Yes yes…more kitties!

|

Many things happened in the pas 6-7 months… One of the happy events was our cat Yoshimi giving birth to 5 beautiful kittens. Photos go chronologically from the time she was still pregnant to now that we are left with two of her kitties (Mingus the black cat and Nazca the white one). Also we are now the proud owners of yet another kitten (why stop at 3 cats when you can have four…). It has no name, yet! For the moment we call it Foufie, until we get to know her better and find her a proper name! Enjoy the parade of kitty photos!!!! This was taken a week before she gave birth This was an attempt to take some pictures of the kittens in order to find families to adopt them; she got so stressed we took them out of the nest that we had to quickly put them back… This is Nazca, she still ‘lives’ with us. Her new mother is going to pick her up in August. She is going to live in Italy! What a cosmopolitan kitty! The were too cute to put down.. And this is Mingus, the one we kept for ourselves! This…

Remnants of summer and automn!

|

I just emptied my phone from around 300 photos… Haven’t done that since August… So I decided to make a post with a selection of photos. Lilly sleeping and looking very comfortable in an uncomfortable position… A huuuuuggeee, fist sized, moth I spotted on the way to work on a hot August morning.   A last September swim in Pandeli. One of the things I miss about summer during the winter is not the weather (I hate summer weather) but rather being in the sea!   I designed this cake and the pastry cook realized it! One of the best meals I’ve had at the lovely Mylos restaurant!   When she is not wondering out in the ‘wilderness’ she is almost always sleeping…   And autumn arrived with some great storms… And yes autumn is my favorite time of the year! Perfect temperature and rain!!   And some great cloudy skies   In Athens for the Christmas holidays. It was really interesting how the city has changed in a matter of years!   CHOCOLATEEEE!!!   We tried molecular cocktails on my birthday.. I was not impressed, even though I absolutely loooovee cocktails   Aaaand back to the office….   I hope…

What the past couple of months looked like

|

In February was the Greek carnival! Here we have a good specimen of what homemade zombies look like!   and we also had Ash Monday, with a great meal of seafood..   I sometimes think she is plotting against us…     Spring is here     full of crazy colors   and the usual cat in the dumpster   crazy wild flowers I wish I had in mygarden  

Random snaps that were left behind since last spring!

|

So I decided that in order for this blog to seem still alive I will post a few snaps from last spring until about a month ago… As I still cannot find the time to upload proper posts I have decided that for the moment I will post snapshots (which are very often taken with my phone)! Enjoy 🙂   First spring coffee under the sun!! Easter Sunday (a big deal in Greece) and little brother woke up late The rollings on cement Summer full moon can be majestic It gets so humid in the summer that the road is literally shining When autumn comes and it gets a little gold she always comes to sleep in the bedroom. As for the rest of the year she doesn’t care about us Making pomegranate liqueur for Christmas! The easiest gift, recipe here! I woke up to this… Cute and scary at the same time! Don’t let looks deceive you he is a little devil! Sunbathing after the storm Oh hi, are you sitting on the computer? Oh well I’ll sit on your keyboard… Yum yum!!  

I have been playing around with photoshop.

|

So, this week I spent a little too much time in photoshop (considering I had a crazy amount of work to do..) As you can see I discovered ‘actions’ in photoshop and I went CRAZYYY… I even remade old photos. Photos that weren’t nice at all, suddenly became interesting Out of focus images and bad quality ones Cute ones and some even cuter… I have forgoten the time she was so small… I even tried to make romantic ones and borring ones were spiced up! Cuteness never stops…

Sunday blogging and relaxing

|

I always wait for Sunday with such enthusiasm. It’s the only day of the week I do not work… And I always have grant plans, which I almost NEVER manage to fulfil.. Today I managed to do most of the things I had planed and the evening is still young.

The fact that it has been raining almost all day helped a lot.

Another thing that helped a lot was borrowing/confiscating my boyfriend’s iphone…
