The humans bought some flat pack shelves, so Stanley and I decided to help with the construction. Stanley sorted and looked after the bits, while I tried to make sense of the instructions: Then I had to make sure we had all the right tools for the job: This automatic doohickey made things a lot…

Last weekend, my primary human and I went on another glorious reading retreat, this time in Somerset. It had been quite a stressful few weeks, but my human immediately felt better when we arrived in our room to find this:     The view from our bedroom window was very soothing as well:    …

Last weekend, my primary human and I travelled to Eastbourne for our fifth reading retreat. The house we stayed in was pretty fancy: We moved around quite a bit over the weekend, reading in bed and in the smaller reading room, but this was our preferred spot: Other readers took up position in the large…

This is my friend, Trent. He’s a Morale Officer in the department where my primary human works. He’s named after Trent Park, which is where my human broke her ankle falling off a horse, after which Trent came to live with us. And, earlier this week, we got a new member of our family when…

The humans and I headed down to the south coast for a few days for Christmas with the family.

Chefchaouen is called The Blue City, and it’s easy to see why: Our hotel was not actually blue, but it was also set slightly outside the town on a hill. It was still extremely pretty: But once we got into the town proper, there was plenty of blue in evidence all over the place: Chefchaouen…

Our next day in Morocco started with a tour round the Roman ruins at Volubilis: My human was particularly interested in this as she studied classics a lot and has some familiarity with such sites: It was a beautiful day and the ruins looked very lovely in the sunshine: Then we made our way to…

A couple of weeks ago, my primary human and I went on an exciting trip all around Northern Morocco. We started out in Casablanca, where one of the first things we saw was a Catholic cathedral, which was a little surprising, though it ceased its religious function in 1956: Next we made our way to…
