Bella Tonks

Lots of things have been happening since the end of June regarding our cats. We had two - Hermes (black) and Loki (orange) - seen here:



but we also introduced a new addition to our little family, a little white male kitten who we've named Zeus:





He's now three months old, our guestimation considering we rescued him as he was dumped off in front of my sister-in-law's Avondale Store. He's a holy terror, but a very affectionate little bugger as well.

Yesterday we also had Hermes have a wee visit with the Vet because of a growth on the back of his leg. It had started bleeding the other day, which concerned us - but the vet assured us it was not cancer or any other bad thing. It's actually a benign growth and something very rare in cats - a skin tag. The vet was actually giddy in discovering it because Hermes is the second cat she's known/seen in the 15 years of being a vet to have one.

So yeah - our cat has a rare, freaky skin tag. Go figure *shakes head, laughing* But, it's given us a lot of peace of mind now that we know what it is. We'll still keep an eye on it and it's no problem to have it lopped off if it becomes a problem for Hermes so that's good news as well.

For a lot of hardwork done over the summer, big bossman gave me and my co-worker $150.00 in gift certificates at Canadian Tire.  Instead of buying something practical I actually splurged and bought myself a digital camera.  I likes my new toy, though the cats do not.  Pictures to come ;)

I'm really craving sushi right now.  Lots of sushi.  With enough wasabi to clear out my sinuses.  Oooo and a spicy shrimp roll.  *okay am stopping now because this is very cruel to my appetite*

Neville is proving to be quite difficult to write at the moment - damn his conscience.  I wish he'd be a good little wizard and enjoy the smut that I am writing him in.

Completed map of Hogsmeade for darkesthour_rpg and found an excellent source for Diagon Alley, Godric's Hollow and Ottery St. Catchpoole.  It's a good thing I love making maps.  Other details are coming along quite nicely - hopefully can start sending out notices by the end of October.

I am really enjoying all of these "20 Random Facts of..." that are popping up all over the place.  I'm very fond of character exploration and wonder if I should do one...

My Ravenclaw circa film 3 scarf is progressing rather fast.  Wish I had circular knitting needles but hindsight is 20/20.  Will most likely fold it in half and stitch it.  I'm pretty sure it will still be wide enough for practical use.  I need to get more yarn to complete my Gryffindor afghan.

The husband and I have been catching Spaced on the Showcase channel on Sunday nights.  I am really, really starting to have a crush on Simon Pegg I think.  Plus, Nick Frost in a pink spandex top and porn 'stach is...interesting.
