Waiting. . . .

Hello and welcome to The Sunday Selfies!

     This week has, it is very safe to say, has been wet. Not just wet wet, but the sort of wet that even the trees and the earth are fed up with. As a result there hasn't been much time for action shots, or sunny summertime (whatever that is) selfies, just a lot of snoozing and working on our new book.

     As a result I have a confession to make—this weeks selfie was actually taken last week, when we actually last saw something that may have been the sun.

     I have rather aptly named it 'Waiting....' as that is all we seem to be doing these days.

     On a cheerier note Mrs H and I have also been doing a lot of reading, mostly of what they call 'Middle Grade' fiction. Wherever possible we have been looking for books that match our own genre of adventure, some with felines and other fantastic beasts, but all topical, inclusive/diverse and well written.

     As a burgeoning writing talent, it is something you have to do a lot of, to understand what readers like, as well as what publishers want.

     So, as an upshot of all this reading, we have decided to share some of the books with you by way of book reviews, both here and as a guest on The Bionic Basil's Blog.

     We are not being sponsored to do these reviews, but as nearly all these books are incredible fun, engaging, and with some great story lines, they make great easy reads for adults and staff alike. Especially those staff that have younger human helpers.

     Anyways, enough of the pre-amble, here for your edification is this week's Black and White Selfie Delight!

The Water Works. . . .

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!

     As you may recall from last week, I have had a bit of an issue with the ol' waterworks. Yup, even a princess such as myself, can come down with icky issues that result frequent trips to the Royal Privy!

     Well, after a protracted wait—during which I most definitely wasn't holding myself, we got a call from Julie—one of the senior consultants heading up the team on my case, confirming no crystals or other nasty stuff going on. The blood in my sample was from a stress related issue as a result of going in for a dental. I shall be stressing to my 'stress' that it definitely has nothing to fear from the dentist, and that next time it is to behave itself, MOL

     Anyways, this weeks selfie was taken just before the clouds rolled in and the heavens opened. What little sunshine there was to illuminate me, soon passed and we seem to have been immersed in winter once more!

     I quite like this one, and whilst it isn't as sharp as last weeks, I like how the light defines just the edge of my right humerus/upper arm—and there was me thinking I didn't have a funny bone in my body, MOL.  Mrs H thinks that I may be a bit over exposed in this one. . . . what do you all think?
