplyDeleteHappy new month...I like your header for May. GM
Mittens certainly has an expressive face!! She a cutie with it too. Wet and miserable here also - a good day to stay inside and not be very energetic..

That's a lovely photo of Mittens. She's so cute
ReplyDeleteSometimes it's a wonderful treat not to do much on the weekend. We all need down time.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful vista!
24,000 people? No thanks, I would have watched it from home as well!
ReplyDeleteLove the new header. It reminds me of early spring here.
ReplyDeleteMittens is a beauty for sure!
Love the new header, Margaret. Mittens sure does look expectant!
ReplyDeleteSome weekends are just that - uneventful and with dreary weather, all I want to do is sleep! It's been so cold here lately, not our typical May at all - brrr. And Mittens is great - love a cat with personality! Mary
ReplyDeleteQuiet days are nice! Pretty kitty:)
ReplyDeleteI go with Jim. At high-times there were 12000 in our stadion and that is more than enough for my liking!
ReplyDeleteI think we not always need action - cute pic of Mittens (if really demanding, LOL) x
I wondered was the water fishable and here you gave the answer. Our Bubbie cat had a very expressive face. He always had a somewhat smug look, but I swear, if would go and sit on the porch with him, you could read the happiness in his face. When I was younger we would play tag in the house. I would smack his butt (lightly of course.) and take off running and hide, and call his name and he would come sneaking to find me. I would then jump out and he would take off running.
