D.I.Y.



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.

     Well, another week has come and gone, and the world moves on, albeit shakily and with masks and more personal hygiene than many are used to or comfortable with.


     We have kept ourselves busy with a lot of online writing courses. It is currently the Festival of Writing, held this year as an online event, and presented by Jericho Writers. We get approximately 5 on line session a week throughout June, July and August. It has to be said, it is great fun seeing and learning with people from across the globe. There are even folks from Portland, Oregon attending, though I suspect they do not know Val.


     All this online learning is very taxing, and with the weather hitting a summer high into the thirties, we have had the aircon on and stayed indoors an awful lot. Mrs H did start to do some DIY — known around here as 'Don't Injure Yourself', alas she had to stop as she couldn't find the hammer. Which was all rather fortuitous as yours truly had just embarked on my diploma course in 'Extended Napping'. It's a three-week course, or what they describe in these parts as a 'Sandwich course'. Strangely there are no sandwiches, or even nip soda, so I will be taking issue with this and demanding a sizeable small refund come the end of the course.

     So without further ado, here is this week's selfie!




     Whatever you are all doing, now and in the weeks to come, stay safe and heed the warnings. Also, and as per new guidance from the W.H.O., and get your fav felines anything they want, especially pizza and nip.


Till later......

Of Musk & Mice!

Hello and welcome to The Sunday Selfies!

     This week I was hoping to bring you more details of my latest money-making deal with Mr Musk. Alas my Model 3, in part payment for my professional boring services — see last week's post — was quarantined as it had been seen NOT social distancing in the parking lot, had a temperature and was caught not wearing a mask!

     Moving on, it suddenly struck me that what the boring company is doing, and it actually is rather worrying. Personally, I think there is a huge breed of mouse discovered or was the result of eating genetically modified cheese, and the holes are needed to keep it happy as it grazes its way across the various larders (states) in America. As proof positive of my claims, you only have to look at Mr Musk's latest creation, the Cyber (Mouse) Truck, which is definitely shaped like a wedge of cheese, and clearly meant to lure the mouse into the tunnel. And of course, armed with this knowledge, you soon realise that SpaceX is actually meant to get the mice back to the moon to nibble at the cheese there rather than here on earth!

     Frankly, any mouse that big is welcome to the moon, possibly even Mars, which is way too sugary for our liking.

     In the spirit of goodwill, I shall, of course, be offering Mr Musk my mouse catching services, at a suitably enlarged fee, which it seems is how leaders of industry and politicians roll. And what is my price you may ask? Well naturally I want a suitably genetically modified nip nanna, I mean what else could a girl want?

     Anyways, until my car and one-ton banana arrive, I have had to content myself with something small plump and yellow and definitely legal!








     Thank you for visiting us this week, and we hoped you enjoyed our hard pre nipped up selfie.

     If you have any sightings of Mr Musk's Mice, please contact my agent ASAP. Whatever you do, however, please do not attempt to approach. I have Mrs H busy in the potting shed making a new device that, in honour of our hero Mr Musk, we are calling 'MouseX'.

Till next week, stay indoors and keep an eye on your cheese!!!!
