a well-snibbled cat
And what is snibbling, you ask? Well okay, it was Johnny who asked, and as I’ve been asked before I thought I would post about snibbling here . . .

This is in response to comment 6 on this post.
It was suggested by nursemyra that I could tell about how Nog & I met as part of NaBloPoMo , and then I thought that it would be fun if other people also shared their ‘how we met’ stories. So here is mine and I look forward to reading yours . . .

These are the first photos I’ve seen of her, looking all tiny and adorable.
And with a very impressive head of hair!
I hope it’s not too long before I get to see her in person.
Well done, Joe and Olivia!

Well, the approximate time. Lua’s four kittens were born between 10-11 am and there was no way of telling them apart. That pic is of Sunny just after we moved from Salamanca to Sevilla – he was 6 weeks old. I can’t believe he was ever that small.
And now as I write he is almost exactly 14 years old. Big lovable hunk o’ dude that he is.
Here are some BIRTHday photos…

It’s August 1st and I am officially ‘on holiday’.
No classes until September. Yay! Well okay, no income either, but I’ve been looking forward to this stretch of time ahead of me not having to be anywhere or do anything unless I feel like it. It will especially be nice not to be woken up by alarm clocks (well, other than the pointy-eared variety).
When I asked earlier about what summer stuff everyone was planning to do I still hadn’t made any major plans, and then I realised that what I wanted most was a month totally without plans. So there. 🙂
Well, there are a few things I want to do like go to the gym in the mornings and do some stuff around the apartment. But mostly I reckon I’ll be reading and hanging out online (hence that particular thumbnail), taking evening walks with Nog, going out for our *emergency cold beer and air-conditioning sessions* and the occasional tapa, and also watching films and playing with floppy cats who – I am very happy to report – appear to be friends again. They’ve even started playing fighting again, with no pee in sight, which to me is even more of a sign of them being pals again than falling asleep together.
For awhile it looked like a recent bad back incident (comment 19) had put the kibosh on my gym idea, but after a couple days of anti-inflammatories, gentle stretching and lots of walking I think I’ll be able to start back mañana.
Meanwhile, Sevilla has pretty much turned into a ghost town already, which is always a pleasant change of pace.
So all in all, August should be a nice month for carping the diem.
How’s your summer been so far?
