January
The weather is beautiful throughout the month of January. However, our good mood is somewhat clouded by the news of the terrible fires that ravage Australia at the same time.
February
The month begins at top speed for Claire: she takes over the school management ad interim at the beginning of the month following the principal’s announced departure.
Zorro is celebrating his 7th Gotcha Day, and his commentathon for Etoile is a success.
March
The coronavirus, COVID-19, surges like a wave from China and changes the entire planet. On Friday the 13th of March, all schools in the canton of Vaud close. Another life begins for thousands of people in Switzerland: lockdown (getting out as little as possible), homeschooling, prohibition of meeting more than 5 people in public space, strict respect of social distances. In a way, our humans turn into cats, and adopt our rhythms when it comes to napping.
Pixie is turning 6.
April
It’s spring and the weather is beautiful for Easter.
We’re celebrating our 8th blogoversary.
May
Pixie celebrates her 6th Gotcha Day.
Students go back to school after 2 months at home.
June
Summer is finally coming, and the end of the school year is just about normal.
July
On 1st of July, Claire is officially appointed principal of the school.
Then it’s time for the holidays, and they’re more than welcome.
August
At the end of the month, it’s back to school, masked for adults.
Zorro is turning 8.
September
All these COVID-happenings have led to big life changes for Claire and Momo: as we told you, Claire is now the school’s principal, and Momo, meanwhile, discovered during confinement that the life as househusband suited him well.
October
We pass without transition from summer to winter before returning to a fall weather almost normal.
The pandemic is back in force, and the cycle of health closures and restrictions is starting again.
November
The “Laundry” operation ends after 15 years waiting.
By the time we say “phew”, we’re already preparing for Christmas.
December
We’re spoiled by Lola and Lexy for Secret Paws. Christmas and New Year are celebrated in small committee, COVID requires.
We wish you health for 2021 and hope that the COVID vaccine will lead to a more joyful and carefree life in a few months.
Happy New Year to all of you !
Happy New Year to all of you! I hope 2021 will be much better for us all.
Although we are closing the door on 2020, a small peek backward truly shows us a few good moments in the chaos and damage of the year … as we begin 2021 perhaps we should hold on to the good things, things learned through hardship and pain that can make us better and stronger. We do welcome the New Year with hope for all, for health, for safer days, for common sense to prevail in our human community.
To you and yours, Happy New Year.
