Gazing into the blue

The sky has been beautifully clear today. This evening I spotted the waxing moon under a contrail from an aeroplane - a rare sight these days - the contrail, not the moon!
On a sadder note, our adopted cat Mittens is AWOL. We last saw him on Monday evening. He hasn't been around during the day or night and his food bowl is untouched. When we first got to know him, he was a wanderer. He'd wandered quite a distance here from his home and spent a lot of time around our house and garden. I can only hope he is doing something similar at the moment and that he'll turn up soon. He hasn't been 'ours' for long, but we have already grown very attached to him.
