Kitten update

It's about time I did an update on the progress of the kittens. First off, I have some really sad news, Vladkat went missing a couple of weeks ago and I searched high and low for her. I was told a few days later that someone had seen a small white cat dead by the road outside, I searched for her but could not find her body.

Sadly Vladkat is no longer with us :-(.

R.I.P Vladkat.

After a few days I deceided to get another kitten, seeing how Meowrie and Vladkat interacted and played together made me feel a bit guilty that Meowrie did not have a play partner, so I decided to get another one.

Say hello to James:

This is the first photo I took of James, he was very frightened at the time! He stayed in my bathroom for a few days while he got used to his surroundings and I could eventually pick him up. Initially Meowrie was aggressive towards him spitting and growling at him when all he wanted to do was be friendly. Now they are good friends! On another note I discovered that Meowrie is in fact a tom, so Meowrie will now be known as Adie.

Here are some recent photos of Adie & James:

Wakey wakey!

What time is it?


The morning stretching exercises.

Time to playfight!

Ready... fight!

This man should be in a circus!

I have seen this man a few times in Obuasi, he rides a bicycle through heavy traffic while balancing 3 or 4 bamboo poles on his head in what can only be described as an incredible feat of balance.

I was told that he was previously jailed for petty theft, since getting out of jail he bought himself a bike and most days he rides into the bush to find bamboo poles, he then puts them on his head and rides back into town to sell them. They are used as TV aerial poles.


Mind you, I would be much more impressed if he was riding a hicycle!!!

Swallows drinking and cooling down.

Yesterday was a holiday in Ghana (May Day). We spent most of the afternoon relaxing by the pool. I got the camera out and managed to get a few shots of the swallows drinking on the fly from the surface of the pool.
