I decided to share some of the photos I took this past Thanksgiving weekend when visiting my parents. Most of these were taken on two different walks that I took with my siblings. Lots of trees this way. )

Okay, okay, Tuppence didn't do any riding, but inspiration failed me when I was trying to come up with a subject for this post. In any case, I finally downloaded some photos I took on Easter weekend and thought that some of you might appreciate the sheer adorability of Tuppence. I was thinking especially of [personal profile] karen9, who always seems to enjoy my cat pictures:

It's been ages since I posted any cat photos, so I thought it was high time I remedied that situation. I was lucky enough to be able to get some rather adorable pictures of both Tuppence and Barnaby over the holidays and here they are:







Tuppence will sometimes cross her front paws in a wonderfully lady-like fashion.







Barnaby loves a box. I had an Amazon package come in this one
and Barnaby claimed it at once. Surprisingly, he's not in it.




It's completely exhausting when you're this cute.


I actually did take some pictures of the human members of my
family, but I had to promise not to post any of them...

I originally posted this on Facebook and then thought that I might as well share it on LiveJournal and Dreamwidth as well:


I've been staying with my parents during the COVID-19 pandemic, which turned out to be a blessing as my poor mom managed to do in her back again and has been struggling off and on with sleeplessness (though it's a lot better than it was about a month ago). Anyway, I've been trying to help out as much as I can, which has meant that my mom has made me her official head gardener. I know next to nothing about gardening, but I've managed to do a lot of weeding and watering. She's also entrusted her poppies to me. This has mostly just involved tying the heads of the poppies to bamboo sticks as they become ridiculously top-heavy as they grow. Yes, I apparently did think this was worth posting. )

Last weekend, I stayed with my parents. On Sunday, I visited the Guild Park and Gardens with my mom, sister and brother. The weather was beautiful, and I took a lot of pictures. When don’t you take a lot of pictures? )

Happy New Year once again! I thought I’d post some of the photos I took over the holidays... You know the drill. Click for the pics. )

Last weekend, my mom came to stay with me as it was time for our annual pilgrimage to the EX. She arrived on Thursday night, so we were able to have a really nice meal at Mexico Lindo and do some shopping in my area on Friday. We also went to see Dunkirk on Sunday. As some of you know, we always aim to visit the EX on the Saturday of the cat show, but this year there was the added bonus of some extra Canadiana because of Canada 150. Here be pics! )

I finally managed to dig up my digital camera and got a bit carried away this past Thanksgiving weekend... Clickety-click for the pickety-pics! )

I had my first guest come to stay at my new place on Friday. EX Weekend had rolled around again, so my mom and I made our annual pilgrimage to the CNE. It took a lot of work to whip this apartment into half-decent shape, but my mom seemed very happy with how the place looked. Anywaaaaaay, it was a fun weekend and a very welcome break for both of us. Click for pics! )

It's taken me close to two weeks, but I'm finally posting photos from my annual pilgrimage to the EX (Canadian National Exhibition). As usual, there are pictures of cats and sand sculptures. However, this year there are also pictures from The Game is Afoot: Consulting Sherlock Holmes Exhibit and a Virtue and Moir ice skating show (Bon Voyage! Aerial Acrobatic & Ice Skating Show). Well...I only managed to get three not-so-awful photos from the ice skating show, but I think I got some pretty good coverage of the Sherlock Holmes exhibit. She obsessively snapped pictures at a Sherlock Holmes exhibit. What a huge surprise. )

During Easter weekend, I managed to take pictures of some adorable bunnies cats. Thankfully, my sister is around to document family events as I didn't exactly get any human snapshots... Fuzzy wuzzy widdle kitties! )

No, I didn't lose track of time completely or just wake up from a three-day hangover. I'm just posting this entry later than I intended. Originally, I was going to post it shortly after Christmas, but I was busying cleaning my apartment for New Year's Eve, reading fic and Stephen Fry's More Fool Me, and slacking off in general. Then, for a couple of days after New Year's, I had mini-migraines because of my period (and possibly the weather), so I didn't feel like posting either. However, today, I've been migraine-free (so far) and feeling pretty chipper (e.g. my hormones have levelled out), so I'm blogging instead of napping (like the last two days). Wow. This sounds absolutely fascinating. Please, do go on. )

While recently visiting my parents, I saw Tuppence walking (or, rather, stomping) across the living room and the image of Felicia from The Great Mouse Detective popped into my head. I wish I were kidding. )

I took some photos last weekend during Canadian Thanksgiving, but I'm only now getting around to posting them. The majority of them were taken when my mom, sister and I took a walk in and around the Guild Inn. However, I did manage to snap some pictures of Tuppence with her mommy. They’re really cute. You’ll totally regret it if you don’t take a look. )

Just wrapped up another annual EX weekend with my mom. For those who aren't in the know, my mom comes to stay for the weekend every August so that we can take in the Canadian National Exhibition, though we always do other things as well. For example, on Friday, we paid a visit to my mom's favourite shop, Adornments on Queen and went to see The Hundred-Foot Journey. As usual, we both spent more money than we'd planned. I hadn't intended to spend any money in Adornments on Queen and came out with a beautiful wooden box and a tiny stone figurine of two cats. I had hoped not to buy a lot at the EX and came away with a piece of blue calcite, some fudge, two DVDs, two CDs and two large and heavy books, though Supernatural was a real find and, as my mom pointed out, the CNE only comes around once a year. I can also take some comfort in the fact that the later purchases were all discount items...Anywaaaaaaaay, we both had a lot of fun, and I know my mom appreciated the break.

Of course, no trip to the EX would be complete without some photos... Beware of fluffy felines and geeks in dresses. )

I've been meaning to transfer photos from my cell phone to my laptop for weeks now and finally got around to it today -- probably because it's a holiday. Happy Victoria Day, btw! :-) Because it’s me, you so know it’s going to be cats. )

I brought my camera with me yesterday when visiting my parents because I heard that Tuppence had started carrying bits of paper in her mouth and was playing impromptu games of soccer. Of course, I managed to forget to put the charged battery back inside the camera and didn't manage to get any pictures of Tuppence playing soccer. However, I did get these other shots using my cell phone. I think they turned out surprisingly well. Oh, suck it up. I’m a cat person. )

TUPPENCE!

Here are the promised photos of Tuppence (a.k.a. the adorable Persian princess). Warning: Content may contain images of excessive cuteness and fluff (literally). Viewer discretion is advised. )

I have a BBC program called Wonders of Life on in the background and caught this wonderful clip of the most adorable lion cub I've ever seen with the possible exception of the Rupert Graves lion cub from Pride. Yeah, okay. I'm hormonal at the moment. However, I'm sure that even without the PMS cocktail from hell in my system, I'd still be all gooey inside. Just had to share. Watch it, dammit!





The new cat is coming home tomorrow, and I'm hoping to see her on Sunday. My mom has decided on the name Tuppence (as in Tommy and Tuppence). Uh, she was apparently reading about Agatha Christie on Wikipedia and gained her inspiration from there. *g*
