Friday Flashback and Caturday Art.

This week I have two short posts from March 2011, and were posted as Friday Favourite Fotos Flashback.

First post:18.03.2011. Photos of this post most likely from late 2000 to early 2001.

Eric: If you've got it, flaunt it.

Flynn: I prefer to be a little more modest

Second post: 25.03.2011

Eric: One of my favourite places used to be in the airing cupboard next to the hot water tank. I don't fit in there very well now though.

Flynn: You never could get right up to the top like me though.

Friday Flashback and Caturday Art.

This week the flashback comes from March 2011 and was called:

"Eric the Photographer", but we both took photos.

 Eric: It was Flynn's turn to take the photos this week but he said I could do it again if I wanted to seeing as I did a good job last week.



My first photo was of dad's roller. We have to keep well away from it when he has it behind the big tractor because it would be very dangerous for us.

Then I took a photo in Buddy and Silver's field, but they didn't want their photos taken so kept out of the way. Mum could have straightened the photo for me, but she said it is better to keep it the way I took it.

This is the far end of their field. Mum says you can tell when it is me taking the photos because you can see my whiskers in all of them.

I took a photo of my dad. He looks very tall.

I was fed up with taking photos so I had a roll in the grass. It made the sky tip sideways. Flynn said he would take over so mum gave him the camera for the next few photos.

Flynn: I took a photo of our dad to show Eric how to not make him look so tall.

Then I took a picture of Buddy and Silver's field, but they were still keeping out of the way.

On our way back I took a picture of my dad and Eric. Sorry dad, I chopped your head off like I do to mum.

Then we went in the field nearest to home and I took a shot of the top field where you can just see Snowdon and Danni.

On our way back to the garden I took a photo of the stables and Quest is looking over the fence waiting for his supper. After that we both went back in the garden to relax in the evening sun.

I did straighten this photo that Eric took for the art. I used Landscape at 60%, then just a touch of Illusion at 20%.


None of the other photos would really work for the art, so I chose this one from around the same time. I used Red Blush at 40%, then Emboss at 75%.

Friday Flashback and Caturday Art.

 This week there are two short posts from March 2011.

Back in the Old Routine.

Now the sunnier weather is here we have started going out in our plant pots again. The winter was so cold this year that the woodburner was our first choice.

Did you want something mum?

That's right! Now you have disturbed us with the flashy box you will go off again without so much as an apology.

The second post was an occasional Friday Favourites Fotos Flashback. and these photos have more than likely appeared before in different posts.

Eric: Do you remember the first favourite pictures flashback a month ago when mum posted a picture of tiny me next to Kitty YumBum? Well look how big I was beside her by the time I was two years old!

This is mum's favourite picture of us all together.

Friday Flashback and Caturday Art.

 The Friday Flashback this week comes from September 2012 when we took part in Meow Like a Pirate Day.

We Join the Fives Sibes with our flashback.



It is also dedicated to Jean who comments as "In Lucy's Memory". She lost her beloved Lucy on 18.09.2012. She leaves a lovely comment every week even though she doesn't blog. A few years ago she asked if I could post some photos in memory of Lucy for her, and I decided to do the same again this year. Thank you for loyalty, Jean.


Arrr, it be a strange thing. There we were thinking back on the year gone by when we stumbled over an object on the ground. Garr shiver me timbers! It be an ancient map.

I Cap'n Red Eric Nobeard looked away into the distance an' remembered times gone past when suddenly I heard an excited holler from my first mate Barnacle Breath Flynn.

BBF: Ahoy thar Cap'n! Tis a miracle! Look yonder and what do 'ee see? Tis a mystical island appeared next to the Bridge of No Return.

BBF: I be ready Cap'n! What be waiting for? There be untold riches waiting out there ripe for the plucking. Arrr it be time to set sail on our trusty ship the Ginger Furball once again.

So us got busy loading up with grog fur the journey and away we sailed.

The waters were calm and we were in no danger of visiting Davy Jones locker, and before long we reached landfall.

Us could see there was a lot of hard work ahead digging for buried treasure, so us got our kit off. Arrr don't get too excited ladies, us did keep our hats on.

It were worth the hard toil though when us found t' treasure chest buried deep below ground. Arrr there be riches a plenty in there to keep us in the good life with all the grog and wenches we could want for.
We left matey Boney guarding our loot while we refreshed ourselves with a mug or two of grog. If any scurvy scoundrel chances his luck with Boney 'twill be a bad mistake to make. Har Har Har!
