A birthday message.

Hello and welcome to The Sunday Selfies!    



We are joining The Kitties Blue, from The Cat on My Head blog, for the weekly celebration of blogs and bloggers from across the world and across the species.

To join in, get the Linky link code from their website– add it to your page– and enjoy the hop!





And now here is my selfie for the week:-





     In this weeks selfie you can see yours truly hard asleep inwardly digesting the cold facts and figures after a very busy and bleak session with the accountant, and Mrs H. All said and done the estate has not broken even this year,  in fact Mrs H's pension (and her sherry fund) has been exceeded twice over. Belts will have to be tightened, and corsets cinched in 2019, for sure.

     At this time of year, which for me does not mean Christmas, my thoughts turn to my birthday on the 25th, and the time when I was rescued. I count myself lucky–nay blessed, that I have a roof over my head, food and water, and warmth and friendship. For those in my old shelter, I will be taking some more boxes of food as a thank you, and in part to repay the large debt I owe them for caring for me when my kittens and I were very much in need. I have realised since my adoption, that the opportunity for a new life, to help or save a life, can be as simple and easy as reaching out a paw, or hand, to one in need. . .

     It just remains for me to wish and hope that for our readers, and those out there on the streets or in shelters, and those in need, that the 25th brings as much new light, hope, and happiness into your lives and those around and about you, as it did for me.


     Purrs of thanks and love to one and all.

ERin and all at The Palace.

 Please help Katie and Lily fight back from illness. . .

Miss Savvy, TKS and their mom, Linda have a fund raiser going on for two kittens, Katie and Lily, who were rescued from dire circumstances in a chronic hoarding situation. If you can help, by sharing or donating, no matter how much, please do click the badge above, or click the link HERE....

  5. Oh! You share a birthday with Mummy's youngest niece! And also with Mummy's maternal grandpaw (of blessed memory).
    May you have a furry happy birthday and get lots of prezzies - and plenty of catnip (mol).

    1. Thank you, seems like I am in very good company :)
      I have a few presents wrapped up in their postal packages from around the globe, so looks like all I need to do now is get some presents to give to my shelter family. Then the day will be complete <3

  11. Even though I won't be there at the palace with you on the birthday, dearest, I will be silently mewing a birthday song all day for you from afar and will dance with you in my dreams throughout the day. I imagine your village will have a parade and party for their beloved Princess that is so gracious and caring. I will be there in spirit to join in the festivities. If you see big red roses scattered about outside your door, those are from me.

    Much luv, many kisses and many wishes to you, my dream lady. Your Prince, V -Valentine (& Kerry) of Noir Kitty Mews

    1. Aww, Val I would exchange a million red roses for a short while with you, paw in paw. I shall look for your paw prints on my heart coming Tuesday morning, and cherish them forever. And then as I nap, I shall accept your dance and we can spend the hows of day and night entwined as we cross the worlds in our feline ballet. Then, as the hours of the day leave us, I shall blow you one last kiss and wave as you fly away in your silver cloud to paradise.
      Purrs and smooches to my sweetheart and Prince and wooly bear.
      Erin
      XOXO
