This is proof that times are hard - a plastic tree in the School Hall

Festive Photo Frenzy - Day 7

I confess that this photo was taken yesterday, and will put up extra ones later to make up for it... too tired today.

This is a shot of the end of the walk home last night - and it is festive because it's of the season.

So there!


zzz zzzz WAH?

Today I am ridiculously tired.
The sort of tired that makes you dizzy, makes your knees fold up under you. Yay for caffine based products...
The reason for the tiredness is partly because I didn't finish adding photos to the parkrun event report until silly 0'clock in the morning, and partly because of  cat created insomnia - see the video below for roughly how it goes - only in  my world there are 2 of them, and they do the same when they want to be let out as well as when they want food. *sigh*

Festive Photo Frenzy - Day 6 - The Great Escape....

Today I didn't go to school.
Instead I went on a practical standardisation meeting.
In Covent Garden.
Which finished whilst it was still light, but but too late to get back to school before the end of the day.
Wasn't that a shame!!

Not surprisingly, there were a lot of very pretty Xmas Decs around, but I was looking for something a bit special ... and then I saw something that I actually thought I was dreaming - in the pic I was reviewing there seemed to be a cat on a man's shoulder...surely not, right??? A quick zoom in and ... omg... a cat in a Santa Suit.... I went to say hello, and I was utterly smitten.

Such a Beautiful Kitteh

This is a friendly Kitteh, he likes tickles.

He's also huge - and sits on his human's shoulder like a King!

'My thinks dis is my good side'!!
For me, nothing really beats this Kitteh & his human. They were in harmony. Which is particularly poignant when his full story comes to light. Human is homeless, working for the Big Issue. Kitteh is the official Big Issue Kitteh. I don't know whether they both sleep on the streets, but please don't feel that this cat is at risk - he is in beautiful condition, and obviously gets fed first. He obviously adores his human.


If kitteh-cat has melted your heart (and he has mine) spare a thought for those people who won't be getting 'just what they want' on the streets this this Christmas. There are many ways you can help - buy the magazine from this website or have a look at what these guys do - maybe you can help... 

There were a lot of other, very beautiful, very festive, things which ended up on my sd card. (Some can be seen below) But the kitteh, the human, their bond, and his little red sweater made me cry.... and no, Kaye, Frankie will NOT be following this fashion trend...unless you want to try and put a jumper on him....

Festive Photo Frenzy - Day 5 .... the catch up Queen is back in town!

Yesterday was the day of tired.... I did take the photos on the way home, came in and fell asleep on the sofa  but was too busy to put them up *ahem*

Anyway, here is Whyteleafe at its very best - the tree in the middle of the roundabout (which I suspect has been lit by subterfuge, as one of the lamps above the blue-circles-with-an arrow-in isn't working, and a lead is protruding from it...) makes me smile when I drive past - and after a long day, it's a much needed smile!!

and to make up for it being late, here's a second photo from Monday - another of the lights in Whyteleafe, with a follow-the-star kind of thing going on with the street lamp *sigh - gotta love Christmas*
