Friday Flashback and Caturday Art.

 Just two 1 photo posts and a short post this week, both from December 2010.

Eric: Almost Wordless Wednesday.

Eric: Me and my friend Silver.

We have posted this photo before but as it is one of mum's favourites we thought it was worth posting again.

Flynn: Introoder poof Tail.

I was out in the garden late the other night and suddenly mum heard yowling and swearing so she ran out with the torch. She saw me on the hedge puffed up to more than ten times my usual size, then she saw the introoder inside our purrison fence. It was shadowy and the torch was a bit dim so she isn't sure whether it was a fox or a floofy dark brown cat. Dad said it was more likely a cat because it would be harder for a fox to get over the fence. Mum yelled and it ran off under the bushes. I went to chase it but she yelled louder and told me to go indoors. After a while my fur went back down and I had some supper, but my tail refused to de-floof.

Mum's note: The fence is eight feet high and not easy for the boys to climb over as the horizontal timbers are on the outside so they can't get a foot hold to get over. However that makes it easier for cats on the outside to get in although that has only happened twice as far as we know.

This was an Easy Sunday and the last photo with snow in that I am going to show!

Mum took us for a walk in the snow and we weren't impressed.
Flynn: Will someone please open this gate and LET ME IN!!!

Eric: As soon as we could get away we rushed right back indoors to spend our Sunday the way it should be.

Flynn: We hope you have a nice relaxing Sunday. I will once my toes thaw out.

Friday Flashback and Caturday Art.

 This week the flashback is from December 2010. I showed a video of Eric in the snow a few weeks ago from the same time.

Snow is not fun!

When it snowed at the weekend, mum asked us if we would like to go out and play in it. IS SHE MAD??? We used to play in it when we were young and foolish, but we are older boys now with more sense. Anyway, she chucked us out the door! That shouldn't be allowed surely. Oh okay then, she opened the door and we made the mistake of going out to check it out.

Flynn: I ran right under the hedge where there was no snow.

Eric: And I went under the swing hammock.

Flynn: Mum kept trying to get photos of me under the hedge, so I had to move away from her. I tried to keep my feet out of the snow.

When I got to the end of the hedge, I had to walk on the nasty white stuff.

Yuk! I do not like this cold stuff one bit.

I don't care what she says, I'm heading back indoors.

Eric: Good idea, I'm coming too.

Okay mum, so we've been out and walked in it, now take it away again.

Hang on a minute Flynn, there's an interesting smell here.

For goodness sake Eric, never mind the smells, lets get back in by the fire.

Friday Flashback and Caturday Art.

 This week Eric gets the main flashback which comes from December 2010 and it is called Forbidden Sunspots.

Yesterday when I got caught checking out the Bonsai tree, that was not the only reason I was caught out. Can you believe we are not allowed on the worktops? You only have to look to see that it is the most wonderful sunspot and mum thinks I shouldn't be up there. Madness!!!

Anyway, after I had enjoyed the sun for a while I decided to see what the little tree smelled like.

Then I checked to make sure it had enough water. Nope, looks too dry to me. Mum should be grateful that I let her know it needed watering instead of making me get down.

This is the Bean's Christmas Cactus. It used to belong to our dad's mum and is very old. They brought it with them when they moved when dad was a very small boy so must be at least 60 years old. It lives in the porch. Mum just put it on the worktop to take the photo. It lives outdoors in the summer and has often had big pieces broken off when we get strong winds, but it seems to survive everything.

Update 2025. Probably 75 years+ by now, but getting smaller as pieces die off.

And a short post for Flynn also from December 2010.

Easy Like Sunday.

I am just going to have a quick wash.......

....and then I am going to put my feet up for the rest of the day.

Remembering Eric

Forever loved, never forgotten.



So sadly missed. It is impossible to think you have been gone from our world for almost as long as you were with us.

Friday Flashback and Caturday Art.

Ooops! I forgot to add the art but it is there now.

The main flashback this week is from December 2010 and features Flynn who once again goes crazy for nip. There is a video at the end for Eric.

Mum said I was being rude by blowing her raspberries right after she gave me some nip. It's not my fault, nip makes me do funny things.

See how blurry my head looks? That's what it looks like from the inside for me as well when I have a bit too much nip. Wait, what am I saying? There is no such thing as too much nip. I don't have a nip problem.

I was attacking my nippy carrot then somehow my leg got in the way and I attacked it by mistake.

Carrot will pay for that, he's going to get a good bunny kicking now.

Look out!! I just saw a flying pig on the curtain pole.

Umm, what happened, what's going on and why am I sat here?

Oh yeah, I remember. ATTACK THE CARROT!!

Help!
Mum took this video 3 months ago and never got around to posting it. Flynn is a very good tree climber and can run down as fast as he goes up. Mum tells me I am like a camel in a tree so I wanted to show her how well I can go up there too. Uh oh, I forgot I am not very good at coming back down. She has had to help me back down several times and thought she would have to get the ladder for me. Don't worry, I got down safely on my own right after the video ran out.
If the video won't play for you, you can see it here.
