Windy night

There was this lovely old apple tree in the garden opposite.

The mistletoe loved it, we loved looking out on it.

The mistletoe killed it before Christmas.

The wind took it last night...





And this morning while all was blowing outside, Logan decided that he didn't want to sleep alone...

Poor Trig, now he cant even sleep in peace.

Good job Lola was sleeping elsewhere otherwise there would have been a fight....

Kids

The kittens have settled in well.

Trigger has made a new friend, Logan does like to run under his belly, and there is lots of licking going on.

Trig tries to spend quality time in his bed asleep, and doesn't even wake up when a kitten falls on his head..






Lola has developed into a relaxed cat.

Unfortunately not long after this was taken her brother decided that he wanted to be on the top of the tower as well...

There is just about enough space for them both on the 'bed' but they are growing very fast.

They had their second injections today, and found their voices yesterday.


And the chickens are also doing well - there is no thing they enjoy more than a cob of corn in a brick.

Within five minutes there is just the husk left.

I have been doing some knitting recently. I was going to be good and update rav with details but I've got my yahoo id's locked, so animal photos will be it for a while.....

Happy New Year

Happy New Year All.

It is very difficult to take pictures of kittens that are not blurred !

Lola and Logan are both gaining confidence and getting more adventurous each day. Lola has learnt that looking out of the window is fun, Logan has decided that sitting under a set of drawers is the best place to be. They have also worked out that knitting needles move, yarn is tasty .....

Trigger spends a lot of time in his bed keeping out of the way, but is also enjoying the younger company.

New Year usually brings resolutions, I dont do resolutions too well but I am going to try and minimize my wips this year. If all goes well I should be down to less than five by the end of the day. One of those is my wedding ring shawl, that I'm determined to finish this year (I have said that before...)

Thanks to everyone who has read these ramblings and left messages of support during the last year, it has meant a lot to us/me.

I am hoping that this year is full of more good news than last. We did have a stupid offer on Neil's house just before the holidays, we are sending happy thoughts to the house and know that it will make a lovely home for someone.

Making life changing decisions continue here, the main one being do we want to live in Scotland or Wales ....

And now for some good news

Thank you for all the messages after my last post.
We were going to wait a while before we got some kittens, but independently we were both looking to see what was about...

So we went to look at the Cats Protection on Thursday, on Friday we had a home visit to check that we were suitable.
(there are now 5 bin bags outside)
And on Saturday morning we went to collect our new additions.

This is Lola (she was originally called Plum)














And this is her brother Logan.

As you can see they are enjoying themselves, showing not much fear.

They have investigated behind the dishwasher and also the washing machine...








This morning Lola was playing with her pink toy going round and round and round at speed.










At the same time Logan was climbing over me trying to get his teeth on the strap of my camera.

No growls at the dog today but we have had hisses previously.

Think little cat is going to be head of the house, and he is not three months old yet...
