Hello! I think I have excelled myself in the length of time between posts. However, I could not let another day pass without celebrating the old boy’s recent birthday.

I’m not referring to my True Love, but to our youngest member of the household, Fynnie Puss. Fynnie Puss is not actually a cat, but a Finnish Spitz, so that makes him rather like a cat in nature. He loves his couch, especially in winter.

The big news is that he has turned 10. Can you believe it? Here is a quick snap of him.

Not a bad photo, eh? The other big news is that I’ve got a new camera and I feel so relieved. I have barely posted a single photo taken with my other fancy new camera and that is because it is sooooo heavy. I can barely hold it for more than a few seconds. Most of the images are blurry because of my tremor so I have faced the reality that it isn’t right for me. I’ve gone back to Micro FourThirds and although I’ve only taken about 20 photos in total, I think this new camera will be much better for me.

So the moral of this story is that time passes, even for Fynnie, and bigger is not always better.

I hope you are all well, especially my friends on the other side of the world living in an inferno. In my part of Australia, Canberra, your discomfort (or hell?) means that winter has finally arrived. It is bliss, at least for a month or two before our hot weather arrives again.

Take care, everyone.

Kind Regards.
Tracy.

  1. Flynn is a handsome boy. And that color-coordinated blanket….perfect. Lovely photo.

    A lighter camera makes all the difference, doesn’t it?

    Enjoy your winter, Tracy, however short it may be.

  5. Every one needs a colour coordinated dog and household furnishings Tracy. Glad you are surviving the brutality that a Canberra winter brings. It’s starting to get cold here at nights mainly so mornings are hard to take. My hands are so cold.
    Glad you dropped in and are ok 😀

      1. It’s early waking for me. Always have been a morning person. Trouble is I am also a night person 🙄
        I have a nice mohair pair but find typing difficult. I haven’t had rain for all this month, it’s all been on the coast

  6. The colour brings out the best of the old boy. Yes, you have outdone yourself with the time between posting news. Good to hear about the new camera, and I have no issue with strength; I find those bigger cameras too heavy and clunky.

      3. Yes, we have another dog. She’s probably almost 8 years, and was rehomed when someone couldn’t keep her any more. We really didn’t know much about her except that she needed a home–and we needed another dog. She’s almost the opposite of Gem.

  12. Lovely shot of Fynn, Tracy.

    (and yes, those fires sound horrific over in Europe. My Canadian friend said, while the wildfires are not close to her in Ontario, the smoke in the air over their town has made it almost impossible to go outdoors).
