It’s been quite interesting to see how much bigger Pixel is getting. When I look at photos of her now compared to the day we got her, she’s really filled out. She’s turned into such a cuddly little thing and as I type this she’s asleep wedged between myself and the back of the office chair. Every morning she likes to put her face right next to mine and slap me on the nose until I get up. I’m sure this will become incredibly annoying at some point, but right now (and I hope for a very long time), she makes very happy. So here’s a kitty update with lots of new photos. As you can see, she’s a very lazy kitty (when she’s not attacking shoes, toilet rolls, bouncy balls and falling down toilets.)

(Boring post about my cat, I know, what have I become?)
We took Pixel to see Magda, her sister, the other day. We thought it’d be a pleasant kitty play date, however, that wasn’t quite how it turned out. After a few hours of wanting to kill each other, the cats settled on play fighting for the entire evening. Here’s a video montage. Pixel is the one doing most of the killing!

So, Pixel is perhaps the cutest little thing ever. Bundles of energy (involving attacking my feet non-stop all night whilst I try to sleep), slowly getting used to humans, but utterly adorable. I had been eyeing her up for a few weeks. I noticed a while ago that a neighbour of mine (who I do not know) had some kittens in their garden. When it was warm it was OK, they loved being in the garden. As it got colder I realised that he wasn’t taking good care of them – they were out in the pouring rain day and night and looked lost, cold, and unloved. I have never been able to have a cat before because my Mama and I are allergic (her a lot worse than I). I haven’t been too bad since she’s been around. My face itches a lot and my eyes water, but it’s all worth it to save such a gorgeous little creature from an uncertain life. She is absolutely tiny. We got the runt of the bunch (A saved another one), but just so so so damn gorgeous. Journey to old demented cat lover starts here….
I think she’s just started to realise that I’m not evil having stolen her from her home, but that she’s pretty damn lucky with her brand new warm bed and non stop cuddles. Long live Pixel!

My oh my I am a little behind in blogosphere. When I don’t post for a while I start getting a little concerned that I will forget things. I haven’t even written about my lovely trip to the New Forest and there’s still plenty of other images to post, too…
The camping trip was pretty amazing. I’ve never been camping before, other than at Glastonbury, and I don’t really class that as camping. I’m not quite sure how we came to the decision of camping in March in England, which pretty means disaster weather, but it was a rather spontaneous decision. The past week or so had been pretty rough for both of us, I think, so the need to just hop in the car and drive into the distance was very much present. We coasted around the New Forest, whizzed along the west coast around Dorset pretty much taking photos, visiting strange little towns and enjoying both being out of our respective cities.
We called this home for three nights:
I’ve never put up a tent before either so that was another mile stone. I really wish my parents had taken me camping as a kid. We cooked on this ridiculously pathetic stove (actually it wasn’t even a stove, just a pan with firelighters underneath) and I loved it. I ate French Fancies for breakfast, drank beer before bed and was woken up one morning by a wild pony trying to stomp me to death in my tent. What more could I ask for? And I got to wake up to this face every morning:
Beautiful, eh? Anyway, I won’t bore you with the details. Here’s the pretty normal photos from the trip, I’ll post the prettier ones in staggered posts. Here we go…
