Samir, this photo is exquisite, and just the antidote I need this morning - already afternoon, sorry, and I'm not long up - after reading Anna Funder's 'Stasiland' until the wee small hours. I am abysmally ignorant of history, in particular the story of the Berlin Wall, so have been looking lots of things up on the Internet and am, needless to say, more and more appalled at human nature. So this beautiful creature, and not ignoring the skills and outlook of the photographer, give some balance.
It is indeed a wonderful thing being able to communicate with people all over the world. What interests me most is/are (?) the details of people's ordinary lives. Winifred, even though we live thousands of miles apart, we seem to lead similar lives, while you, Samir, must lead quite a different life in Nepal, though with many similarities. And Frank, I've had the privilege of actually staying in your home with you and Rose, and we do indeed, lead lives almost the same in many respects.
Mind you, living alone as I do, is different again. Even though the family is upstairs, I am actually on my own and consequently have hours just with my thoughts, which can be extremely difficult. It's hardly surprising that I look upon Muffy as my dearest companion and talk to or cuddle her whenever possible.

I wonder what would happen if Muffy and a possum ever came face-to-face. I somehow think Muffy would come scuttling home, screaming for Mummy! Many people have strong objections to cats because of their damage to wildlife, but Muffy is kept under strict control and is always inside at night or when I go out.

An amazing picture, I couldn't stop looking at it for a while and then felt sad as I haven't seen very many butterflies in our garden this year, and now we're rushing into winter with the clocks going back in a couple of weeks.
