Sad, Happy, Sleepy

Sad start to the day as we picked up our princess pwscat's ashes in the morning. We received a beautiful card from the vet who was with us during fudjcat's last moments earlier in the week:



Whilst out, we also picked up a frame for our recently printed pwscat photo:

Given the start to the day, it wasn"t really the best time four my office Christmas get-together. Bay hey ho.

Yours truly with work mates

'Twas a lovely meet-up, where x2 pre-starter double gins and x4 cider pints meant I soon fell asleep when I got home just after 8pm and brought an early end to the day.

Final Fog Foto

Wanting to devote my Lego building to Christmas themes during December,  I thought I had better get on with my Lego shoot of The Fog. And so I nipped down the shop during my dinner break and bought some cotton wall balls. This, I hoped, would create the impression of fog billowing into my church construction.:

All I needed to do then was light the thing up and, hey presto:

C-RUNCH

Listen to the power of his bite!

Father Malone Make-do

Back to the day job today, but thankfully working from home all week. Despite prostituting (not literally as I need a decent income )my time, I managed to find a decent lego stand in for Father Malone for my Lego set-up of the famous finale scene from The Fog.


Not a perfect impersonation, so I decided to change his heas and hair:

A Dream within a Dream

I watched one of my all-time favourite horror movies last weekend - John Carpenter's magnificently spooky The Fog. To ne, it is the perfect horror film - no gore, supernatural, atmopheric and with a top notch soundtrack.

Of course, any horror film I watch these days is to source a good scene for my Lego project and the following scene left me in no doubt what my next brick-would be:

My Lego repro begins...



Farewell, Furry Princess

Old age took our little furry pwscat this evening. On our vet's advice, she was given a strong steroid injection on Tuesday in the hope that it would give her a week or so window of struggle-free life, where palliative care could allow her to enjoy the last of her dwindling life. But its benefits lasted only a day or so and, within 48 hours, we returned the old lady for further medical care. There, the vet decided it was time to say our tearful, heartfelt goodbyes.

You will always be in our hearts, fudjcat. Our lives will be darker without your furry footsteps at our side. And all I can do right now, is share just a few of our memories of you in happier times. We will always love you. xxxx

I will end this post with a short video of her chilling in the freckling Summer sunshine:

This was harder to recreate than I had anticipated:


Poor Pwscat

Little fudjcakes is breaking all our hearts as we try to make the most of our last few days with her. Our vet says he would have treated her the same is she was his cat so all I hope is that we are doing our best by her. 

Sometimes life is unbearable, yet we still cling to it.

A Gottle of Geer

 A quick Lego set-up, this one? Can you name the scary film?
