As Garfield once said ....

I'm not overweight - I'm undertall!

(Applies to both Zebbycat and Micklehuman)

Zebbycat Helps Me Through...

With his love for affection and cuddles. His smooching even when I'm tired and feeling grotty and lacking makeup. These two pics are from March 2008. Had spent the weekend moving stoves (cookers) down and up my 54 steep steps. Despite my lack of sleep, grunge appearance, scraped back hair and the parents invasion Zeb just carried on -

doing things his way, and showing his love of food, huggles and snuggles, food, and tickles under the chin. And his need for snuggles, huggles and rescue cat assurance that he is the most loved one (as if he wasn't!)

All surrounded with hugely loud PURRRRRUMBLING!

That's my lad!!!

Sunshine on Sunday

The sun was shining, zilch clouds and a lovely gusty, drying Northerly wind, so........

Boring domestic stuff happened including, wow - in the middle of Winter I got all the towels and sheets dry outside (no sunshine on them yet the wind did it all - between 4.00 and 8.00pm, dark after 6.00!!). washing all inside, folded and put away and I'm super happy.

Zebby had a wonderful time getting me to play with him.

And Mickle found that summer dessert photo. Silly me - I couldn't find the right CD coz the photos were on my memory stick. It has a memory and shows a little light when plugged into the laptop. My memory sometimes fails = brain fade with no wee lights to guide my way. Sadly I don't have the right links attached to myself to plug self into the laptop. Does = safety for the laptop!

Sunshine for all Monday forecast. I'll walk up the 54 steps and the steep driveway to experience it happily. Zeb will sleep and dream of huggles and food. Nighty night from us, xxxxx and purry-purrrrumbling

Zebbycat Thwarted #2

All his own work.

Today Zeb helped himself to the cut off ends of some sausages
from the rubbish.



Didn't last long - they were Chorizo!!




(I found the rest abandoned on the floor. Yes - of course he's okay)

Fiordland Quake measures 7.8

Tsunami warning cancelled for more info:

http://www.stuff.co.nz/national/2597897/Fiordland-quake-measures-7-8

All okay here....

News will be filtering out to the World about a big earthquake in New Zealand.

It occurred down in the South Island. Was apparantly noticed in the lower North Island but not by me.

The Govy's Civil Defence procedures have kicked in promptly and the area down South has been declared a Civil Defence Emergency Zone. The worst I've heard is of items tumbling off shelves and power blackouts to a few hundred homes.

Tsunami warnings have been issued to try to keep people away from the western coastlines "just in case".

Mickle and Zebby are fine and are now heading to bed. Yes, we live way up high.
