Jingle Bells

Bloggie friends!!!

Ever since I put my tree up I’ve been trying to get Charlie to interact with it a little!

You know do crazy kitty things like destroy it or something proactive like that!! But would he co-operate?

No he would not. Until tonight. When he knocked off a ball ornament and started chasing it around!

And guess what I didn’t have to hand???? My camera to capture the moment!! Talk about missed opportunities!! I could draw a writer-ly parallel but instead I’ll leave you with this:

Charlie eschewing his saliva drench catnip toy for his ol favourite one – Mr MacDoonagoogle!




I’m officially not at work anymore – YAY!! BUT I’m still very much in Blogland bloggie friends!!!!

I may be very late commenting on all your lovely blogs but I’m around!!!

3 ecstatic days to Christmas!

Techno, techno, techno- phobe!

Bloggie friends! I have a silly question!

Where does one store these little mini-memory cards from the digital cameras? Do they have a special Lilliputian case/holder preferably in pink that anyone knows about?!?!

Charlie says: I know this is an old pic because Mr Macdoonagoogle is intact!


Not to worry bloggie friends!! I just need to buy me another memory card for my camera to get new pics of Charlie! Yes - SHOPPING! Woo-hoo!

Have a whoopie cushion Wednesday everyone!

10 whole days to Christmas!!!

My Perfect Companion

I sought you out and you were brought to me
Looking lost and a little shy
Your preferences were a mystery
I had to start from scratch.

How to understand your little purrs
How to listen to your heartfelt sighs
How to brush your long fur
What toy you loved the most

(Mr MacDoonagoogle)!

Nearly four months you’ve been with me
A sumptuous eternity
Today you turn eight years old

Today I dedicate this post

To you my perfect companion

Happy birthday my glorious Charlie!

And a happy Fourth of July to my American bloggie friends!

Have a cracking Sunday everyone!

Little helpers

Today I finished my life-writing assignment : 2000 words - just in time for this week's deadline. Yay.

Only two more course assignments to go.

And I think I get a Certificate of Attendance! LOL! (kidding - it's for a degree, honest!).

Anyway, I owe my sudden unblocking of writer's block to these wonderful things:

A generous dollop of this:

and some of these:

And a few fun inspirational things going on in the blog world:

hampshireflyer's short story is about to be published in a forthcoming issue here .

KarenG has a new fab blog "From the Shadows to the Page" devoted to life-writing and all things auto-biographical.

A very short flash story about an eternal optimist here from kate m that made my day.

Amy's House of Cats' Virgil is gonna rumble on the 8th April in the Kitty Fight Club (oh yes!) so big cheers to him! What a manly mancat he is!

Buddy from Jan's Funny Farm (and I think Brian too?) have entered a really fun easter contest here where all things bunny and easter-like things are celebrated in surreal ways.

Love Meow has secured an interview with Maru the legendary box cat!

And Spring is firmly esconced in Kim's Musings on a Small Life part of the world - that's Canada to you and me. I mean look at that Giant Moth!

Of course there's the lovely Charlie as always, although today he had to wait patiently for me to play with him!

"Is she ever going to get off the pc and move Mr MacDoonagoogle already?"

Have a lovely Wednesday everyone!
