Behind bars

Just a few photographs from the last several months. I feel like they've been a bit bleh because it's been so dark and icy and gloomy. Really looking forward to the summer months ahead though. Fun plans on the horizon!

Back to the past in the present. I think these start back from November last year (!), just to set the scene...


Harrison at his window in Rutherglen.

Washing line.

A snippet of the endless silliness witnessed over at mine.
Window seat. He's smiling because it has a really comfy pillow.

Linda and I went over to visit Jonathan at Costa, and we definitely paid for everything we consumed.




We decided it would be more fun to view November 5th's fireworks in 3D.




Later that week Linda and I decided to try out making cupcakes.

They looked delicious!

They weren't.

Apparently there is such a thing as too much food colouring.

More silliness.


Hchaam.


More cats, this time at East Kilbride Sport Centre where the West of Scotland Cat, um, Society (?) show was being held. There we met...

Startled kitty,

Naked kitty,

Angry kitty, he wasn't happy with his "Cheers for coming along" rosette.

Sad kitty,

Pampered kitty,

and normal kitty

It was an odd day.


Went up to my mum's for Christmas.

My little jailbird on the drive up the A9.

No joke, this is what Santa got me. It turned out to be a mannequin. Thank goodness.

Sophie had fun exploring her holiday home.


Tiring work.

There was a grand amount of snow this year, the worst since '85 I heard said.

This was after it had mostly melted, and my car was finally freed from the driveway's icy grasp.




During a surprise trip to Blackpool, Linda showed us round one of the recently empty flats in her building.

Love it.



Harrison at the bottom of the stairs.


Back at home..

and Snoop.


Thanks!

Sorry about all the wildlife.

This entry takes place over the end of our summer. While we're still having sunny days, I really feel like the summer is well and truly over. Everything changed over the space of a week or two.

While I was really sad to leave America in August, I was so happy to come back home. The party started right back where we left off the day we got home.

Over at mine. Linda and Sophie hanging out in the kitchen window seat.




Jonathan with cats ears, subtle cat ears.

Sophie cuddling Harrison's leg.

Linda moved back down to Blackpool for Uni, so at the last minute we decided to come along and 'help'.


Jonathan's patriotic side coming out. Or it's a shadow from Linda's window.

Light from the computer.

Window washer surprised us the next morning with a visit.

Polaroid came out a little odd. Not sure if it's the film or the camera. We took a walk down to the pleasure beach.

It was shut.

A stroll through the park instead.


with ice cream.


Went to Coral Island.

Paradise it was.

Linda played like a champ...

...and won a horrible winged donkey. Which she then gave away.

I don't have an awful lot to say about this one.

I went up to my mum's house to buy a car for work. I now have a boot big enough to comfortabley fit a travelling studio!

Mums new washing line. Looks funnily enough, the exact same as the old one.

Molly, next doors dog, came over to greet me.

She's not shy.

The next morning I woke up in my old room to a mini camera obscura. I remember when I was younger I used to see this on my bedroom wall a lot. The red postie van pulling up, the postie walking up the drive, back down, the van driving away. I didn't know what it was then.

We took Molly and Zac for a morning walk through the woods next to my house.




My house is on the left.



Mum getting food ready for the chickens.



The chickens; Eenie, Meanie, Mieny and Mo.






Today's takings.

Mum persuading the girls to get back in.

Graham's car.

While hanging out in my garden I heard a little whimpering sound over the fence.



This is my garden's main feature.



Bumped into Mia.

She fell over.

And started being cute.


Coming back home from next door's later that night.

That's all for now, I'm off to watch some of my new Tom & Jerry box set. Yay.
