The Whole Kitten Caboodle

So we had a little event in the early hours of Monday morning. 1.30am to be specific!

I was awakened by a punch in the eye from Cali the cat. "Ouch! Get off, you." This was followed by the "lion killing an antelope" move, teeth straight into my throat! I suddenly realize what's happening, it's time for that now basketball sized belly to pop. So I Michael Jordan it the hell out of bed (I don't know enough about basketball to make a proper analogy so just accept that sentence).

We sit for about 20 minutes together at the top of the stairs, ever wondered what a cat having contractions looks like? Well here you go...

Much what I imagine a human having contractions looks like, with less susceptability for meme-ing.

We eventually head downstairs and (I'll spare you all the gory details and pics) yada, yada, yada, 5 kittens!!

Okay, one gory(ish) pic...

Slimey kittens!

It took 4 hours in total then all 7 of us collapsed. Til the mewwwwing awoke us.

Now enjoy some adorable kitten pics!

Individual posts about each kitten coming to a blog near you!

Well it's coming to my blog.

At some point. 

Stop hassling me!

The Comet Festival!

So on my way to pick up some cat litter (more on that little nugget tomorrow, oh the excitement! Hold that excitement lest you need some cat litter of your own...don't poop your pants! ...is what I'm saying. I think. ...I'm off track. Let's restart this post...)

So on my way to pick up some cat litter, I stopped of at the Comet Festival. Oh the excitement! Don't poop your pants.

"Fun fair" is a bit of a stretch, though I'm sure they were having fun in the beer tent. ...which is fair enough. I guess it is a fun fair then.

One of the rides, or a ghost house maybe. Anyway I was very fond of the pirate flags atop so I took it's picture.

A giant Mickey Mouse inflatable slide! Mickey always seems to show up at these things. You'd think he'd be too much of a big shot, but there he is, sitting up on high, looking down on all, like the fat cat he is. ...Or big cheese, if you will.

Kid with a super cool Hello Kitty balloon!! I was so jealous I went on a mission to, per chance, purchase one of my own. Turns out it was out of my price range: £3.50. Eff off! I don't have that kind of money! So for £1 I got the toughest, roughest, baddest mofo glitter tattoo they had.

That's right, a disembodied My Little Pony head. You just try not to have that haunt your dreams!!

And then it rained, no, THUNDERSTORMED on my walk home.

But we can't end a blogpost on such a note, so here is a very pretty, if soaked rose in my garden.

The Birthday Roundup!

A week since turning 29, here is a (rhyming) photo essay of my birthday. Enjoy!

Feeling cool as Fred Astaire

This new top hat I'll wear

Like the call from a bugle

There's a birthday wish from Google

Breakfast: hyper inducing,

Let's eat that giant cupcake

Then some trick shots and no mistake

Not hyper enough?

 How 'bout a Dolce Gusto coffee pod?

It's like drinking satin,

Then we'll sing like Princess Jasmine

 

Or like Princess Ariel

But like a princess for sure.

I don't care if you're a man,

You're not getting to be Peter Pan

You're a princess

And a wonderful present

I must say

Cause it's practically perfect in every way

The sun is shining

And I feel debonair

Cause today I am cool

Like Mr Fred Astaire

Death Of A Snowman

 

 

 

9 Days Til Halloween: Gettin in the Spirit

 BEWARE of Witchy D.

She watches MSNBC. hey that rhymes!

 Fangs the Black Cat

I met this guy today, good guy.

I want all of the following please!!

Mmm, monkey nuts with a hint of rat. Yum!

Gardening Catalogues Are Fun

At last!! I've always wanted to confuse cats, and now I CAN!

 

I need to get the hamster union on the phone. This is clearly copyright infringement of the famous hamster ball. Tut tut tut.

  

This guy ain't taking none-a your sh**.

 And I leave you with this lovely lady, who is apparently departing a morgue.

Good day.

....I said GOOD DAY!

My Day In Pictures

 There I am. Hello you!

 A sleepy Chino.

 An origami heart I made using ladybird origami paper.

...because I attempted to make the ladybird but...let's say it died...

actually it was never born. It got aborted, as it were.

 Did some writing! Yay!

 It was 30c here today so I opted for a blue slush puppy ice pole!
Love those slush puppys.

And we finish with a packet of hula hoops. 

Thanks for watching, we'll see you next time,

here on "Things Laura Did to Prevent Boredom".

Laura D In Santa Cruz

Yes, Santa Cruz, that place made famous by Master System's California Games:

Well, to some of us anyway!

I shall describe the day via PHOTO ESSAY.

That's right! PHOTO ESSAY! Let's get to it.

These are my feet and legs on a bus. (Other parts of me not pictured)

Obligatory scenery and window glare

Here's the part of the bus where you get your emergency salad

We're here! And at a bookshop no less!
Apologies to the man with the funky expression on his face.

For some reason there was a dead lady encased in glass.
I would have reported it to the police but there were too many hippies around
 and I didn't want to be called a NARK.

Much like this Chloe Abbot.
Though I have to say, I was only there 10 minutes before she
was telling everybody that I had sweets before dinnertime.
Stop telling on me Chloe Abbot!!

This is where we were. In fact, this was actually a live webcam,

that's my husband and I right next to Parking Control. That's us!

Um...okay

EXPERIENCE BIJ!!!!

I have to tell the Lab Scientist about this book...

At a pizza place, I met up with my friend Terry.

He only has one foot and I shared my pizza with him.

His full name is Terrence Black but his friends call him Terry.

THOSE MIGHTY MORPHIN POWER RANGERS!!!

These are the contents of a toilet.

BAAAAAAAAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHHHAHHAHAHHA

And on the way back home I saw where the Animaniacs live!
