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.

I know the last few weeks have been weather focused, so this week it has been head down doing some work. In response to those of my fans that think I don't actually do my own blog, and hire a stuntwriter, Mrs H thought it would be a good idea if I had some snaps taken of me at the hub of all things Erin here at the Palace, in Upper Much-Mousing. When I say centre, I actually mean the sofa at the centre of the gamekeepers lodge, which is bizarely the only place the Wi-Fi signal seems to get to on the estate. . . .
Never off the job, here I can be seen photoshopping some pictures on the laptop—to remove Mrs H's shadow. Do note the hind leg action on the scroll wheel. My physio suggested this as it helps avoid getting a RSI. What I want to know is: what stops the mouse getting a RSI?
And finally . . . .
Such is my devotion to the blog, and editing and writing my books, Mrs H often finds me slumped beside the keyboard, with a warm mouse close by.
It sure is a tough life being a blogging cat, but having such wonderful pals, and a warm sofa, sure does make up for the late night nip coffee fueled editorial meetings!
I hope you enjoyed the little behind-the-scenes look at my blogging life. How do you manage your editorial work?

I need to do a behind the scene except its all too untidy and chaotic. I need to try harder.
ReplyDeleteOh yes, do. DASH HQ would be awesome. Bit like Bionic Basils place but with Kiwi drinks on tap Mmmmm

I think Rosie would like your pink mouse too !
ReplyDeleteYou can't beat a pink mouse, for sure. Brown mice are nice, white are light, but pink mice are for princesses.

We neffur doubted that you work furry, furry hard, Erin! Are you sure you aren't overdoing things (mol)?
ReplyDeleteAfter all, isn't that what petcretaries are for?
Pee Ess: What is an RSI?
Alas sometimes I have to step up and lay down on and for the job, MOL Now that is something Mrs H jus can't do, MOL

Thank you for constantly visiting and commenting,
ReplyDeleteYou certainly do have that stylish looks and personality! Our human loves your ears, Erin. Purrs and hugs!
You are most welcome. I dont get to travel much but when I does it is nice to see friends. I was going to have my ears insured for lots of money, well what's left but they said the best bits were gone so they wouldn't! ;)

Erin thanks for showing us the hub of your empire. You have a purrty mousie fur sure. Love all your blogs and writing dear friend. Happy Sunday
ReplyDeleteOh my pleasure. It is a seat of leaning as well as chewing the cud (or mouse) and a great place to chill — especially when the aircon is on overhead, MOL
DeleteLots of appreciative purrs
ERin
Excellent job of managing your peep, Erin!
ReplyDeleteThank you. Time management is my thing. I manage to use a lot of time napping and mousing, and Mrs H gets to use whats left to do the housework, MOL

Thanks for the behind-the-scenes look at your blogging work, Princess Erin! You have some serious skills ... that hind leg on the mouse move is advanced! XO
ReplyDeleteThanks. I learned that back leg and foot move from the physio, and I have to say it helps loads and means the front end can have a nap whilst the back works ;)
DeletePurrs
ERin
That leg action is really impressive!!!
ReplyDeletePurrs,
Tama and Genji
Thanks, I limber up with a long nap, followed by a good meal and a few stretches. Do this five or six times a day and it soon all falls into place. ;)

Using your back foot to scroll your mouse makes being ambidextrous seem rather insignificant! You are an inspiration.
ReplyDeleteQuadradextrous is theway to go, for sure. Plus I managed to get the tail trained too, though just to press the buttons. To do the scroll wheel I thinkI would need an some sort of rubber attachment on my tail, like a finger from a rubber washing up glove. Have to be in pink though, ;)

We pussycats are always hard at work on our bloggies, and you are not the exception Princess. I know how devoted you are to your craft. I commend you for a job always well done. You are intelligent, of course; beautiful, always; and the keeper of my heart, as long as you'll have it. Kiss kiss kiss. Luvs from Your Prince, V
ReplyDeleteTank you my sweet. You are as devoted to your art as I. Mrs H tells me you can be heard slaving away late into the night, and even start early in the morning in pursuit of your own art. Your heart is safe with mine, and long may they find happiness. . . . and mice, and cream. You know I suddenly feel incredibly hungry. Do you fancy a pizza?
DeleteLove pawkisses and devoted smooches.

Lovely selfies!!! You're a dedicated worker.

Thank you, as I know you are all too. It is a tough life and we all have to work strange hours now we are available across the globe.
DeletePurrs
ERin
Wow, you are a hard worker, Erin. We hope you are paid appropriately for all your efforts.
ReplyDeleteWell I dont really do it for the money, though a little more for my piggy bank would come in handy. I seen to get paid in mice but have to get my own. Something is definitely a bit wrong with that, dont you think, MOL
DeletePurrs
ERin
You are one busy kitty blogger, and that hind leg action is very impressive!
ReplyDeleteThank you. Kitty yoga and an active sleep stretch routine—and chasing mice, on-line and off, is the way to do it ;)
DeletePurrs
ERin
We enjoyed your behind the scenes post very much!
ReplyDeleteThank you. I bet your place is just as busy as mine, especially as you have that wonderful outdoor meeting room to hold session in.

ERin

You sometimes fall asleep at the computer, Erin? ME TOO! Peepers says I'm sleepin' on the job BUT I SAY I'm merely resting my eyes. MOUSES!
ReplyDeleteIt must be a writing cat thing, for sure. Yup, resting the eyes is what I do, but that too is tiring and I find I have to rest the rest—no wonder we cats have so many eyelids!
DeleteToodle pips and purrs
ERin
Erin, you are just too cute! Our mom wants to kiss your little black nosie.
ReplyDeleteOh go on then, but dont blame me if your screen gets all smudgy :) Mrs H says I ruin our keyboard and screen by looking at pictures of Val, and the on-line mousing sites. ;)
DeletePurrs
ERin
Oh Erin, you are one hard workin' kitteh Princess fursure!!! I do likes the tail action with the mousie...very nice control gurl! I, too, hopes you are gettin' lots of payment for all your hard work...maybe some salmon and some nip? BOL!
ReplyDeleteThanks bunches for the POTP! It really helped lots. Your are the bestest!
Kisses,
Ruby ♥
Thanks, I thought the mouse and tail shot was the best one, though I need a less slippry tail to get the wheel to work properly, MOL
DeleteAs to salmon and nip, well best not get me started as both are in short supply, but once I get the credit card sorted I'll be made!
Sending more purrs to you today too.
ERin
Looks like that nap was well-deserved, ERin!
ReplyDeleteThanks, you know how hardthis job is for us cats. But as a mistress of my own destiny I have to put the hours in. (Im not saying what ours and where they are being put in, just in case the tax man commeth, MOL)
DeletePurrs
ERin
Ooh, I want a bright pink mousie of mine own, Erin! I'm off to search the interwebs!
ReplyDeleteI hope you'll enjoy yours as much as I. But they do come in a variety fo colours so you can have a fresh mousie every day and save the RSI, MOL
