We had to say goodbye to Telstar today.

He was off this morning, and went downhill with alarming rapidity. ( medical detail ) They would not have let us take him home in the condition he was in, so we had to make a decision we did not expect to have to take for years. He was twelve.

( final photo )

It would take me hours to compile a set of photos of him, so I have been browsing the "catmother" tag and occasionally laughing through tears. Catmother on DW, Catmother on LJ

He was a tremendous cat. The classiest tuxie. RIP Telstar.

On top of the election results, today we learnt that Trevor Beek (smiling man in the blue polo shirt), member of the space magnetometer lab for 52 years and Royal Society Hauksbee Award winner for his long service to science as a technician, passed away after a short illness. Power supplies that he built, transformers that he hand-wound, have visited most of the corners of the solar system.

I worked with Trevor for over a decade, and I cannot recall a single moment spent in his company that wasn't a pleasure.

I am in bits.
