The cats' Petflap draughtproof pet door is fitted! Videos will be out soon.
This shows a white Petflap with 35mm trunking set into a replacement panel. We've locked the door open to help the cats get the idea.

Tails, the brains of the outfit, isn't quite sure about this new contraption, but she'll be following her brother in and out in no time.
So, I rented a FLIR thermal imaging camera for the weekend, for the serious purpose of checking the windows and overall insulation of our house.
But you can also take cat pictures with this thing.

Happy #Caturday from Sparky and Tails 🐾 Sparky has discovered he can push a glass of water off a table and Tails got herself stuck up a tall hedge yesterday, so they're getting more mischievous the older they get, not that you'd know it from these pics 💙
"It highlighted examples of action that had helped to clean the air, such as China’s rapid switch from combustion engine cars to electric ones, the expansion of cycle lanes in dense European cities, London’s restrictions on dirty vehicles and Warsaw’s shift away from all coal and wood home heating."
