Here we are at last on Christmas Eve: a hot, humid and windy. Big swells and a lot of the beaches closed thanks to ex-tropical cyclone Fina, in the far north. The cats don’t seem to mind and are all looking forward to the celebratory dinner of prawns and bbq chicken. Only one cat yet to arrive, Cairo just in time for a yummy dinner.

Here’s a song for you: The Twelve Cats of Christmas

5 shredded gifts
4 males a-spraying
3 missing Wise Men
2 mangled garlands and my 12 cats laughing at me
