Friday Flashback and Caturday Art.

 Before this week's flashback I just want to say that on 20th July it will be our 19th Blogoversary. Who knew I would still be posting all these years later!

This was our very first post.

This week the post comes from February 2011 and is called:

Flynn, the Photographer.

Flynn: We had some sunny weather at last so mum asked who wanted to go walkies, and of course we told her we both did. She asked me if I wanted to wear the camera and I said okay. I gave it to Eric half way through so he could take some photos too. These are all mine. Eric will show his next Thursday.

I took my first photo of mum opening the gate in the purrison fence so we could get out of the garden. She said the perspective is really strange because it looks like it barely comes to her shoulder, but in fact it is eight feet high.


We met dad in one of the fields so I took his photo too. His head seems to have vanished into the sky. I think maybe I hadn't positioned the sun right. I will try not to make that mistake again.

Then I saw Silver and Buddy in their field so I took a photo of them.

Then Eric wanted to go in the hay barn so I was going to take a photo of him but he was too quick and I only got his butt. (Top right corner.)

I went in the hay barn as well and took a picture of the hay turner and the barbecue. Mum managed to get a bit of herself in the way too. I hope you like my photos. Now Eric is getting better at it we will try and take it in turns every Thursday.

And a Wordless Wednesday for Eric from the same month. 

*For those that didn't know Eric, he had a passion for rolling in pheasant poop! The times I grabbed him and had to wash it off in the horse drinking trough! You can see it under his chin.

She's caught me at it again!

Friday Flashback and Caturday Art.

For a while I did a Friday Favourites Fotos Flashback which had photos that might not have been used in other posts

Flynn: Mum really needs to buy me a bigger paddling pool.

We both used to like to play with the water in the sink and drink it, but now we have progressed to the bath tap.

Eric: Yaaaak!! I wish I never ate that last mousie.

Sorry about the photo quality, particularly the last one but some scanned better than others

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?
