I'm Back

 I'm back and glad to be home.  Can you tell?  Mum thinks I am a bit quiet after my Cattery vacation, but that could be because the vet stole some bloods and gave me injections (my vaccination and some stuff for my knee).  I got my blood pressure taken - the first time it was high but there was a dog barking and I was scared, the second time it was normal.

The best bit was the vet said everything was normal which is good for an old girl.  So I sniffed everything at home.  cuddled with mum for 2 minutes and am now ready for bed.

Mum went to Aucland to see the rugby - All Blacks vs Australia.  It was very exciting cos we lost to Australia last week in Perth 47-26.  This week we won 36-0.  Mum enjoyed the match although it rained and was cold sitting high up in the stands.  Mum disliked that a lot of the audience booed when the Australian team came out, booed the kiwi women's player who won an award for the 50 games she played for the women's side and they booed the Prime Minister JacindaAdern.  It made her quite sad that the people attending found that acceptable. 

Anyway mum had a great weekend away with good friends and lots of wine and food, and now she is glad to be home with me.

I'm Back

Hello my lovelies. I am back from the kitty spa, and my mum is back from her holiday. I got a good report card from the spa, it said:

• Cute and quiet
• Ideal weight
• Eats food at own pace and gets on with the neighbours

So, I'm going to explore around the house and check out the smells. I'll try and check up on all of you in the next couple of days. It's good to be home!

Happy 100th post to me!! We have a winner!!

Yahhhhhhhhhhhhhhoooooooooooooooooooooo - I has drawn a winner for my 100th post competition - it is Jade!!! Jade from Lord Jaders you are a winner. Now Jades grandpop is a bit sick, so it might be a while before we hear from her. You just send me a comment when you get back on the internet Jade and leave me a comment. I was going to put more pictures up but blogger will only let me get this one up tonight.

Thanks friends for entering my competition. You all deserve prizes!!! Sadly I didn't win a Monty Q, Doing the Q competiton, but my mum says I am a winner anyway. My favourite was Flynn with his legs pressed up on the wall. There were so many cool pictures though.

So thanks for sticking with us during our blogging hiatis - but I'm back!!!

Oh miss Millie we have been going out to see the lunar eclipse. It was very pretty having a blood red moon and we could see it directly over our house. Mum likes to look into the sky as well. She has told me she has seen the space shuttle and Haileys comet as well as lots of eclipses (of course not looking directly at the sun during eclipses).

Me - I am more interested in birdies, mousies, bugs, spiders and ham.

I'm Back!!!

Hiya fanclub,

I'm back from the cattery. Again I got a good report card from them, but boy am I glad to be home. Me and mum missed you all - we have had a good internet break. I wasn't allowed down the stairs at the cattery, to log on and see what you had all been up to. Mum will tell you about her trip later on. This picture is of me doing my Full Monty - I am in the Monty Q competition. Unlike some of the boys who had entered, I have preserved my modesty by the careful positioning of one teddy bear. You may think it looks easy to do, but it is pretty tricky. Then your bean has to run real fast and get the camera, and keep you in the same position. Boy I am sure having a tough time deciding who to vote for!! There are some pretty funny ones and the competion is tough. (vote for me!). Great competion Monty Q http://doingtheq.blogspot.com/ .

So here we are at the 99th post - wow, I am pleased I have had something to say most days. I hope we have managed to make some cats and beans smile over that time. You sometimes wonder if anyone wants to hear about me. Thanks for all coming to visit me and for entering into my competition. Now mum has a big assignment due this week, and should be working on it now! So - she says I can leave this post up for a couple of days more, just to make sure you have all entered in.

100th POST COMPETITON

- You must be a cat blogger to enter (or if you can borrow one from a cat friend - you can enter too)

- Just leave me your name in my cat/chatbox or in the comments ie: My name is DARLING MILLIE - Please enter me in. (don't worry Millie - of course you are entered in).

-You can win prizes for you and your bean - I will draw the lucky name at the beginning of next week!!

So thanks for entering - I have almost 80 names now!! That is still a higher chance than winning the lottery.

My mum went to Melbourne (Australia) - just for a weekend of shopping, eating out and looking around the markets. She said it was fun and lots of people watching. It is only a four hour flight from home but she had to be up very early as check-in at the airport was at 4am!!!

Although she bought a few things, she thinks the shops are all geared up for the 15-25 year olds and have so much of the same stuff. She saw an awful lot of mutton dressed as ham (sounds yummy mum!!) ,and she thinks if you ever wanted to make a lot of money, you could start a shop for more mature ladies who aren't quite ready for angora cardigans. Melbourne is full of shoe shops too, that either have 8 inch heels or super flat sloppy shoes. Funny that you actually didn't see many people wearing either of those types. Lots of the clothes look like stuff her mum and dad had on their wallpaper in the 1970s, and although Micha Barton may look ok in maternity type tops, they are not really that flattering on anybody else. Is this a worldwide trend? Do 18 year olds dictate fashion now? Lots of Paris Hilton wannabes in Australia.

Glad I don't have that trouble mum - a collar is all I need to look fashionable.

It will be fun reading all your blogs and we will let you know as the draw is about to happen.
