A quiet new years eve; Alan went to bed early and I stayed up and made candied orange peel. Our cat stayed up and harassed me for endless pieces of "kitty crack" which is some sort of freeze dried chicken breast cubes. She has an amazing range of vocalizations from little sweet peeps to low moans and loud barks commanding attention to urgent issues such as a kitty needing an immediate treat.
Asti visited us for a week before Christmas which was a delight as always and I chatted with both Andrew and Adam. Hopefully we will have visits from the boys in the coming year.
We're settled in to our new apt and the cat has claimed the garden as her fief.
