Friday smiles ...Smudge finds a cosy spot ...and a forgotten ATC.

Nearly missed it again ....knew the date was the 21st as my gorgeous twin grandsons, Ben and Jake, turned five today and I sang 'Happy Birthday' over the phone to them ...but the fact that it was Friday slipped by unnoticed ...almost ....except that it struck me that tomorrow was going to be Saturday !!!

The photo I wanted to use is in fact on my DD camera so will use it another day but Smudge created a photo opportunity for me instead.
I have a bag hanging on the understairs cupboard which is in a strange place ...just by the back door ...and it contains old tea towels and cloths ...ready for what ever  use ....and away from cat hair so I thought.
As I went to grab one, this is what I found ....


 Dont you just love the expression of annoyance to have his comfy space discovered ...and to be woken to boot.

Talking of birthdays ....GS Kris was 6 on the 16th ....why is it they want to pull a face when you point a camera ....he just wanted to giggle and was trying to stop. He had a fantastic day out with 12 friends at  bowling and crazy golfing....Jay and Vicki must be mad but they had it so organized that it all went to plan.
  Now lets get back to that bag ....that all 20 cats have totally ignored ...'til today ....I saw Barnaby trying to annoy Smudge when he was in it ....10mins later ....... this is what I found


Lastly I have to say this brought a huge smile to my face as I opened it ....a gift from Slovenia ...I am not sure whether it was a surpise ATC ....or I had just totally forgotten....I think the latter...
Thank you so very much Dolores aka Cardarian ....it is so beautiful.

These are things that made me smile this week ...I hope they bring a smile to you too
Take Care. xx

I love your cat photos. It always tickles me, the places they chose to rest. Have you really got 20 of them?! I am down to just three now, but I have had nine at a time. I've gained three rescue dogs now instead, but one day I shall have a long haired ginger cat. That is about the only sort I haven't had yet.
I can't decided whether your grandson is pleased to be photographed or not. They never really cooperate do they and then you both end up mad or in giggles. Hopefully it was the latter. Thanks for the smiles and for visiting me earlier. Kate x

Loved the kitty hammock. Cats amaze me at the positions they get into and still somehow manage to be comfortable.
I do that too on dates. Know the date but sometimes the day of the week I am on slips by. Nice save.

Happy Birthday to the boys for sharing my birthday week! Super post and Smudge looks such fun, great pics. Thanks for your comments and your birthday wishes too, I've had a good week.

It's an often used expression over here, "come... you've got to see this!" and it's usually one of us showing the other some weird place the cats have found. Jack is usually the best at it as he seems to search out and delight in finding odd places to lay... and as big as he is, he doesn't always completely fit.

As for your grandson's expression, our 6yr old grandson does the same. Most pics we have are of him pulling some weird face... :)

Thanks for visiting my blog earlier this week. Love those cat pictures. It is very true in that you don't own cats, they own you.

Have a great week x

Such cute photos.

Carmen said...

How on Earth do they get in the bag without pulling it off the door? Brilliant pictures though :)

Carmen said...

Plus - 5 already? How can that be!

Just catching up with the last few weeks smiles...
I want to make some witty comment about 'cat out of the bag' but the words are just not coming to me!

Cats have great imaginations and a sense of creativity!
