Chaos Reigns

Well, we are back from globetrotting. No more holiday for us until..... well, ever at the moment. I have all of 2 days leave left to last me till next year! Although thats because I've booked christmas as time off you see.

Alaska was v cool. We had very good weather most of the time, quite often it being warmer over there than it was here. We were very fortunate and got do some extraordinary things and see some amazing sights. Glaciers rock.

We also had a great deal of fun with Kurths senior but especially Kurth junior!

Lake district brought us back to England. Lake district weather is summarised as such:

Low cloud base. Dull.

Low cloud base. Rain.

Low cloud base. Wind and Rain.

Low cloud base occasionally lifting to allow some view.

Fortunately we chose our big walks on days the cloud base lifted so we could actually see some of the sights. I've never really been to the Lake District. I like it a lot. I did laugh at the Miss Potter film though where it is always sunny in the Lake District. We also had a fine cottage and waterproofs so the end result was good.

Alaska photos are mostly on facebook. I took 211 photos just myself! I intend to stick a slideshow jobby on the side some point soon.

But the point of the post title is down to approx 4kg of fur, paw and ears. We have picked up cat No2. This is one of the cats found round my Nans shed a while ago. He got taken in with all his siblings and mother by the Cat Protection League charity. However, they are now old enough to be homed by themselves. The Protection league people were quite happy for us to have one of them back.

So, white-socked tabby kitten now named Samson has now taken up residence in the spare room and is dutifully proving to be a whirlwind of a mess creating ball of energy-charged fur. If he's awake, good luck doing anything productive in the spare room. No space is sacred, and keyboards are a particular favourite, as is tugging the mouse lead from under the desk.

At the moment, I am fortunate as he is sleeping. Right in front of me. Bec has taken about a zillion photos of him in various stages of cuteness (he still hasn't figured out his reflection in the mirror, providing much amusement) but I can't see her camera.

So here, hastily taken is Samson the chaos generator. He's discovered the shredder bin as a fantastic source of play material . But he's cute when he's sleeping......
