Selfish and Shameless Generosity and Selfie

Hello, and welcome to another weekend selfie. 



This week Mrs H and I have been preparing for . . . .  doing nothing!

That's right, here at the Manor House, we do not do Christmas or Easter and the like but prefer to try and help others as a day-to-day matter-of-fact kind of activity. So all the rush this week has been getting copies of our book out to the local rescue centre for animals in need, so they can sell it and raise funds. 

What was hugely satisfying was being able to give them 30 copies to sell and get the full cover value. Hopefully, they all get sold and our donation helps many more cats and dogs in need. Truly this is the best sort of what one would describe as selfish generosity: a warm cosy feeling and good karma in the next life, and the knowledge others benefit in this. 

We know many folks do something similar, and not just around Christmas though it is a time when so many sentient beings are left on their own, or out in the cold and hungry. 

Also this week we have been liaising with our blogging pals, Kerry & David Barbero and Angel Valentine, to ensure our co-authored book is out there in the world to raise funds for both Kerry & David's rescue charity and our own.

Ann Adamus was so very kind and prepared a wonderful graphic to share and put in our sidebar. Many of you who follow the Cat Blogosphere will have seen this come out a few days ago, and maybe received an email from Ann, too.

Here is the AMAZON LINK to the book





This wonderful pirate feline adventure can now be found, thanks to Terry Frum, on the Shop With Friends section of the Blogosphere website.

Here's a link to that. https://blog.catblogosphere.com/shop-with-friends/ 

There are a few folks listed, so well worth a look, and if something catches your eye, a purchase to support fellow felines and bloggers. 

And heres a link to our own book: Chumley and Hudson Investigate. The king Herod's Affair. AMAZON LINK




Kerry, David, Angel Valentine, Mrs Hudson and I thank everyone who has already bought copies of either of these books. The funds raised are much appreciated. 

And if you like the books, please, please do leave a review on Amazon, who are the publishers as well as the sellers. Good reviews will help increase sales and our money for charity.

And now, after that Selfish publicity for great causes, here is a Shameless sleepy Sunday selfie of me. 

I was afloat on a grey sea of velour, with the incoming ripples of tufts of white fleecy spume soon to lap at my paws....

Mrs H always says I have far too vivid an imagination and should lay off the late night catnip, MOL
