Hawaiian Kitty Memories

We’re back! And severely jet lagged. I didn’t fall asleep until 7 this morning and only got up at 3 in the afternoon. Yikes (o_O)

But it was all worth it because we had a fabulous holiday. I’ll try to sort out our pics and upload a few if I get any time soon. But first we have to handle the unpacking, housework and sorting out of holiday gifts. Which brings me to…….

ta-dahhh!

Aren’t these so pretty?  They’re all so cute that I can’t decide which ones to give you, Jo and Di.  So can you pick one each and let me know which ones they are?  The leftover two will be for GM’s sis and one of my friends respectively.

Close-ups below.

Suntanned hula girl kitty.  Comes with a tag that says “Hawaii”, they all do in fact.

Suntanned Hawaii number plate kitty.

Pineapple kitty with flower on her head.  I have one of these myself.

Okay let me know asap which ones you two want!

On Hols for Two Weeks!

Hello everyone!

GM and I are going to be on hols for the next two weeks. See you when we get back with lots of holiday snaps!

Happy Birthday Ah Ma!

Dear Ah Ma,

Millie wants to wish you “Happy Birthday” too!  It’s not midnight here yet so it’s still 22nd September and she’s still in time.  She’s just a little bit late because she’s a nocturnal creature and only just got up!

So once again GM and I, and now Millie too wish you a very happy, healthy, prosperous, lucky and smooth sailing year ahead! ♥

Millie X LX3

GM surprised me again today!

He’d told me in an email that a dress I’d ordered had arrived (I got it sent to his work address) so I didn’t think anything of it when he was digging around in his bag tonight and took out a parcel.  I soon noticed though that instead of just the one parcel there were two so I asked him what it was and he said, “A present for you”!  How exciting!

And it was…………………

The Panasonic Lumix LX3!

Wow I was so surprised!  I’ve wanted this camera for ages, MONTHS.  I contemplated buying it when I was in HK in early May but because I’d already spent lots of money in Perth and just bought a new bag in HK I was feeling guilty so I didn’t.  And regretted it after I came home.

Here’s what it looks like.  I borrowed this pic off google images.  GM has even ordered me the leather case from Japan!  It’s on its way.

I tested it on our Millie.  She’s grown a bit, can you tell?

GM and I have made real progress this last week in terms of bonding with her.  Tonight I lured her to my cupped hands with a bit of broccoli and instead of snatching it and running off to eat it somewhere else, she stayed in my hands.  But the most amazing thing is, she not only stayed in my hands, she actually sat down!  Isn’t she cute?

The pic is a bit blur because she moves a lot, very quickly.

After eating she did her normal grooming.  Soooooooooooooooooo cute!

And finally, a good shot of her looking straight at me.   Hehe.

Today has been a lovely day because it was really quiet in the office so I had a good time slacking off haha.  I met GM for lunch and we tried out a little Thai restaurant in the area which was actually pretty good.  Work gave me a mobile, a Nokia 3109, not great but at least now I will be able to call and text my friends free of charge haha.   My application for funding to study a Japanese language course was approved over the stipulated maximum amount (£200, I got £255) and I was informed that I have been accepted into the course to start on 29 September.  I came home and got the dress that I’ve been wanting for a long time which I thought might have gotten lost in the post since the Royal Mail are going through a series of strikes at the moment and apparently have a backlog of millions of letters and parcels undelivered.  And then I got a surprise gift that I have been coveting for ages!  And Millie sat in my hands and ate broccoli!

What a wonderful day!

But I feel a bit bad because GM keeps buying me all these surprise gifts and I never buy him any.

Millie Says “Hi”!

Hallo guys!  Miss me?

I’ve been keeping myself busy, exploring my new home.

Once a day I get to go out in my new green ball.  At first I didn’t quite know what to do in it and just sat there and groomed myself but I soon learnt that it’s really fun!  I get to go around the house looking at new things!  I even turbo-ed up to the carpeted hallway once and hurtled into all the rooms, wow that was an exciting experience!

Here I am in one of my more pensive moments.

My mummy is always trying to get me to sit in her hand – she tries to trick me with lots of seeds in her palm.  I still don’t like to be held much though, but I don’t mind stepping all over her hands to get somewhere.

My other favourite activity is running in my wheel.  I run in it lots and lots.  After I run I groom myself and sometimes have a nibble, especially if mummy and daddy are on hand to feed me.  But sometimes I get tired and fall asleep mid-groom.

Here I am, fast asleep on my wheel.

Sometimes I am in such a deep sleep that I roll off the wheel.  On this occasion I fell off head-first and faceplanted into my lavender sawdust.

I still stayed fast asleep though.

Obviously I also love to have lots of little nibbles.

My mummy was disturbing my feeding time, yodeling “Millie menini~~~” and other silly names at me so I looked to see what she was on about.

Aren’t I a pretty girl?  My mummy and daddy think I am very photogenic!

Tata everyone, till next time!
