Rather unexpectedly the cats love the sight and sound of small radio-controlled helicopters! They hang about on the arms of sofas, or high on the mantelpiece, their tails flicking as the micro machines hover and dance around the living room. Their heads follow each circuit of the room.
They are sensibly wary of the swirling blades, but when the helicopter lands or crashes they drop to the carpet to approach and sniff the machine...
Today I decided to get a slightly bigger helicopter - a Lama 5.
I must remember to take a photo of it before I have my first crash!

Zoomer on Putney Heath
I thought it might be fun to try the new 50cc Honda Zoomer on Putney Heath, so with Kyle's help we made this little video. The camera on the bike is an Oregon Scientific 'helmet-cam' whilst Kyle provided some steadier shots with my Panasonic Lumix.
The video was put together very quickly to teach myself how to use KDEnlive - a free video editor for Linux...

Bushka sees snowflakes
This was today, Easter Day 2008, in London, UK.
We awoke to snow falling. Both cats could barely believe their eyes; they jumped from the bed to the window to try and catch the dancing flakes with their paws.
I took the above video - edited it in kdenlive - and posted it to Googlevideo. This is my first link to a video.
