Apparently I went for a lot of canal walks this month. This was partly because both children were off school for multiple days with a high fever, and I worked from home far more than I’d planned. There are even more cats than usual, too, because I made a lot of new, temporary moggie friends in Cyprus.

Regarding the penultimate video (30 October): Whenever the bloke goes away, Astro goes into a heightened state of alertness. He comes into the front room every evening to inspect the adult humans. If he finds me alone, he will go and sit on the mat by the front door. He curls up and faces me with his ears back, half-closes his eyes, and stays there until I go to bed. He follows me upstairs and curls up on the landing. I don't know if he stays there all night, but I often find him there when I get up in the morning.
If he sees both of us in the front room, he will come and stand on me for a short while, make biscuits on my legs, and then transfer to the bloke's lap, where he rolls onto his back and flops out blissfully. It's as if he can't relax completely if Alpha Cat isn't present.
Comet, on the other hand, couldn't care less about us in the evening. He's only interested if Humuhumu is around and has left her door open so he can sleep on her bed. When she isn't here, he walks around the landing and gives occasional plaintive yowls.
- What do you see when you are looking out of the window closest to you?
The canal lock. No boats coming through, though, it’s quiet season now. - Who was the last person coming into your room?
Astro. He is now lounging on the day bed, as is his wont (example below).
- What is the most predominant colour around you?
A gentle pastel green. It is very soothing. - What is right behind you?
A box containing a bunch of stuff that I need to take to work. Thanks for the reminder, meme. :/ - What is on today's calendar sheet?
More than I could possibly accomplish in one day, and several meetings of different types.

I took some liberties with the dates in this 1SE video so I could put in more footage from Maui. There are also a lot of cats. Not all of them are our cats. No one tell Astro and Comet.
Despite all the Welsh holiday footage, Astro managed to sneak in here quite a lot. Meeting the talkative long-eared owl was one of the highlights. She had many and varied opinions.
Vienna => home => Cambridge => home => Hamburg => home => Norfolk => home
Not a lot of Humuhumu as she's been away for substantial portions of this month. We'd all like a little rest from travel, I think, but it's not happening until mid-June.
I rather missed the boat on this one, apologies for its lateness. In my defence, we've mostly not been in the UK for the past two weeks.
April starts off quite domestic with lots of cat clips, and finishes in central Europe with lots of adventure clips. We travelled from [home] to Vienna, Austria via nine different trains, one of which morphed into a German rail replacement bus services which turned out to be terribly civilised.
A short but busy month, with trips to Wales and the USA. My face makes an appearance in there.
My 1SE video is late again! I'm not happy about that, but I am happy about the amount of cats, and about Spooky Season. Will be catching up on all of your videos tonight.
