Eric's Day Flashback - It's Snow Joke!

This week the flashback comes from December 2010 and is one of the few times we had snow and is called:
It's Snow Joke!

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.



Mum was not just content with turning us out in the snow, she had to film the indignity too. You can see at the end I saw the garage door was open and couldn't wait to get in, but I did do my full garden perimeter patrol first.
If the video doesn't play, you can watch it here.

Eric's Day Flashback.

This flashback comes from January 2010 and was from one of the rare occasions that we had snow.

We Got Snow!

Flynn: It snowed yesterday so mum asked us if we wanted to go for a walk in it. I couldn't see much grass so I tried to thaw it out by peeing on it.

Eric didn't realise what I was doing and went to walk behind me. He nearly got a wet head. Haha!

Eric: I don't know what happened to the long grass, it looks all short now.

Flynn: If it's short Eric, where are your feet disappearing to?

Flynn: I think I will sit here and watch Eric in the grass.....

....... and watch the horses eat their hay.

These horses would rather eat the frozen grass than their hay. They must be nuts.


This is our yard and some of the stables where the horses sleep at night.

Eric: That's enough of that. I'm going in to warm my toesies up.

Eric's Day - In The Snow.

We don't often get much snow here but when we do, Eric would like to go and check it out. I think only one or two of these photos may have been used in an old post.

Everything looked different so it all had to be carefully examined.

When he had done that he would have a rest under the patio table.

And when he was satisfied everything was in order, he could go back indoors to warm up by the fire.

Friday Flashback - It's Snow Joke.

 The Friday Flashback comes from December 2010 and was when we had our first snow for a 2 or 3 years and is called:

It's Snow Joke!

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.

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

Mancat Monday.

 Who put this nasty white stuff here? I am not going to walk on it.

Don't be such a wimp Flynn, it's just a bit of snow.

I'm not afraid to walk on it. Do you remember when we were younger and used to come out to play in it?

Actually maybe it's not such a bad idea to keep under the hedge.

Not so cold on the toesies.

Just have a quick check to see if there are any mousies about.

No, it must be too cold for them. Is someone going to carry me back over the snow?

Clear the way! Mancat with frozen toesies heading for the fire.

Don't forget if you haven't already voted, today (Monday) is the last day to vote in the two polls. Poll closes midnight GMT which is 7pm EST.

The Friday Flashback is back!

We stopped doing the Friday Flashback a year ago because we had flashed back up to December 2009 and would soon be catching up with current posts. After a year of rest it is back again starting with January 2010. We think this may be the only snow we see because this winter has been very mild up to now, but very wet and very windy. So here it it!

WE'VE GOT SNOW!

Flynn: It snowed yesterday so mum asked us if we wanted to go for a walk in it. I couldn't see much grass so I tried to thaw it out by peeing on it.
