Yesterday, I got my first Christmas hamper for this year:
or rather; basket

Or rather; a basket, times three. Yet again full of goodies to last the average family of four a day or so, but a single bloke like me has a year's worth. ;)
It also had a gourmet dish for four, containing chicken, beef and pork to have on Christmas Day, but I cooked it all in one go and shared it with my board game friends yesterday evening.

I'm expecting another Christmas gift (hopefully arriving tomorrow, if the UPS-guy is in a good mood and leaves it with the neighbours), and if the hints are anything to go by, I'm going to have to buy myself a wireless accesspoint to make it work. :o

Cheers, K.

The neighbourhood I live in has an ample amount of cats. Not that I mind; I like cats, and most cats seem to like me as well.
However, there is one cat that apparently likes my house, as he/she/it is often sitting in front of my front door, meowing its lungs out.
Tonight was no exception; behold: Nutty Cat®. Behold: Nutty Cat®

The reason I call it Nutty Cat is that Nutty Cat is extremely shy and does not know what it wants. When you open the door (or window, for that matter), instead of looking at coming in, Nutty Cat takes off like being struck by lightning and usually flees underneath the car in front of my house, looking and meowing at me from that safe spot. That's also one of the reasons of the picture's abominable quality; I had to take it with my cell phone, as I didn't have the time to fetch my normal camera, because I'm sure Nutty Cat would flee in an instant.

My cell phone, by the way, takes fine pictures in broad day light, but finds it rather difficult to handle the dark from that distance.

Nutty Cat's owners live a few houses down the street by the way; I've seen them more than once rattling with a box of cat munchies trying to lure Nutty Cat into the house.

Cheers, K.

For all you doctors and doctors-to-be out there; how about this as a gag gift: germs, microbes, bugs and other tiny disasters (except for the red and white blood cells) made into a plushie. Cute, cuddly and in some cases, their real-life originals are seriously deadly. :D

Cheers, K.
