A Valentine for Val


Hi, as this is Valentines Day, and Valentine (of Noir Kitty Mews) and I are bestest pals and in romantic entanglements, which has nothing to do with the balls of wool Mrs H keeps leaving here there and everywhere, I am joining Brian's Thankful Thursday blog hop to celebrate how wonderful it is to have a boyfriend such as he. Ahh, if only he could move here . . .

Here is my message to my sweetheart:


To my dearest Valentine



Our love is like a rose so, so sweet,
and though ne'er shall our noses meet,
thy sweet musk effuses each picture you send
and, yes, drives me passionately round the bend.


So as a new year passes and this day dawns,
I do profess that I now don't mourn
as each year day and minute we spend together
outshines the very worst of years past weather,
and erases pain of my years alone on the street–
fearing each and all I would meet.


Each future moment is now special with you by my side
be it a photo, or the fur in my locket–safely tied.
Or the blanket–your gift infused with thy distant kisses–
that brings me thy love and dearest wishes
when on my side my dreams it embraces
and makes whiskers twitch as my heart, it races.


So, my love–my prince–my knight in black fur,
my heart beats with hope and my lips they do purr,
that from across the waves thy will come,
to whisk me away to some tropical fun.
Or maybe we'll just sit by my fire–
sharing our tales until we do tire.


But even if my dreams come to nothing,
there is a place by my fire and two bowls for the filling.
Just knock on my door, and let yourself in
so we'll be together, and an adventure begin.


To the darling love of my life, come to me when you can,
be it in mind, body, or soul; for love has no boundaries except those we choose.

Your forever Tuxie Princess

I wish all my pals a Happy Valentine's Day!

May your hearts always overflow with the love of our fellow friends and neighbours, as that is truly what makes the world go around. . . .  Personally I think the world is flat–saucer shaped, and full of cream . . . but that's an adventure for another day. MOL

PS. Valentine is spoken for, and whilst the day is named after him he is not available for appearances . . .  unless by prior arrangement with cash up front, though white mice preferred. All major credit cards accepted; cheques must be made payable to Erin and Val's honeymoon and holiday getaway fund.

Duvet Expert for Hire . . .

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:-





     
     With storm 'Erik' rumbling and battering the UK this week, I rather thought it was time to lay back and let the world blow by–excuse the pun.  So without further encouragement from Mrs H, I took to my bed and enjoyed a good roll on my current pink duvet, purchased from Tesco (in two tone pink) just to make sure I got my monies worth before this one hit the laundry tub.

     As some quick thinking folk may have noticed, I do love checking out duvets. So with that in mind I have come up with this great idea to legitimately earn some extra and much needed funds for the palace, AND get to nap on the job: Duvet testing; specifically duvet covers.

     So, if there are any purveyors of fine duvet and duvet covers out there, be they  HarrodsSelfridgesWalmart,  or any other fine retail outlets, that wish to be featured on the blog with yours truly, please email me ASAP to book a slot on my bed.

OR

Call my toll free number at the palace. PLEASE NOTE: A small connection fee applies as I have to pay the gardener. If you wondering what the gardener has to do with duvets– well, as Mrs H will have to answer the millions of calls that I am anticipating for this service, I have to get the dairy-maid to cover for Mrs H. The dairy-maid's job will be covered by the scullery-maid who will be covered in turn by the girl from the village that cleans my brass mousetraps. And her work will be covered by the paper delivery girl, whose round will be covered by the gardener. As he gets paid least of all them, it does seem like a good deal . . .  unless I can get Mrs H to cover him?  What do you think?

     Anyway, next week I will be sporting a nice matching pillow and duvet combo in pale pink and white, brought to you by IKEA bedding. You can find the link to my duvet set clicking HERE.

     What will you guys be testing next week? 


     To see what our pals are up to this week, please go to the Kitties Blue site, or if available, click the links below, and Enjoy the Hop!
