Cat Rules.
Rule #1: the weather is my resposibility.
(Or, to put it plainly, the weather is my *fault*).
Came home to find The Great Hunter asleep on a chair in the living room - he must have decided that one soaking (yesterday) was enough for this month's quota.
After the requisite fifteen minutes of headbutting my (right) hand and covering me in fluff (I lost that battle a long time ago, now I am permanently Covered In Cat), he meows poignantly because he wants Out. NOW. Never mind I was actually busy doing something else.
We walk to the door, I open it - yep, still raining.
I get the dirty look that conveys his utter disgust at my propensity to leave the tap open - again.
Story of my life...
Work is still *interesting* (like in the Chinese saying), and not much else is happening.
Camera hasn't been out in over a week, and I will miss Brownsea this month - the island is not open to visitors from the end of October until March, meaning I'll miss the migration etc.
Just as well - haven't bought a better long lens yet, it would have been frustrating... Maybe.
A friend challenged me to go out for a day (my choice of ground), both of us armed only with a disposable camera - to see who gets the best shots.......:)
I guess that my mantra "It's NOT the camera, it's the PHOTOGRAPHER" has turned around to bite me in the unmentionables........*G*
Of course I accepted - and I fully intend to wipe the floor with him. Nicely, of course.
Off to catch up with all of you guys.......:)
