After so many promises, I finally found time, internet, energy and inclination to get some photos from the last few weeks up onto the internet. And here’s the link you’ve all been waiting for. *wilting fanfare*
Nothing hugely spectacular, I don’t think – I’m still learning on my new camera – but there are family memories, school stuff, some big cats, occasional wildlife and an inevitable sunset or two.
Or three.
Post pictures of cats, they said. Seriously, if you’re not going to be able to write much, and a picture is worth a thousand words, then a picture of a cat is worth, well, Six Thousand. Do it.
So, with that in mind, here’s a picture of a cat, for all my cat loving readers.
This one is climbing along a dry stone wall at Black Oystercatcher, demonstrating not just balance and pose, but also some of the rocks of the inhospitable Elim terroir.
This, from The Onion and via The Guru probably sums up the modern Christmas for most.
“Nothing puts me in the Christmas spirit more than sitting down on the couch with my parents and siblings, turning on the TV, and then proceeding to either look at the screen or gaze down into my glowing tablet display for hours on end,” 28-year-old Andrew McPherson told reporters”
Ours wasn’t like that at all. Interaction with Lego, friends, food and red wine worked out nicely.
All of which beats staring into a screen next to your family.
Mind you, that in turn beats spending 6 hours in A&E at the Northern General Hospital in Sheffield after smashing your head on the ice covered road outside the house.
All is bright…
Our excited kids are finally in bed. Asleep? Not so much… yet.
Did I get chance to upload those photos? No. No, I didn’t. Today was chaos.
I need a holiday from this Christmas holiday.
Shopping today was far less of an ordeal than anyone could reasonably have expected. That said, it took most of our day and most of our energy.
Post blood doning (not a word, but it’ll do), it was off to Simon’s for a really good dinner.
Tomorrow looks slightly quieter, so I’m going to try (but not promise) to get some recent photos uploaded.
You’ve been warned.
