New Zealand

We arrived home to find a bumper harvest from our cat Nyoman. Marie (my friend, schoolmate and travel companion ... turned catsitter and housesitter) had been harvesting the hair from the cat each time she was being combed. Perfect timing as it was spring and she was moulting.

While it will be some time before we have a hyperallergenic pillow, I reckon we are making good progress.

I left for Perth on my own today as Kim was staying behind for another day to ensure his mother was well enough before joining me.
