Photos from August 2011

Postby Malt-Teaser » 22 Aug 2011, 16:36

t'is indeed a sunny day in Bayern today with a rather healthy 30-odd degrees (of the °C variety).

Kiara has decided to decamp to the balcony for a little shut-eye and shade


Image

Ahh, the joys of a lazy summer afternoon

Image

Look, stop pointing that bloody thing at me, I'm trying to rest out here!

Image


Thank you, that's better

Image


Meanwhile, at a flower box not too far away ........

Quick, hurry whilst she's asleep

Image



Edit:
Or, as Oliver may be tempted to say "Kiara firmly deposes all-comers as Mayoress of local balcony 4sq.cat"

Sorry in advance for posting something definitely not from August 2011, but my last 'Kiara' post reminded me that she was 10 years old at the end of July this year.

Was it really that long ago when she first adopted the then 'not yet' Mrs. Malty?

Lake Bohinj
I have just come back from two weeks in Slovenia with the family. A truly wonderful place to be. This is a photo of Lake Bohinj, in the Julian Alps. Fresh glacial water, wonderful swimming, canoeing and hiking. Wow!


Another little lake up in the mountains. And, as you can see, the water was coooollld.

Meanwhile, back at 4sq.cat

Kiara may have claimed the free flower box area, but I'm Queen of the balcony foot-stool and that Malty ain't putting his feet anywhere near it this evening.

No, it's mine I tell you, all mine.

Image


Beg all you like, I'm staying put..

Nice pictures Malty. I love cats, but...

Today I came home from shoppimng to the news one of my cats had been taken to the vet by someone in the village after being run over. The message was "would you like the body back to bury or shall we cremate him?"

Cats become part of the family, so it's knocked us a bit. My daughter is away for the weekend, and the cat was nominally hers. So having lost her grandmother recently, the other taken into hospital with a tumour on the heart a few weeks later, it's going to be a fraught time when she gets back.

Back to humans. Here is one of Omar's 70+ virgins waiting for him in the sky.

She's not in the sky, she's not waiting for Omar, and she's not--well, you get the drift.

No nasty comments please - you lot can be really cruel.

Yes, that's a wine glass.

Yes, it's real.

Yes, it is. I do appreciate that sometimes the glass in one's hand may be a figment of the imagination, but in this case, yes, it's real - camera's don't lie.

Nick,
very sorry to hear that news as yes, cats are very much part of the family and sadly, I also had a couple of similar experiences since I met Mrs. Malty.
