Hello, and welcome to a another weekend selfie; the first of 2025. 


This week we have been so pleased to get back to normal after the alleged 'holiday season'. It seems so stressful for most people, and expensive.

Whilst Upper Much-Mousing doesn't go berserk like some places, Mrs Singh's International Food Emporium, the local corner shop, was doing a fine business. She is a shrewd saleslady with an eye for making life easier and cheaper for all her customers and herself. Villagers were allocated times to collect their shopping. 

This year also saw, through the miracle of online shopping – ie using the shops multi-camera roving security cameras, so customers could browse the shelves and, with the help of the village Cub scout and Brownie troops, fill a real shopping basket which they could pay for at the real shop till using a credit card.  

This year, the villagers have taken to a whole food plant based diet. Although some of the hard of hearing residents took this to mean they needed to eat an entire Christmas meal meant for a family of four themselves! Needless to say, Mrs Singh reported a spike in indigestion tablets for those folks. 

With our larder all stocked up, the sherry decanter almost full, and the cream delightfully whipped to almost clotted thickness, we settled down to watch a play from the National Theatre, in London. 

It was actually a play set In Memphis, by Katori Hall, called The Hot Wing King.

Click this link HERE, to go to the National Theatre web site. We thoroughly enjoyed the play and can recommend the service. The yearly cost of watching plays at home was under £100. 

OK, enough of our non-meat, full-fun, stop-at-home, stress-free non-holiday, lets get on with a selfie!




Not quite the morning after the night before. . . . .

Sunday Selfie time!

Hello, and welcome to a another weekend selfie. 


This week Mrs H and I have been preparing for the inevitable slew of firework displays that spoil the tranquility of the East Lambtonshire county area. Noise like the war has broken out again, along with flashes so bright that I was able to send old Ned out to do an extra 2 hours of gardening. 

Here in the village, we have quieter celebrations, revelling in winter fare consisting of hot toddies, and puddings rich in treacle, apples and cream. The telling of tales is allowed, but has to be done by candlelight in an aromatic setting, and by that I don't mean folks have catnip pipes, but nutmeg and cinamon, that sort of thing. 

After a final glass is raised to friends old and new, by the light of the stars only, we all wend our way to our beds. Thankfully, this year we have not had to avoid tripping over any of farmer Clarksin's sheep. In previous years they have managed to break into the fresh silage supplies and have end up drunk and scattered liberally around the village, hooves up, and bleating out of tune!

So fully sober, well I am anyway, Mrs H I can not fully vouch for as her bun looks more tousled than normal and the knitting needles holding it together far more askew, lets get on with the selfies!



Erin, thats me, lies part curled on my grey fleece bed cover. My body head and legs point to the right and my front left paw rests in part on a wooden handled metal comb. I am clearly enjoying the sun on my back from the window, which is making the fur on my back shine auburn.

The ULTIMATE Book Review & GIVEAWAY

Hello, Everyone!


Today, we have a special announcement. This week, after a small series of technical hitches, Mrs H and I jointly pressed the key that sent our new and first book into publication, with the aid of a lodger who recently took our attic room at a most reasonable rent and ad-lib unspecified services rendered in the house, garden and around the grounds.

Yup, it has been a long, long journey, starting way back in 2018. It has been tinged with sadness, and also delight. 

But let’s not dig into who got flour and butter on my new notepad. Or how old Ned, the gardener, not only got grass seed in the Manor's PC but managed to spill tea on it and got said seed to sprout. Then later, after trying to mow it, destroyed the keyboard.

Fear not, all things are possible when writing adventures, and all solutions available to the detective with a nose and whiskers for finding solutions to the most unusual of incidents that befall us in Upper Much-Mousing.

Here is a picture of the cover, so ably created by an outstanding artist in South Africa called Craig D Howarth. Craig spent many long hours, days and weeks toiling away, risking life and limb and several literature-starved lions, to create all the art, inside and out. Not once, but twice, as the book changed in editing.

The title is set in an art deco upright rectangle with three short fins on each side that taper downwards. The colours used are three shades of green with black writing. Erin the tuxedo cat sits in a bicycle's front basket while Mrs Hudson, Erin's housekeeper and governess, cycles from left to right, pursued by a happy golden coated retriever type dog. There is a two tone blue sky, and green foliage around the bottom half of the cover, dotted with pink rose blooms. The author is named in white.
© Image copyright CD Howarth & Erin the Cat Princess©

Mrs H and I are thrilled with how the artwork turned out. With the help of an independent publisher, Jane’s Studio Press, based in Scotland, to help set out the edited work, we have achieved an awesome result. 

Here is the lowdown on the adventure, as taken from our book:-

“Welcome to 1920s Britain, where cats and dogs have a voice and are treated as equals to humans. In the quaint village of Upper Much-Mousing, one lucky young cat named Erin Chumley inherits an old manor house and Estate. But with it comes responsibility and bills, and Erin must navigate her new life with the help of her housekeeper and tutor, Mrs. Hudson, a retired Army veteran with a mysterious past.

Together, Erin and Mrs. Hudson start a detective agency to earn funds and teach Erin about the world. But their first case takes them to the bustling city of London, to the famous King Herod’s Department store. Three kittens have gone missing, and it’s up to our dynamic duo to solve the case. But what starts as a simple investigation quickly turns into a dangerous race against time, as they must save the kittens from the clutches of the evil and lazy Anders, the store’s nighttime security guard. As they dig deeper, they uncover a sinister black-market gang stealing from the store, and must also help their feline seamstress friend, Jenifer Darcy, get the recognition she deserves for her work.

Join Erin and Mrs. Hudson on their witty and whimsical adventure, filled with action, fun, and heartwarming moments. Perfect for young middle-grade readers looking for a fun and exciting read.”


*****GIVEAWAY*****


As a special launch time (not lunchtime) gift, we are making a copy of the paperback available to two lucky Sunday Selfie bloggers who comment on this post between now and midnight next Saturday, 12th October BST. The winners must be willing and able to supply a postal address to allow an Amazon delivery. Mrs H or I will contact the winners by leaving a comment on the winners’ blogs.

OK, so enough of the surprise news, here' is a special, book launch selfie of me spreading the news!

Sunday Selfie and the UMMP

Hello, and welcome to a another weekend selfie. 


This week, we, and that is the royal we, ie Mrs H and Ned the gardener, have been preparing for a major event to be held at the Manor House in the next few days. There will be guests from around the globe, as well as royalty and a president. Two canine pals of ours should be coming, too, and have promised only to bit the ankles of local politicians. But to be on the safe side, I have suggested the vicar wears his reinforced cassock. Trouble fun and delight will come in equal from three kittens, who, along with their mom, Esme, will be making a guest appearance. To find out more, watch out for a special mid-week post!

OK, so mysteries aside, Mrs H has been busy with her new internet connection. Yup, the string has been strung from the downstairs window and, thanks to the help of some bale twin and oddments of fence posts secured across fields and hedges by Ned, now reaches to Upper Much-Mousing Library. We now have, for a very reasonable fee, 24hr connection to as much data as Ms Brend Wormley (librarian and insomniac) can shout down the tin can at us. We have named this service The UMM-Pedia! We are hoping it catches on, as additional strings to Mrs Singh's International Emporium would mean we can do on-string shopping! Do you all have a version of the UMMP?

Anyways, enough of the frivolities, here's a selfie of me, hostess to the stars, trying out my casual 'this happens every day' kind of casual look.

Sunday Selfiie

Hello, and welcome to a weekend selfie. 


Mrs H and I have been dealing with the fallout of an internet supplier change this week, which has left certain of our tech confused. 

Who knew that tech could be flummoxed! It has got to the point that I have had to instruct Mrs H to call in the advisers from our energy company who supplied the tech and see if they can fix it. 

That was done this morning, after which I sent Mrs H out for a four mile cycle ride around the local reservoir to get her fit. That was on top of a two mile hike to the shops and back yesterday. The Dr said we both had to get fit, so I am determined that we do so. Now, if you think that the activities solely include Mrs H, then fear not, I get my steps in, too, as she insists on recounting every step and wheel turn of her adventures. Being chased by geese, and one overly friendly dog, seem to have been the highlights. The latter did have a plus as she was forced into a military quickstep to shake off the dog!

So on that note, and as I can see Mrs H struggling to get out of the tight lycra outfit and needs some advice, here's a selfie of me, doing my impression of running. Which is about as energetic as I intend too get on a Sunday before my breakfast, MOL.

A leaning Sunday Selfie.....

Hello, and welcome to a weekend selfie. 


Oh, what a couple of weeks. Since we last posted a selfie, Mrs H and I have been beavering away with sorting out some final edits from Kerry in America, and her husband, David. The final KDP (Kindle Direct Publishing) doc arrived here last week, and Mrs H went into edit mode, meaning long hours at MY laptop spent trying to forget she'd read this story hundreds of times before. Fresh eyes, it seems, do come with a new pair of spectacles, which must be down to having a stronger prescription. 

Yup, you guessed it on the second re-read; most like the 501st in real time, she discovered a continuity error concerning a pair of boots with a minor 'walk-on' role. All her fault, I hasten to add. Further checks discovered several, if not lots, of other minor errors that had slipped through the writing and editorial net. I put this down to having way too much fun reading the story and that glass of sherry. 

Sadly for me, this has meant many days of ready meals only. Also, her moans and groans as she spots another issue have meant countless disturbed naps throughout the day. 

If I had known five years ago that this would be the case, I'd have opted to write a picture book instead! 🙂

Anyways, enough about book publishing pains, here is a selfie of yours truly settling down for some much-needed rest. Which isn't easy when the subsidence in the east wing bedroom, MOL

A Paint Free Selfie. Yippee!

Hello and welcome to a weekend selfie. 


This week we have mainly been sorting out household things. No painting involved which also means no mess to clear up. That's a win for me as the paint is super smelly, and a win for Mrs H who is usually forced into multiple baths to remove stray emulsion droplets from her face and hair.

We certainly don't want a repeat of the last time when the vicar spread the rumour that we both had all come down with measles when it was in fact merely splashes from Mrs H's new spray gun which had exploded in a shower of metallic red paint when the hose got crimped!

Least said the better about who caused the crimp, save to say that in my defence I thought the red curly vibrating thing was a vicious and rare red cobra sneaking up on Mrs H in her motorcycle workshop!


Anyways, enough about paint, here is a selfie of yours truly without measly spots of any colour, taking a well earned Sunday rest.

Sunday Sunny Selfie, Sans book review.

Hello and welcome to a weekend selfie.

OK, so there is no book review to trawl through, which I guess is a good thing when there are sun puddles to be checked out and validated for size and comfort.

At least that is what the Cat Weather Association (CWA) of Upper Much-Mousing says. And who am I to argue with them, especially as I am commander in chief of that esteemed organisation. 

The book review is written, but Mrs H is currently knee-deep in paperwork. Well, in truth, more ankle-deep, but it seems way worse when you're a feline. And she is ankle-deep only because she toppled the filing cabinet over attempting to emulsion the ceiling in a delicate pale green shade to match the walls. Well, when I say to match the walls, I mean to match the walls now they are splattered with pale green paint from the spilt pot!

On the plus side, I get to visit you all a bit quicker and you likewise. 

So, without further ado, here is a Sunday Sunny Selfie Sans Book Review, which we have entitled "The 'Toes' have It!"

Just a Sad Sunday and Selfie

 Hello and welcome to our Sunday Selfie 

 

The book review that we had sheduled for this week has been postponed due to some very sad news. 

As many of you know, Valentine and Kerry Barbero have been absent from blogging for a little while. Kerry recently retired the blog due to bad health.

Saddly, we learned this week that Kerry has entered hospice care.

Ann Adamus very kindly prepared the badge below which some of you may have seen yesterday on the Blogosphere site. It describes far better than Mrs H's saddened and shaky hands and mind ever could. . . .

 


 Please do spare a thought and add purrs and prayers for Kerry at this very difficult and painful time. And too for David, her devoted husband, who needs our support now and in the time ahead.

This week we have joined Janet Blues Blog Hop with a tired and contemplative selfie . . . . 

Mrs H and I spent our time yesterday mulling over life and friends, and also in prayer.

 


Be well, be safe and be strong. And where you can, extend that paw of friendship and help for others around less able, be they big or small, old or young.

Love and Peace

ERin & Mrs H

A fleecy tale, Dr Henrietta, and a selfie...

There is no book review this week, as we have no books to read!

Mrs H hasn't got anything lined up for a few weeks as we (read that as she) need to focus on some home decorating, garden shed building, and pre-winter tidying. All this and doing charity knitting for the local sheep.

Why sheep, I hear you ask. Well, Farmer Clarksin tried a new sheering method. Well, let's just say buying cheap depilatory cream from dodgy small ads is bound to go wrong!

Suffice it to say, the local WI (Women's Institute) have a long stretch of knitting ahead of them to make suitable attire for 22 embarrassed ewes. Plans to knit one long scarf to save on making sleeves and buttonholes have now been shelved. Rumour has it Mrs Singh, from Singh's International Food Emporium, has sponsored some of the whole thing. In exchange, she gets to advertise on the sides. She wisely decided that promoting a new range of condiments, including mint sauce, was a non-starter!

OK, enough of the frivolity, here's my selfie!

We are joining the Sunday Selfies, hosted by the wonderful Kittes Blue and their mum, Janet Blue in America.

Any suggestions as to what I was saying or thinking. No prizes, I'm afraid, just for the fun of it.....

Oh, and a huge shout out and Thank You from Mrs H and me to my awesome new doctor, Henrietta.

She had been having a very trying day with some felines that had been swearing. Whilst I have been known to have a hissy fit, and be 'hissed off' I do not swear 😉.

Sunday Selfie!

 Hello, and welcome to our Sunday selfie post. 

 
We are joining the Sunday Selfies, hosted by the wonderful Kittes Blue and their mum, Janet Blue.

No stories this week as Mrs H is having terrible hay fever and has run out of her very special, imported and hyper-expensive natural remedy. Personally, I thought you could get the extra-mature sherry from Mrs Singh's Hypermarket . . . 😉

Anyways, on with the selfies!

Erin the Cat's selfie shows her head and part shoulders facing to the right. Her white chest fur radiates a sheen in the afternoon light that comes into the room she is in.

 

Coming Soon is a book review of a truly magnificent Teen/YA SciFi/Fantasy Adventure called SKRIMSLI by Nicola Davies. It is the second book set in a world where animals and humans can communicate by entering each other's minds. If you have read the first book, an award-winning modern classic called The Song That Sings Us, this is very much for you. Even if like us you haven't, don't worry, as they can be read apart. We are halfway through this and adore it.

 

Book cover image with a silver tiger face with yellow eyes. The upper face merges into the background so it's fur becomes the silver white and grey snow covered trees of a forest. The lower third of the face merges into the river and a large scaly pike-like fish. The title at the top of the book, and the authors name at the bottom are written in a yellow gold font of upper and lower case.

 

Here's a link to Firefly Press's web page for this book. Click to follow the link. https://fireflypress.co.uk/books/skrimsli/ The book is available for advance ordering.

 Till laters, and my next book review, have an awesome week.

A sort of 'Book Free' Sunday selfie!

 Mrs H has pretty much recovered from her sore heads. So this week we return to a hastily (one hour ago) visit to Upper Much-Mousing, to see what has been going on . . . .

 

"Do you have to make that noise, dear?" The intermittent bursts of scratching and groans of disappointment from the chair on the other side of the fireplace finally made Mrs H look up from her knitting and crossword. She glowered at Erin over the top of her glasses.

"Umm, well, I was just trying to win big on this lottery scratch card we got from Mrs Singh. Buy any three SSS - Singh's Super Sassy curry from her takeaway menu and get a free scratch card."

"You got. I didn't buy any. A complete waste of time no doubt." Mrs H frowned. "Well, if nothing else, it explains the silver residue blocking the vacuum cleaner. I was begining to think the woodworm had changed their diet!"

Erin eyed the large pile of cards on the table and the stack of silver shavings on the cushion, and groaned inwardly. Maybe she had gotten carried away. But then again, as she saw it, Mrs H wouldn't have to cook supper until at least the summer.

"And what, may I ask, are the prizes? If it's more curry, I'll have to ban you from using the credit card this month. You can't move in the freezer for frozen takeaways."

Erin sighed deeply. "I've been trying to get the three cream pot symbols in a row. That's the top prize! But I've only found one cram pot."

Mrs H's right eyebrow raised in half surprised half enquiring manner. "And what do you win for three pots? No, let me guess, a large pot of Mrs Singh's spicey cat nip cheese topping?"

"No, what made you say that?" Erin looked quizically at her housekeeper.

"Well, it's just a large jar that arrived this morning. I wasn't sure if it was wrongly ordered when that Percy pigeon went astray last week."
 
"Ahh, no. That was my prize when I got three spiders in a row."

"Well, that's something you don't see too often, especially around here," Mrs H muttered to herself, knowing how keen Erin had been to make new friends.

"No, the top prize is a year's worth of cream! And the second, for three mice in a row, is a year's worth of Nice Mice Vegan Treats. The third you'll like, Mrs H – six bottles of Mrs Singh's home brew XXX Catnip Sherry!"

"Hmm." Mrs H's eyes widened slightly. "I think I can see a certain merit in this after all. Encourages careful meal planning."

"Exactly" Erin nodded her head vigorously.

"Saves on use of electricty and washing up time and materials."

"Absolutely!" Erin said, "We can spend more time relaxing."

"Not to mention bicycle wear and tear, and the fuel and servicing the Brough Superior." Mrs H was clearly getting into the swing of things.

"Dont forget fiscal restraint. You always tell me to do that. Save the pennies and the pounds will take care of themselves, is what you always say." Erin had leaned forwards, sending a shower of dust to the floor along with three spent scratch cards to add to the collection on the hearth rug.

"Couldnt have put it better myself, dear. Yes, I think this could be a wise move indeed. Do you have any of those cards spare? . . . . "

                                                                            ***
 
Well, folks, that is where we leave Erin and Mrs H for another week. Will the Manor House's petty cash and housekeeping money be drained by next week? Will Erin ever get the supply of cream? Will Mrs H get to finish knitting the scarves for the orphan kittens?

To find out, or possibly not, tune in next time!

Now before the selfie of the week, we are pleased to announce, somewhat late, the winners of a copy of the fabulous 'The Lighthouse Bookshop' written by Newt's mum, Sharon Gosling.

It was reviewed by Mrs H last year – see the review via this link. The winners are our USA pal Meowmeowman from the blog Animal Shelter Volunteer Life, and The J Cats, in Israel.

Congratulations to you both!

Please send me your addresses in a separate comment, which we will then delete/not publish. And we will post your prizes as soon as possible!

And now for the selfie!

We are joining the Sunday Selfies hosted by the excellent Janet Blue over at the Cat on my Head blog.

ERin's Sunday Selfie, and Message from Valentine.

Hello, and welcome to our Sunday selfie post. 

We are joining the Sunday Selfies, hosted by the wonderful Kittes Blue and their mum, Janet Blue.

 


Before we show off a rare selfie of us dreaming of far away shores, I have been asked by my betrothed, Valentine, to share some rather sad news. 

Dearest Myrna Pearl Sterling, Valentine's much loved new pal who recently moved from being a street cat to having a warm and loving home and many square meals and treats a day, has very sadly crossed the Rainbow Bridge. 

Myrna, found much happiness in her twilight years living with Valentine, Esmerelda, Bessie the Bassett, and her new adopted humans, Kerry and David. She settled into Valentines blogging life ever so easily, like she was an old hand, and never seemed phased by Val's antics.

Kerry hopes to be able to do a full tribute and celebration to Myrna's life and times in due course. Till then, please do leave comments on the post linked below.  

https://noirkittymews.com/wishes-for-myrnie/#more-23524

Ann Adamus has very kindly created wonderful downloadable badges in two sizes to celebrate Myrna's life. Please do download a copy and use.

Large image of Myrna

Small image of Myrna


 

 

Which leads me to a post Val has asked me to introduce. Many thanks again to Ann Adamus of Zoolatry for generously creating the graphics. Over to you, Valentine. . . .


Dear Friends ~ I just wanted to send you all a short letter, full of paws of love, to let you know we at Noir Kitty Mews won't be blogging for awhile, and I hope my above note tells you why. We will be very grateful for as many paws together** as you can spare, specially as Mommy can really use those right now.

I am also meowing a special favor to each of you ~ that you please do not post or otherwise share this, our personal family information on Facebook or other social media. It's just something we're not comfortable with right now.

** if perhaps you want to send a personal message, please can you email us at valentine@noirkittymews.com. I know they WILL all be very much appreciated.

Thank you and purrs,  Valentine

Thank you Valentine. I am sure all of us want to wish Kerry, David, you and the rest of your family well during this very stressful time.

Hopefully, with all our thoughts and prayers from across the world and Blogosphere over the coming days and weeks, we can get Kerry back home and on the mend. 

                                                                            ******

And now, I offer you my Sunday Selfie!

 


OK, OK, so maybe paws dont really count as an actual selfie, but they are MY paws. See how clean they are too! Mrs H do take note. It was NOT me who walked through the flour on the kitchen table and traipsed it into the lounge and across the sofa, sideboard, your new Persian rug and up the curtains. Clearly, we have ghosts afoot! 😉

Anyways, enough of my Footsie, to see what all the other fine Sunday Selfie Bloggers are up to this week, please follow the links below, mindful of any patches of self raising flour!

Till laters, and my next book review, have an awesome week.

 

ERin & Mrs H
