Two Thousand Thirteen


I’m starting this new year with a new blog layout! There are a few minor bits I need to sort out but otherwise hope the new visually-focussed, responsive layout will make this blog easier to read on portable devices - definitely a new thing for me since I got an iPad mini for Christmas! :)

So.. this is Noël. W and I found him on Christmas day wet and hungry on the street. Strays are such a rarity here that we just had to take him in and clean him up. He’s about 10 weeks old and just gotten his first vaccination from the vet where we took him to make sure he didn’t already belong to someone (pets are mostly microchipped here) and he didn’t. So thanks to W’s mum he will be off to his new home in just over a week. Best news!

Hope your Christmas and New Year has been awesome! Back soon!

    I have been ‘aww’-ing over Noël on your instagram all over Christmas, he is just adorable! It was a wonderful thing you did taking him in & I’m so pleased to hear he’s found a home too! :)
    Love the new layout, it looks so much slicker (it looks great on my iPhone too!) & the orange accents are a really nice touch!
    I hope you had an amazing Christmas & Happy New Year too! :)

      Thanks Steph. Yeah it’s a nice feeling saving a little kitten but really just couldn’t not do it.. it was christmas and cold outside and he was crying outside our balcony!

      Hope you had a lovely christmas and new year too :)

    It’s a much cleaner interface - I really like it but I like Noel even more. So named because he was found at Christmas? Glad he’s got a new home. Hope you had a lovely Christmas and New Year. All the best for 2013!

      Yup! French for Christmas.. hopefully the new owners will keep the name, haha.. Aussies pronounce it “nowl” instead of “no-elle” so it’s a bit weird! Same to you lovely! x

    Noël is really cute! I’ve seen him on your FB photos! So nice of you to take him home, and care for him until you find a better home for him.
    Congrats on the new layout…It’s really nice! Although I had stopped getting updates from your blog on Bloglovin’ and I had to find the new feed and follow again. But I found out soon enough. I was trying to reach it all day yesterday, but I was getting a database error. Maybe you were doing some more changes…That’s ok. The most important is that I’ve now found you again, so I can read your posts, and comment.
