Flashback Feline Friday Friendlies and Photo Fail

Happy Feline Friday


A flashback to 2014. 

tabby cat close-up



And now for the Foto Fail.

I don't mean to embarrass Mum, but what is this blurry, unfocused mess?
 


Friendly Fill-Ins 

Ellen of  15andmeowing came up with the first two and her co-host, Lorianne of Four-Legged Furballs came up with the second two. 

1. I keep ___________________, but _____________________. 
2. I don’t need _____________, but I want _________________. 
3. I would want _________ to be etched onto my tombstone. 
4. If I heard something go bump in the night, _________.

. 
MARIE
1. I keep trying many things, but nearly always fail. 
2. I don’t need a lot of money, but I want to be comfortable. Though having more money would help me with opening my own cat sanctuary/rescue.
3. I would want "A friend to animals, especially cats" to be etched onto my tombstone. 
4. If I heard something go bump in the night, I'm sure Athena would hear it first.

ATHENA
1. I keep trying to make Mum sleep all day so I can lie on her to keep warm, but I always fail. She only naps for an hour or two.
2. I don’t need or want much, but I want more food and attention.
3. I would want a pic of me and Mum to be etched onto my tombstone. 
4. If I heard something go bump in the night, I would go and explore.

Mum couldn't resist turning my photo into art while she was editing over on BeFunky. She used the digital cartoonizer effect.

Nightwish - Metal From Finland #MewsicMonday

This post contains affiliate links. Full disclosure.

Happy Mewsic Monday! 🤘🏻


Hi, music fans!


Choose a country and build a list of rock songs from that country is this week's theme requested by October's Mewsic Moves Me honorary co-hostess Mary at Jingle Jangle Jungle.  

We have chosen...




As a Brit, Mum's music collection has always consisted mainly of British artists, plus a lot of American artists as well. There's no doubt about it, many of the classic rock/metal bands are from the UK. And we know the USA has always had amazing rock bands as well.

Sadly, British music has been going downhill ever since the Nineties. Nothing exceptional had captured Mum's soul or ears since then so all she did during the Noughties was listen to music from the past, especially 80s music. 

Then in 2007, that all changed.

While researching the Romantic poets Byron and Shelley on YouTube for her novel Poet's Blood, she came across a Finnish band called Nightwish. You see, someone had uploaded a video of clips from the BBC Byron drama series and had replaced the audio with the song "Sleeping Sun" by Nightwish.

If only Mum could find that video now because she's searched and she can't find it anywhere, so it must have been deleted. However, you can watch the official Nightwish video of the song below. 

This beautiful song enthralled Mum instantly. Mum wanted to find out more about this band she had never heard of, and why had she not heard of them before?  The lead vocalist sounded kind of Irish, were they from Ireland? 

No, she soon discovered that this amazing band called Nightwish was a Finnish band and actually of the metal genre - a new breed of metal (for Mum at the time) - Symphonic Metal. Mum was hooked. She had now found the music that spoke to her soul. Music that included most genres of music that truly moves her. Metal, rock, classical, orchestral, operatic, dramatic, bombastic, mellow, melancholic - it speaks to her like no music has ever had. This is her SOUL music. It inspires her - to write, to create, to sing, to heal.

So, here, without further ado - we have music from Finnish band Nightwish.  



 SLEEPING SUN  

The song that started it all for Mum.

Featuring the vocals of Tarja Turunen (lead vocalist from 1996–2005). 

 


GHOST LOVE SCORE






AMARANTH

Anette Olzon from Sweden took over lead vocals from  2007 to 2012.


SONG OF MYSELF

Flashback Instagram Feline Friday Friendly Fill-Ins

Happy Friday! 

Today we thought we'd look back at some of our Instagram photos. Mum created an account for me back in February 2014. 




 Here are a few of our first uploads below or click here to take you to my account.

FRIENDLY FILL-INS 

1. I might______________________. 
2. I want to ________________________ before fall is over. 
3. If my house were haunted, _________. 
4. _________ is the scariest thing that’s ever happened to me.

MARIE

1. I might just explode from all the emotions I feel within me sometimes.
2. I want to cut/trim our overgrown shrubs and hedges before fall is over. 
3. If my house were haunted, I'm sure Athena would have let me know by now. I would have known it too as I'm sensitive to atmospheres just like a cat. Our house is 25 years old. Let's hope it isn't haunted!  4. Losing my dad to liver cancer and my beloved tuxedo cat Suzy to cancer is the scariest thing that’s ever happened to me.


ATHENA

1. I might make Mum take a nap right now. 
2. I want to go out in the catio a bit more before fall is over. 
3. If my house were haunted, I'd know about it.
4. Been abandoned while I was a tiny helpless kitten is the scariest thing that’s ever happened to me. Mum taking me to the cat hotel once and leaving me there while she went off on holiday was scary too.
