Georgi

Georgi is back with us for 2 weeks and it's really lovely to see her again.

Each time we see her, she's a little more mature and calmer. We're determined that this visit that we'll crack the integration with the cats with a strict 'carrot and stick' regime and she's already responding well.
Hopefully the cats will also stick up for themselves more, they only need to give Georgi a hiss and she backs off. Josie is predictably, the bravest with her and Putty the scariest.

These pictures of Georgi, looking absolutely adorable, were taken at 7.00 this morning whilst we were playing in the garden.
The wonderful mind within my Ipod that selects which tunes get shuffled was on tremendously eclectic form this morning, as I rode into work.
  1. Offenbach - Gaite Parisienne, The Can Can
  2. The Orb - Asylum
  3. The Killers - My List
  4. Bentley's Rhythm Ace - Mind the Gap
  5. Amy Winehouse - Addicted
  6. Massive Attack - Heat Miser
  7. Visage - Fade to Grey
  8. The Flaming Lips - One More Robot
  9. Miles Davis - Flamenco Sketches

It sounds really pompous but hearing the Miles Davis track, from the 'Kind of Blue' album, felt almost like a spiritual experience. It's sublime beauty, constructed with such spare economy, is haunting and can easily point to some kind of divine intervention. Each musician plays an equal contribiution to the authorship of the whole so I checked on Google to see who they were; John Coltrane and Julian "Cannonball" Adderley on saxophones, Bill Evans on piano, Paul Chambers on bass and Jimmy Cobb on drums.
