Saint Denis Tour d'Animaux

So this week has gone well so far. I had a few tests which went as well as could be expected. Today was a half day, as Wednesdays shall always be, and after lunch with Spiri I took a siesta in the afternoon, as I require much sleep to be my best. Lately Spiri has been working on repainting the dining and living room, and from what I understand, I think they will be redecorating the living room and changing many things. Spiri keeps saying that she is looking forward to her "nouveau salon." So I suppose they will be making some changes. Michael came over today for a little while, he makes us all laugh. Tomorrow he will be staying for dinner, so needless to say it will be an enjoyable evening. Spiri will be going tomorrow to a pharmacy meeting in Brussels until late, so it will be Bruno, Michael, and me for Thursday dinner. It's becoming a new tradition.
This week and last weekend I have taken to going on bike rides, during which time I have taken photos of all the animals of Saint Denis. There are deer, kangaroos, chickens, cows, horses,and lots of little cats. (There are also geese, a few dogs, sheep, and goats, but I have yet to take their photos.) Every morning at 7:20 when I leave the Rossi residance there is a black cat that darts across the street and stares at me from under a blue Citroën. And on my way home from school, without fail another black cat sits at the end of the path leading to Rue Frébutte. None of these cats allow me to pet them though, save for one white and brown with blue eyes (in the last photo).
See below the fruits of my bike rides; the animals of Saint Denis.
Grazing cows.
Three kangaroos (one isn't in the photo).

Another herd of cows. 


Horses. You can see the yellow TEC busstop sign.
This is where I get off the bus every afternoon.


And this is the tunnel I go under on the way home...

The nice cat.



I really miss my dog Daisy at home, but I can sleep well at night knowing that my parents have loved on her, pet her, and treated her with all the love and care that she needs. I was happy to have skyped with her along with my parents last week, even though I don't think she understood. 
I love you, Daisy.
