innocent karate

Got my innocent news email earlier and on it was a link to a karate chop on YouTube but this one is so much better.
I know you shouldn't laugh but you just can't help it!!!

pretty pictures

Having a quick look round some websites and came across www.lime.com and on here is a cool place with lots of pretty pictures. I can't decide which group is my favourite but the forest set have been scrolling around for sometime now!!

TZ

Here is the first picture of TZ, it will hopefully be fully working again by the end of the month.

This is where it came from.

cat hut


















As you can see it is quite palatial in proportions. We got it from here.

moomins












Had to share with you this picture of these moomin glasses that can be found on this website along with lots of other funky moomin stuff (if you search for moomin)!!!

up and down weekend!!

Down - We got the results back from the tests on the lump removed from Jake last week and unfortunately it wasn't good news, the poor little mite has lymphoma cancer; a very aggressive and nasty piece of work with basically no cure, however he doesn't have feline leukemia which is often linked to this type of cancer.
As a new lump had started to grow within only days of the first being removed we have decided not to have this or any further ones that appear removed, as new ones will only grow and replace them. To see him run around the house like a mad man (he has finally learnt to power slide on the wood floors!) you would think there was nothing wrong with him, and hopefully he will stay this way for quite a while. We are going to make whatever precious time we have left with Jake count. He is going to be spoilt more than he already is
Sorry to depress you but I needed to write this down...

On the up side - our Twilight Zone pinball was delivered and installed, the only thing is the sound has stopped working but that's what you get for buying a machine that's 15 years old and has been used and abused. The company we bought it off though are coming back to spend a day trying to sort it out.

The other thing that arrived was Jake and Spindles cat run (bad timing or what, but we felt as the poor bloke had built it specially for us and was driving all the way from Chesterfield to Lancaster we couldn't cancel it), it does look really good though and fits the space perfectly.
It has a completely covered bit for them to have their food, litter tray and bed in with a small opening for them to climb through to the open bit but this still has a proper roof over it to protect them from the rain not that I would put them out if it was - I said they were spoilt. Jake and Spindle were not impressed at first being turfed off their nice comfy chair and put in the hut as it has been christened. We've put some big lumps of driftwood in the open bit for them to climb all over but it didn't take Jake long to realise that he could climb up the wire mesh instead and let go, but not until his sister was below him so he had a soft landing!!!

Pictures of the TZ and hut will be on show soon!

changes

Felt like a change today, needs a bit of messing around with to get it just right though.

Jake did well after his operation, he was so cute on friday night just how a p***ed cat would look like I imagine. He must have been given some really powerful drugs as he found the cupboard doors in the kitchen very interesting when he wasn't sat staring at the floor!! Bless... (A picture will be posted soon when Minnie (the Mac) decides to behave and not keep shutting down on us, I don't think she likes Lancaster!)

The vets were very wrong however as they promised me it would be about a week before he was running round thinking our house is part of a grand prix race track, the peace and calm lasted until Sunday lunch - do you think I can get a refund?

quiet times

Not posted for a few days as nothing much has really happened in the land of princess yukki until today!

Jake has to go to the vets this morning for an operation to remove a lump from his "armpit", not sure how we're going to keep him quiet and calm after the op, blacktinkerbell did suggest a straight jacket - does anyone know where I can get one!!!

Very exciting news is that our Twilight Zone pinball machine has been restored ahead of schedule and will be delivered next week, I'd better get the dining area cleared of books then.

Over the last couple of weeks I have planted loads of veg seeds for my ickle veg patch that I am going to have in my new garden, this weekend will see me planting up some peas, tomatoes, asparagus peas, celery and some 'erbs. I'll post pictures of their progress.

On the subject of pictures, we've finally got the computer set up at home so I can start to post some of the pics I've taken recently as I did promise to post a pic a day quite a while ago now.

That's all I can think of for now that's worth talking to you about, I promise to be back sooner rather than later.
