Memories of Eric and Flynn

Friday Flashback and Caturday Art.

This flashback comes from February 2011 when the boys were taking photos once a week.

It's Thursday Foto day and that means I can show you some more of my photos from the past week.

This is dad's trailer that he takes behind his big tractor.

This is another view of it but mum managed to get her legs in my way. It was rude of her to not wait until I had taken my photo before she walked in front of me.

I wanted to take a shot of some rough ground and then I saw Silver in the distance, so I decided to include him. He is right at the top of the photo.

I decided I had taken enough photos for one day and was going to go home and check through them when I saw mum talking to Eric. It was too good an opportunity to miss so I took a photo of them talking to each other. It is a bit dark, but Eric is on the right by the post.

And a Wordless Wednesday from Eric.

Friday Flashback and Caturday Art.

This week the flashback comes from February 2011 and was a Mancat Monday. At the end it also has part of an earlier post showing Eric's mousie.

Eric: Do you remember when I was wearing the camera and I took the photo of the mousie I caught last week? This was me catching it.

Mum thinks this is probably when I took the photo of it. I wanted to eat it but she wouldn't let me because I ate one I caught two days before, then the next day I yakked up a black mousie hairball.

She took it away from me so I couldn't eat it, so I went back to see if I could find another one. I had a good look in his bed but it was empty.

Flynn was there keeping guard too. He was a little bit annoyed that I caught the mousie and not him.

I'll just have another look.

Maybe I will sit here and wait for his family to come home. I hope they aren't too long or I might miss my supper.

From a post a few days earlier.

ERIC'S BIG NEWS!!!

We went out again today and I wore the camera this time, and.................

I CAUGHT THE MOUSIE!!!
Eric: I grabbed him before he could get back down his hole and made him go dead. Then I carried him back to mum to show her how clever I am.
Tough luck Flynn. Who's the Mighty Hunter now?

Friday Flashback.

This week the flashback comes from June 2009 with photos taken from posts in 2007 and 2008. and is for International Box Day which was yesterday.

We were excited when we heard that Zoolatry were having International Box Day today cuz we both like boxes, duzn't everycat? We helped mum find all the photos on all her files so she could get our post ready in plenty of time. Then it nearly didn't happen when the compooter died, but mum looked through all her back up flash drives and we got the photos onto the laptop instead.

We've got a tattle tail about mum and the laptop before you look at our box photos. Mum usually uses the laptop on the sofa or at the table but because the PC isn't working, she put it on the compooter desk. She went to print something this morning and we heard her yell 'I DON'T BELIEVE IT!! NOW THE LAPTOP WON'T WORK!' Do you know what silly mum did? She pulled out the shelf with the PC keyboard and was typing on there, then she wondered why no words were coming up on the laptop. You would think she would learn after the first time wouldn't you, but oh no, she did it time and time again.
Anyway, that's enough of that. Here are our box pictures.

Flynn: Not long after we started blogging, Grr, Midnight and Cocoa had a competition and we won. Part of our purrize was this great box with shreddy paper in.

I love this box and I could smell my girlcat furrend Grr in it. It made the bestest bed.

I have even still got it now. When I sleep in it I dream of Grr.

Eric: I wanted to see what was so great about the box so I thought I would try it. I think it is a bit small for me.

Flynn: This is another good box but I don't have it any more.

It was very comfy though.

Eric: I seem to have a problem finding a box to fit me.

They all seem to have shrunk.

No, no success with this one either.

At last! A box I can move around in!

And another one. What do you mean, it's not a box? It's lovely and comfy with the washing in the bottom. If I close my eyes I can purrtend it is a box.

When I was younger and smaller I used to fit in all sorts of boxes.

Flynn: Bet you wouldn't fit in this box then.

This is a nice big box. It's where our Christmas tree lives when it's not Christmas.

Eric: You're right! It's big enough for two.

I had to go back into an old USB to find the original photos and was sad to see several had deteriorated over time, some with a grey band on and some completely grey.I most likely also have them on a small USB somewhere so will have to check them.
