Coffee break!
In light of my recent reading (“A Cheetah’s Tale” by Princess Michael of Kent), here’s a cheetah on David Letterman’s show:
“Our” street dog from Turkey, the one who adopted us, was part Anatolian Shepherd:

He’d follow daughter to the park and scare away any strangers. He was very suspicious of my visitors. He hated cats but never touched mine, even though it was clear he wanted to. One more dear friend we had to leave behind.

Good morning all. I'm racing round trying to get organised for the next few days.

One load of laundry done, the second in, the ironing pile is growing.

Paperwork for tomorrow's full day of school governor meetings finally completed.

And then Wednesday to Saturday I have the trade show for my other (IT) forum and I'm trying to make sure we haven't forgotten anything!

I'm off to physio again shortly. Hopefully this will help me survive until next Monday!

Unfortunately this is the state of Cape Town currently. It just makes me mad that the government knew this was coming along time ago and they did nothing about it. They should have been looking at desalination plants and aquaducts etc along time ago. If they had we would not have been in the situation we are currently in. We would have alot more ways to get water already available.
The city is growing I suspect and the water resources not. That is a bad fault of the government not too see what will happen in the future.

Good luck with the trade show and physio, Linda! Hope you feel better soon.

The cheetah is adorable.... I want such a big cat.:D I have known before that they can get very tame.

The Anatolian Sheperd protect sheep against wolfes and bears. Why not against cheetahs to save their lifes from being shot by the farmers ? But the problem is everywhere the same: The natural habitats for wild animals are getting smaller and smaller because of the expansion of towns. The losers are the animals in all cases when they will not be protected by law.

The story of your dog in Turkey is sad, or does someone else takes care of him after you left Turkey ?

Our neighbors are looking after him. They said they might take him to their school which they’re building now, but he’s an old, untrained dog. Not sure how that would play out. :/

Our days in the park all looked pretty much like this:
