Le chat d’aujourd’hui s’appelle Platon. Malheureusement, Platon a récemment disparu. Il habitait chez Mme. Corinne David, la gestionnaire de notre collège d’échange à Caussade en France.

Corinne habite un appartement au collège même et chaque nuit, Platon sortait pour faire la tour de tous les bâtiments et cours. Il revenait le matin, faisait miaou pour rentrer et dormait toute la journée pour renouveler ses ressources énergétiques. Il manque beaucoup à Corinne.

Adieu Platon.

On Eurovision night, I need to ramp up the excitement…

Here is SKIMBLESHANKS!!!! How totally adorable is this kitten who will shortly come to live with Alex Bellars??? I have threatened to eat her because of the irresistable cuteness, but Alex became seriously alarmed and disturbed.

I hereby withdraw all threats.

I  work with Yen-Min Anderson, who comes from Taiwan. At February half-term she married her husband in a beautiful ceremony in Bristol (I know it was beautiful, because I saw the photographs). As one does, Yen-Min got married again in the Easter break. Luckily, she married the same chap again, but this time in Taiwan. The honey-mooners took this photograph and let me share it with you.

Here is what Yen-Min told me: “[This] … is the cat we saw at a restaurant on Orchid Island. It was sitting on a sofa when we were browsing the handmade souvenirs at the restaurants. I don’t know its name, either. The cat is not afraid of people, so lots of tourists like to take photos of it. The restaurant is near the sea, so we and the cat could hear the sound of sea when it was quiet.”

Can you tell which is Tango and which is a cuddly toy? I had to look a couple of times. Tango lives at the home of three brothers who attend my school. Their mum Alexa kindly let me have some photographs so that Tango could have her moment of fame. One day I will post some pictures of her kittens.
Alexa’s oldest son leaves our school soon and I will miss him and the rest of his Year 11 French class very much.
