Where’s Felix? Mum often asks. She is pleased if I tell her he is on her bed.

On Christmas Day:

He inspected her walker which she brought home from Burwood Hospital.

December 23

After being out in the rain, Felix dried himself vigorously with the hand towel.

Friday 29 December:

He likes warm, dry towels fresh off the line.

Wednesday 27 December:

A felted wool coaster is fun to chew – without inflicting any damage, fortunately.

Tuesday 2 January:

Felix likes to patrol the perimeter.

Thursday 18 January:

Today, after a hot 32C day, he cooled off in the vegetable patch on the pea straw.

Friday 19 January:

We both enjoyed the cool back garden this evening, Felix on the lawn (the sprinkler now on the vegetable patch), and me in the egg chair. The last of the sun made the tree tops glow.
