I’m sure my week+ absence passed unnoticed, but ready or not, I’m back–with a new phone!  That mostly explains my blahg silence–new phone, new mystifying camera, i.e. no idea how to transfer photos.  But I think I’ve got it now, and it’s like night and day.  Wow.  Even pre-mastery of all the bells and whistles on a lower-end phone, the technical improvement is pretty impressive.  Where’ve I been, 21st C?

While I was out of it, the Avdi family lost a beloved feline member of 16+ years, Tiamat.  She was old and dying, and had to be put out of her suffering.  It was a sad loss, on top of my brother’s and BIL’s loss of their cat Slinky recently to similar circumstances.  It’s been a month of sad kitty goodbyes.  I think Misu can sense something, because she’s been ultra-affectionate lately.

This is Tiamat, in her favorite position, courtesy of Avdi.

On a cheerier note, here are my first photos on my new phone.  See how lifelike they look!!
