Week 10's theme was "Rough" and this is my old ratty 61 year old Lambretta sitting in the garden in the same spot for the best part of 2 years.
Again, shot in IR 850nm and very much a snap as opposed to a decent photo. But it meets the weeks challenge and so I'm happy.
(3/12 For Elsie-cat)
A new variation on leapfrog... Elsie cat (and sneaky shadow-cat) jump over Barney-dog. Last week, I was trying to find a way to get Elsie jumping predictably, so I could take action photos... Turns out, she's quite happy to jump repeatedly from a stool to a table - so long as I put out some really tasty food in a bowl on the table, as a reward. Barney was initially banished from the garden while I photographed Elsie but he squeaked so pitifully from inside (the camera shutter works the same as a clicker for him - he knows it means treats and fun!), that I let him join us and made use of him as an obstacle. Last week, Barney was, at times, a little unsure about whether he was OK with being jumped over by a temperamental cat and it took quite a bit of patience to get Elsie to make the leap.
This week, we tried again and both participants were much better in their roles as obstacle and athlete :) Barney held his nerve, stayed very still and smiled for the camera. Elsie was almost too keen - she definitely remembered the "training" we did last week - the instant I sat her on the stool, she wanted to take off, which made getting even a halfway decent shot of her in flight rather difficult. Half the time, she'd be leaping before I was in position with the camera. Attempting to take action shots of an independent kitty cat was entertaining but reminded me that having a model like Barney-dog, who happily stays until told to move and jumps on queue (not two seconds before, or 3 minutes after being asked!) is really rather handy when it comes to taking photos... .
It was a fun little session and I was pleased that Barney and Elsie got on so nicely throughout. Although I've technically had Elsie longer than I've had Barn, they lived separately until quite recently - Elsie at mum's, Barney with my dad and step-family. Barney's great with cats and has been extremely gentle with her, but Elsie is taking a while to trust him. It's coming though... she's definitely less grumpy interacting him these days, more relaxed and friendly. They've even started conspiring to take my own bed off me, happily stretching out within a few inches of each other and not leaving much room for the human!
*To those over on ipernity, sorry - I know this shot is very similar to last week's over there :)
[10 coisas sobre uma menina que adora ser menina]
1. Gosto de dormir a sesta, todos os dias. Sempre que posso tiro 30 minutos depois do almoço para fechar os olhinhos e descansar.
2. Quando era criança dizia que queria fazer carreira no circo. Agora que sou grande e que não enveredei por essa área, ainda não sei muito bem o que quero ser.
3. Sou extremamente vaidosa e faço o que for preciso para me sentir bem na minha pele.
4. Sou atenciosa e sensível e ligo às pequenas coisas, mais do que a tudo o resto.
5. Sou divertida e bem-disposta para os preferidos; calada e tímida para todos os outros.
6. Gostava de escrever uma peça de teatro e acho que já estive mais longe disso.
7. Odeio ir ao supermercado ao ponto de preferir não ter em casa as coisas que quero.
8. Passeio o Freud três vezes por dia e sou imensamente feliz nesses momentos a dois.
9. Noto que ao longo do último ano me tenho desenvolvido muito espiritualmente. Não porque tenha procurado mas porque aconteceu assim.
10. Gosto de dormir sozinha.
Passo a corrente para quem quiser. Sabe bem ler as coisas que escrevemos passado algum tempo.

Spider jewels - one of those misty mornings where all seems glum but everything is sparkling if you look a little harder...
Rhys had a lovely day today - he had his first school swimming lesson which he loved - they made tidal waves and put his chin and mouth in the water.
Then he got onto the gold medal for his joined up handwriting, over the gold medal for good number work with coins (apparently his maths just "overflowed") and then he got 2 house points for tucking in chairs nicely when everyone else forgot.
Big things for a little boy - so obviously he was exhausted and had a little melt down before bedtime over dropping his stripy cheese in his soup.
"Escape" for the January Scavenger Hunt - because there's no escape for any beasties caught in this web!
