I am a little confused about the number of views of this blog. You are many. In case you are all still waiting for more wedding photos I can now tell you that I have tried the obligatoriska three times, and posterous obviously hate weddings because there are no more wedding photos and I am tired if trying. I'm going to start planning a very thick photo album for our book shelf instead, and anyone who wants to look at more photos are welcome to visit us and our book shelf.

What a relieve, to move on from the wedding!

In november I travelled back to Älandsbro for another big event, Inez christening. Inez is our niece, posted earlier in a monkey suit, and her parents threw a party at my parents' house for neighbours, friends and family. We had problems getting time off our stuff in Stockholm so Nick couldn't go, but I'm glad i managed to get up there. Inez loooved the attention! With performers as parents and siblings it has probably something to do with genes.

Prepping and posing!

Ladies and babies.

 

 

But how are the cats doing?! The two girl-kittens and one boy-kitten are already in new homes, but the most scared little kitten-boy is still in the cat shelter. Cat shelter is where they hang out when they're waiting to be adopted and our job was to make them ready for people. They had a very bad picture of our Gnidde on the website, it was quite obvious that he was dead scared and wanting to die rather than be touched by human beings. We were mostly afraid he would get too old (very few adopt grown up cats) but the biggest problem seem to be that he is still very shy. He wasn't quite that scared when he was living here so I have some pictures of him looking like a comfortable and healthy kitten, which is now up on their website instead. It doesn't seem he will get a real home before Christmas though :( He is a very special kitten, reminds me of Ferdinand. Brita-bus, cat mom, is still with us and doesn't hate us with the same passion anymore. She's allowed into our bedroom when we are home and she's very fond of Nick's side of the bed and his slippers. And his feet. Everything is too scary with us (or maybe me, i try to pet her and stuff, horrible), she doesn't want to get close, unless it's Nick's feet hanging out from the couch. No problems walking by then to have a little sniff!

Looking at all the snow and stupid cars at the parking lot. All is well when you get to lay with your brother in a too small basket. But when new people are coming to visit the people of the house, the best place to hide is apparently in the shower (because cats love water, or wait..?).

 

On thursday night we're leaving again for Älandsbro, we're taking the train which could be horrible as the last few years have shown that the train company is not used to snow. There are many stories of people being stuck in a cold and dark train for hours, I don't want to be part of that. I'm bringing wooly stuff and hot cocoa! We're also bringing the skiis, but that's mainly for the luxury of just jumping on the skiis right outside the house and then ski in the forest. Woho! Nick is totally hooked, and just like me he has no idea what he's doing with the cross country skiis which just makes it even more fun. We're looking forward to eating julskinka and petting a cat that actually likes us. :)

 

Merry Christmas och God Jul!
