It isn't a great quality photo, but it was taken with an iPhone 2G and then majorly played with in iPhoto...not bad I think!

* 10:30 am - Got rubbed and petted! My favorite thing!
* 12:00 pm - Lunch! My favorite thing!
* 1:00 pm - Played in the yard! My favorite thing!
* 3:00 pm - Wagged my tail! My favorite thing!
* 5:00 pm - Milk bones! My favorite thing!
* 7:00 pm - Got to play ball! My favorite thing!

Excerpts from a Cat's Diary
Day 983 of my captivity.
My captors continue to taunt me with bizarre little dangling objects.
They dine lavishly on fresh meat, while the other inmates and I are fed hash or some sort of dry nuggets. Although I make my contempt for the rations perfectly clear, I nevertheless must eat something in order to keep up my strength. The only thing that keeps me going is my dream of escape.
In an attempt to disgust them, I once again vomit on the carpet.
Today I decapitated a mouse and dropped its headless body at their feet. I had hoped this would strike fear into their hearts, since it clearly demonstrates what I am capable of. However, they merely made condescending comments about what a "good little hunter" I am. Bastards!
There was some sort of assembly of their accomplices tonight. I was placed in solitary confinement for the duration of the event. However, I could hear the noises and smell the food. I overheard that my confinement was due to the power of "allergies." I must learn what this means, and how to use it to my advantage.
Today I was almost successful in an attempt to assassinate one of my tormentors by weaving around his feet as he was walking. I must try this again tomorrow --but at the top of the stairs.
I am convinced that the other prisoners here are flunkies and snitches.
The dog receives special privileges. He is regularly released - and seems to be more than willing to return. He is obviously retarded.
The bird has got to be an informant. I observe him communicate with the guards regularly. I am certain that he reports my every move. My captors have arranged protective custody for him in an elevated cell, so he is safe. For now . . .

Its been a while...
Hello bloggers...it's been quite a while since I updated this, so I thought I might try and sum up my life over the last few months!
First - my brother got married...
First - my brother got married...
and then we had Hannah's hen party (in that order...another story, another blog)
The boys built a human pyramid...
Phil burnt like a lobster...
We had our 20 week scan...
...and at 30 weeks pregnant I'm starting to feel a bit like a beached whale. I can no longer bend over/roll over/sit up/get up without sounding like an OAP, but on the plus side I beat Phil at giant Snakes and Ladders last week!
At the moment I am trying to wrap up what I have done of my Thesis so I can go on Maternity leave in December...in between my new obsession with patchwork quilting...so...that's a little sum-up of my life from August-October!
