Find the cat

This was in Istanbul. There are many skins of big cats in this photo but can you see the small one with his skin still on?

Eastern Orthodox Easter

We landed in Moldova. The guys we became friends with when we visited last year invited us to come over for Easter. We are going to a monastery some fifty miles away from the capital. It is going to be an all-nighter with a huge feast tomorrow after many days of Lent.

It is becoming a tradition for us to go somewhere for Eastern Orthodox Easter. Last year we were at Ecumenical Patriarchate of Constantinople in Istanbul. Here is a photo I took there last year.

Fashion police

Apparently co-ordinating accessories is a minefield. There is a thin line between a hot new trend and a fashion faux pas. Bags, shoes and belts have been discussed excessively.
But should your hat match your walking stick?
