Miscreants, mankiness and birthdays

[blamebrampton]

It's been a while since I have put up photos of the cats, so to illustrate yesterday's story, here is Cookie, the tiny but fluffy cat who turned out to be perfectly well behaved the whole time (she likes to guard Mr B's computer while he is playing Internet Spaceships):



And this is Monster, who is much bigger than she looks in this shot, but very much the Investigating Kitty. She's simultaneously clever and thick, best described by the vet as Bright Within Herself:



They are very sweet little cats!

In other news, I have been doing physio for my bad foot since last December and it has had a real effect. A lot of the exercises are very much like barre exercises, and reminded me of how much I like the discipline of ballet, even though I am woefully out of both practise and ballet trim. So I ordered some DVDs of basic barre exercises to work through.

I told Mr B about this and he gave me A Look. While the main foot damage I have comes from a bad cycling accident, quite a bit is also dance-related. I blithely assured him that I knew my limits and would be fine. He told me that my body would rebel the minute I told it plies were in order.

Yesterday, my good foot was suddenly and inexplicably swollen and painful all around the back of the toes and top of the ball, so demi-pointe work was right out and I could only do a third of my physio. Today the DVDs arrived. (I think he thumped me in my sleep to prove a point. Or pointe.)

In other news, HAPPY BIRTHDAY ella_bane ! You gorgeous-haired creature, you! I started the day off thinking of you as my Merlin S3 DVD was in the same post as the ballet ones. Here's to lovely lads and adventures in chain mail! May your day be filled with all good things!

And Happy late birthday to realolacola  and sevenwindows  for yesterday, or, you know, technically the day before for sevenwindows  ... look, we know I am tardy, but I confess I was distracted picking up the Cookie Cat and telling her how glad I was she had not been eaten by Erskineville. Nevertheless, I hope you both had great days and that this year is filled with fabulous live music, friends and adventures!

One blogger will read what the most established fat cat has been writing, and she will challenge it. They were first adopted by miners and stevedores in the late 19th [url=http://www.shoppatriotsjerseysnfl.com/kids_super-bowl-tom-brady-elite-limited-game-jersey/]Super Bowl Tom Brady Jersey[/url] century as a convenient covering during hot season.They wanted to understand the things of God and the only way this could be done was through the temptation to do evil.As well as the advantages of Internet, it has [url=http://www.shoppatriotsjerseysnfl.com/womens_super-bowl-julian-edelman-elite-limited-game-jersey/]Super Bowl Julian Edelman Youth Jersey[/url] also helped in doing business, shopping, etc, all from the comfort of your own home. But as we've discussed here many times, there is also fellow wide receiver Hakeem Nicks and his contract to consider, and the Giants may try to lowball Cruz thinking they can replace their dynamic slot receiver if need be. These may help replace the damaged cells. It makes no sense to me why [url=http://www.shoppatriotsjerseysnfl.com/womens_super-bowl-jamie-collins-elite-limited-game-jersey/]Super Bowl Jamie Collins Jersey[/url] they insist on messing with it.She thrives on conflict.
