My husband is busy packing his suitcase for our trip and he called me into our bedroom, saying ‘you must see this’. I knew it would be a photo opportunity and grabbed my camera.
Obviously Smokey doesn’t want us leaving him and he wants to come too but don’t think we’ll really have room for him! Isn’t he cute?


Over the next few weeks Graham and I will be visiting various places in Canada. I’m speaking at a conference for Virtual Assistants in Niagara Falls and after that a tour with APT.
If you drop in here now and then over the next few weeks I’ll post updates on our trip with some photos for you to view.
We’re looking forward to our break - it’s been nearly 2 years since our last holiday overseas and we are definitely in need of a holiday.
The other day my husband was talking about our cats and how a workmate had an interest in a cat like one of ours.
We believe that Smokey may be a ragdoll cat or perhaps a part-breed. He demonstrates all the qualities of these cats and is very sociable, friendly, and just flops in your arms when you carry him around. He doesn’t wriggle and squirm, he just lies there in your arms. Or he sleeps on his back with his legs wide open like he hasn’t a care in the world. He’s a very trusting cat.
He also loves to lie around in the office and be really near to us although not on our laps - most of the time. Smokey is now 4 years old and the photos below are from kitten to current.
