Really Busy the past few weeks

It’s being a long time without an update. Well, a new job is so completely absorbing that there's no time for anything else really.
Also, the new kittens - arrived on 23rd July - were a handful and used up all the remaining time. Funny that I never got to take a picture of them yet. This is a pity of course, as they were really, really small at 4 weeks!!!
They could comfortably sit in the palm of one hand :-)
The main reason I didn't post about them though, is that they remained "nameless" for so long!!!
While on holiday I had Zoy and Zulu as the set names. But hey, Ayo the best friend and best cat-sitter in the world just wouldn’t like these names at all. Something about how sad it was that all of their names were to begin with a "Z".
Funny that - that is why I liked them... however, the first time Ayo caught me calling Zeebee "Zoy" he actually won the names-battle... I cannot possibly get confused when calling them out - just don't like it.
So there it stood - for a long time - the name discussion... but of course I didn't like any of the suggestions (too trivial: Mr. and Mrs.; Black and White; Widget and Muppet; and so on.
Eventually Ayo had enough, so after almost a month of cat-sitting he went home for a week or so - and I was left alone with the cats... at this stage giving them a name was absolutely imperative, otherwise all the conversations would have been with Zeebee, excluding them completely.
(Yes, it does sound weird, but if you like animals for real, you do indeed talk to them!)
So left to my own devices here's the names now: Leone (Leo being an acceptable "English" sounding alternative) and Musetto (literally translated in "little face", and "Muesly" or "Moe" acceptable English alternatives if Ayo really, really doesn't want to call them Italian names).

So, having decided on their names after so long, I suppose I'll get round to filming them as well - but not sure why, there's something that is stopping me in taking pictures... ah well - will do when I'm ready.
