Mr Crumb had his first morning out since his injury. His knee seems to be about 80% - a little stiff when he’s been lying around for a bit. He enjoyed himself so much that he climbed under a blanket and slept the next five hours.

Trinket woke up early and was ready for tea.

Here’s another one of Trinket. Taken about this time yesterday when the late sun comes washing through the window of the little room where I work currently. Sometimes she visits and greatly enjoys standing on the table completely obscuring the screen and keyboard. But then sometimes she sits in the window and photosynthesises - as cats do. Got the Nikon adapter so I’m trying a very old Nikkor 50mm f1.4 instead of the Olympus Zuiko 50mm f1.8 I’ve been using for cat portraits ’til now.

It’s the sleepiest time of the day for the crepuscular ones.

@withoutaleaf in her office with her colleagues, Mr. Crumb and Trinket, doing script timings.

It looks just like our Trinket. But it’s actually her sister, Miffles, who lives with @sad_ivan. There are subtle differences. But in personality, Miffles and Trinket are pretty much the same pint-sized cats.

Spring is dropping hints all over the place and these guys are especially enjoying having balcony access.

This is Mr. Crumb’s sleepiest time of the day. And that’s saying something.

Carrying the new-old camera around, but until I get my eye in, I’ll just keep posting cat pics.

Every so often they sleep snuggled up like when they were babies.

Slow photography months for me. Today I spent a mind frazzling time learning about 5 months worth of Javascript in 24hrs. #fakingittilyouremakingit might be the single strongest way to learn. They should teach airline pilots that way. “Just get in the cockpit. Sound confident on the intercom. Google the startup procedure. One of our experienced pilots will email you back within two hours if you get really stuck. #bigkittens #gremmies #catsofinsta #salaciouscrumb #effietrinket #crumb #trinket #sleepycats #capesummer

Still too hot. Mr. Crumb’s strategy is to snooze until the heatwave is over.

So I had a brainwave yesterday. My 50mm f1.4 lens is so old that it will get stuck on my (very old) digital camera if I try to use it. But, aha! What if I put it on an extension tube? Well it works just fine at taking pictures of a grumpy looking Crumb. But it’ll only focus super close. .

Trinket got bigger in the last couple of months and is almost a full-size cat now. She’s still obsessed with playing and doing her little ‘social roll’ on the regular. .

Back to cat pics, I’m afraid. It came down in torrents last night. The dams are nearly at 60%. But the sun is shining beautifully for the liesured classes in Cape Town this afternoon. .

Since I had the 50 f1.4 on the camera I grabbed a pic of princess fuss-pot - aka Trinket. Unfortunately, because it’s an unconverted early 70s lens, I had to do some minor surgery to get it off the camera again 😬 #catportraits #effietrinket #trinket #princessfusspot #greeneyes #whiskers #f1.

Trinket’s up after a brutal day of relentless napping. She’s exploring the mess that house repairs have left the back yard in. Being a crepuscular creature, she enjoys the winter twilight.

Trinket - prolly plotting how to make us fret ourselves into an early grave by taking off over the rooftops again.

I don’t think they enjoyed being apart.

Crumb is pretty pleased to have his little sister home again.

Wicked little Miss Trinket is back home after turning us into shattered wrecks over the last three days.

The château. Skitten doesn’t like to be disturbed while Crumb is staying alert for sky-raisins.

It’s been a long day involving a frightening vacuum cleaner.

If it gets too hot though, a smart Crumb cools off with a refreshing raid on an unattended watering can. 💦 .
