A Flashback, A Surprise and Caturday Art!

Before I do this week's flashback I want to show the lovely surprise that arrived this week.
In the New Year, all at Bionic Basil's HQ decided to send out a surprise package to each of the first 10 commenters on that post. It would be a surprise when it would arrive but it would be sometime before Halloween. You can read about it here.

The parcel was packed full of goodies, a BBHQ mouse mat which arrived at just the right time as mine has worn very thin. A cute cat note pad and gel pen, a Mandala colouring book and a beautiful bracelet with a cat paw on it.

A close up of the pen and bracelet. I should have put the bracelet on a plain surface as the photo doesn't do it justice.
Thanks so much to the PA and all at BBHQ for a lovely surprise which brightened up a dreary day.
I am going to have a paw it forward too. We started blogging on 20.07.2006 so all those numbers added together make 17. The 17th commenter will get a gift from me.

Now for the Friday Flashback. These are all one photo Tummy Tuesday posts and mostly from 2007.

26.06 2007. Eric and Flynn:
We should have called this double Tummy Tuesday because this is two tummies for the price of one. This was the only sunspot so we had to share it.

3.07.2007  Flynn:
I wish that sun wouldn't keep moving away from me.

10.07.2007  Eric:
After all that work yesterday I have had to take it easy to recover my strength.
Some of you seem to think that I am Flynn's older bigger brofurr. Well yes I am bigger, but we are the same age and have the same mother. It's understandable that you would think that because Flynn doesn't have the same sense of responsibility as me and just wants to play like a little kitty all the time. I don't mind this as long as he keeps me supplied with yummy mousies.

I wish it was summer again so I could lie here in the sun instead of lying in front of the fire.

24.06.2008  Eric:
What do you mean, it's time to get up and go for a walk. I am comfortable where I am!

I am joining Sandee at Comedy Plus for the Feline Friday blog hop.

I am also joining Athena the Cat Goddess for Caturday Art.

I started with Flow at 60% then added K2 at 40%.
Of course there is a puzzle.

A Surprise in the Post.

The postman brought a package for my mum which said it was from Basil and the Hoard. She was very surprised because she wasn't expecting anything.

When she opened it the card said that the Trout Towne Tabbies had won it but had asked for it to be sent to me and my mum to cheer us both up.
There was a lovely charity calendar with Basil and Moet the Blind Cat on the front page. Every page is beautiful.

There was a present for me too which is this lovely pink hedgehog from their Etsy store Kit Knit Cos Play.

Oh hello, what's this?

Where did he come from?

*sniff sniff* You smell good.

You taste pretty good too.

Yes, very good!

I'm glad you aren't prickly like the other hedgehogs. Your prickles are nice and soft to chew on.

I've got nice pink tissue that we can lay on together and have a little snooze.

Thank you basil and Tabbies.

A Present from Basil and Parsley.

When it was Parsley's birthday, Basil had a giveaway for 3 winners to get a hardback copy of his book, Basil the Bionic Cat, and we were one of the winners!

Here is the book which I will let my mum have as long as she reads it to me.

I got a prize too! Look at my lovely tissue paper, and it's my favourite colour, green.

*sniff sniff* I wonder if that is Basil I can smell, or maybe Parsley.

Maybe I can use it as a pillow when I nap on my nice new paper.

I think I had better rub some of my own smell on it first.

Thank you Basil and the gang and your mum for the lovely paper and mum says thank you for the book.
