Very Close-Up #SundaySelfie

Look into my eyes...

It's a sad day for us here as Mum remembers her brother. It's been two years since he passed and Mum says the grief is still so raw that it feels like only yesterday. 

So we're sharing some photos in his memory. 

This is Mum and my uncle John in the early 1970s. Mum likes the photo but hates the way she looks. John was a happy smiley baby as you can see.

In our hearts always

Mum finds it difficult to write these days that's why our blog posts now contain very little text. It pains her because she wanted to write a lot more about her beloved brother but says she can't. 

He was a talented guitarist, musician and songwriter. He did it because he loved it and always said he wasn't interested in becoming famous. 

So here's a couple of music excerpts of John playing guitar we'd love to share. The volume is quite low though so you may have to adjust it a little. 

Have a listen if guitar solos are your thing and you'd love to hear it, but not too loud as it might blow your ears off!

Some New Artsy Effects #CaturdayArt

So we've been checking out the new BeFunky AI - Artsy GFX Series effects and Mum had fun creating these pics.

According to BeFunky, the GFX Series "represents our smartest and most realistic AI photo to art technology to date". 

Just a reminder though - we're not affiliated with BeFunky but Mum is a subscriber and loves all the effects so often gives them a mention on our arty posts.

Dangling #SundaySelfie

Here I am dangling my long paw over the edge of the bed. 

It's raining out and quite cold for July so I'm going to stay warm here.

Anyway, it's almost time for my easy nap. Just waiting for Mum to join me. By the way, she says thanks for all the birthday greetings in yesterday's posts!
