Ming the Merciless - April 2005

Sad news, I'm afraid, CatCam has broken and gone for repair. Hence there are no cat-snaps on this my last blog for a bit (I am been moved this weekend to a pad in the country, away from the madding city life of Arinagour... and about time. It has no electricity, phone and it's no-where near one of those scarey windfarms).
CatCam is only a year old and odd that a digital SLR, of good make, should be so cat-litter-ish. Before, as you can see in one of my first bloggs, I used a clockwork camera that worked even without a battery. So is all this litter we are being sold - and buying - any better? I'm not so sure. I'm going to use my Arca Swiss again this spring, a windup shutter and black cloth camera big enough for me to get into and use as a bird hide. Which reminds me, I'm getting peckish so it's time to find my bowl that's somewhere in amongst the boxes. Then I'll play the in-out game to stress even futher my stressed out humans.
Anyhow, no CatCam means I can't show you the summer flowers that have sprung up all of a sudden, the cuckoo's that have arrived, the last of the redwings that are flying north or myself doing absolutely nothing. It's a cat's life. Ming
