It's me he gets food from, not Dennis, and he knows this fact well!
Anyway, he came walking up to me on the bed and put an icy paw on my
arm that was sticking out from under the covers. He made a weird
little mrrrp and settled down with his 2 cold front paws pressed
against my arm. Seconds later, he wiggled his back end around so
that all 4 of his icy paws were pressed against my arm. He began
purring contentedly. When his paws were all toasty warm, he told me
it was time to get up and serve breakfast. Naturally I obeyed :-)

Poor little Vino is used to Thai heat, not Australian spring! What
a good servant you are

Spring? You've got the wrong hemisphere for that. It's late
Autumn/early Winter here, and Vino has quite a while to wait before
things warm up.

I realized that as soon as I hit "send" Ooops! Well, it's still Spring
here!

Yup. Here's a question. Why are they saying on the local news that the
first day of winter is June 1? Wouldn't it be June 21? In Canada that
would be the first day of summer so I figured it would be the opposite
here. I mean the solstice isn't going to change depending on which
hemisphere you're in. I'm getting quite confused...

It never made sense to me that winter didn't start till solstice.
Everywhere I've lived that had winter, November sure seemed to qualify.
And Spring and Fall never feel like they are as long as summer and winter.

It's been unseasonably cold here these last few days, so Soncek went
back to sleeping at my feet at night which he only does in winter.
Best wishes,
Polonca and Soncek

They've started calling May 24th th start of summer here now, although it
was a cool and wet 15° last weekend. But almost 34° this past week.
