Real Zoo
Sunday sweet Sunday
Sunday it’s the only day of the week I can eat what I want and really like (damn diet!), even sweets and cakes. A new shop is appeared near the Zoo-house, and the look of its cupcakes was so awesome that we bought some.
My personal taster Pepe (actually just a sniffer) was very interested by the caramel one…and he was pretty right.
…Sunday is definitely my day.

Ray of light
Not too many years ago I was a teenager student in an Art school, where we had a black and white darkroom (because once we were used to print pictures) and one of the coolest teacher ever.
A day this teacher started talking us of Italian Neorealism and showed us the 1951 movie “Miracle in Milan” by Vittorio De Sica. As often happens, I didn’t think to that movie for decades…until yesterday, when stone cold I had a look to the Zoo-sofa and I saw Alice enjoying a single ray of light while other pets were sleeping under they warm blankets. That single ray of light made her looking so blessed…and a scene of that movie was utterly back in my mind, and thanks to Youtube I can show to you too.

Tea time and black cat
A year is gone and a new one came in.
In less of one month I have already felt blue, had the flu…but still haven’t any clue of what I should be doing to make things finally works.
As lots of other people I am now obsessed by things I would like to change in my life. There are many tasks I hope to accomplish in the next eleven months, I already know many of them will be miserly delayed to a date to be set, so the best strategy is staying focused on small goals:
- to improve my poor English (instead of letting it get worst year after year)
- to lose weight (yep!)
- to take driving licence
and possibly:
- to make Pepe understand he’s a domestic cat and not a wild panther caged in a small body.
Meanwhile (just to procrastinate one of the three points above a little more) I baked a (delicious) coffee cake and had a cup of the brand new “Prince Vladimir” tea with a friend in a cold winter evening…after all, the more things change, the more they stay the same.
Surgery done!
Here we are! Surgery is done, Asia is fine, resting and snoring beside me ![]()
It’s so nice to know she’s fine!
It’s also nice to see how other Zoo-pets gather around the one is just back from the vet, smelling him/her to understand if everything is ok. Even Pepe is quiter and for a while he stops to stay in ambush in the dark as a cougar in the jungle.
