I encounter all sorts of weather when cycling to work. For some reason, when it comes to wet weather, I describe the level of wetness on a three part scale based on the liquid effect on rodents – the three levels being ‘damp rat’, ‘soggy rat’, and ‘drowned rat’. (I suspect Mark Maclean and his interest in things found in the drain may have been the inspiration for my metric.)
Both yesterday and today was a ‘soggy rat’ ride.
I went to the zoo today. I was pleased to see some excellent signage reminding us that the safe distance to keep a toddler away from a fully grown African lion is 1.5m.
This wasn’t a set up … last night I found our cat asleep on the lounge room coffee table, with her tail wedged between the cordless headphone ear pads. What was she listening to? Cat Empire maybe?
I spotted this tiny spider today, posing as a miniature gargoyle upon the stone sphere at the entrance to Lambton Park on the corner of Morehead and Howe Streets.
Notwithstanding the date, I really did see this eel nonchalantly making its way down the drain in New Lambton Park today.

The cat, pondering my favourite beer – Leffe Brown.
Happy birthday kitty. Nine years old today. My how you’ve grown.
Some photo’s from today …
Who is that shadowy person?
‘Tis “The Sooty Retriever”, rescuing a bird trapped in the chimney.

No joke. This really happened today.
