Fudge's Luscious Leafy Selfie on The Sunday Selfies & Caturday Art Blog Hops

Epic greetings supurr furiends

Welcome to another selfie selection and today our theme is:

Fudge's Luscious Leafy Selfie 

Fudge loves getting up the tree, and spying on the burdies, although he did tell us that the peanut butter needed changing as they were empty. TSK... TSK... P.A. for not paying attention, although she did say in her defence that she'd stopped feeding them the peanut butter and they were having fat balls instead alongside their regular seed.

We have noticed that more and more burds are coming into the garden lately, but we suppose that's because some peeps stop feeding them in the Spring, we put seed out all year round, though much less in the summer months.

We're also joining in the lovely Athena's Art Hop so do stop by and show off your pawesome arty-farty skills.

Fudge is the purrfect Cheshire cat!

The effect was created with Befunky -  cyanotype #6 + Underpainting DLX + changes to contrast, shadows and vibrance.

We also turned this fab arty-farty picture into a puzzle, so do stop by the puzzle page and take the Puzzle Challenge, see if mew can beat our time of 18 mins 21 secs, which won't be hard, as we did take a brief nap in between placing puzzle pieces! MOL 

Anyhoo it's time for us to go and check on what the P.A. is cooking for Sunday lunch today, we do hope it's a yummy roast chicken... mmmmmmm delicious!  So we do hope mew have a totally terrific day and we'll be back tomorrow with another gorgeous mandala for mew to colour and the latest crystal of the week.

And just before we pop off, don't furget that Smooch's birthday pawty and giveaway is still happening in the bunker, so feel free to come pawty with us.

Wishing mew lots of snoozy snuggles

Book Reviews with Amber at The Mewton-Clawson Library featuring **The Adventures of Alice in Wonderland and Through the Looking Glass** by Lewis Carroll PLUS Friendly Fill-Ins

Hello gorgeous library guests 

and 

Welcome to the Mewton-Clawson Library at BBHQ 

Thank mew for joining me in the stacks today; it's absolutely freezing, and Jack Frost has been to Mewton-Clawson overnight in a big way, even the library mice are refusing to wurk as it's too cold.

So today I thought I share a lovely throwback of yours-epically-truly from 2015; evidently, I was deliriously happy on this gorgeous, warm day in April when I was sampling a fresh flux of new catmint! 

Don't I look happy?

MOL MOL MOL

OMC I really crack myself up at times, my happiness and joy knows no bounds, in fact I think I should be the poster cat for both, I could spread the wurd far and wide!

I'm going to start using #Amberthereallyhappycat on my social media.

Today the P.A. is also joining in Friday Fill-ins Blog Hop with the pawesome 15 & Meowing and Four-Legged Furballs.

1. I hope _________ never changes.

2. The luckiest I have ever been was _________.

3. I never thought I would _________, but I did.

4. I'm waiting for _________.

The P.A.'s answers are...

1. I hope some peoples kindness never changes.

2. The luckiest I have ever been was when I fell through the ceiling and landed on the kitchen table flat on my back because I narrowly missed: a. breaking my neck on the back of the chair.  b. I just missed landing on a big chunk of pointed lead crystal with my middle back, and finally c. only just missing the 5 arm wrought iron candelabra with my lower back - I was super lucky that day. And I mean SUPER LUCKY!

3. I never thought I would go clay/skeet shooting again, but I did.

4. I'm waiting for the covid-19 vaccine rollout to garner speed to help return us to normal as quickly as possible.

Let's see what I've got to show mew this time!

This week's top book pick is...

Mewton-Clawson Library Copy

The Adventures of Alice in Wonderland and Through the Looking Glass

by

Lewis Carroll

Here's a little snippet of the book blurb:      

Follow curious Alice as she ventures down a rabbit hole and into Wonderland, filled with unforgettable characters such as the March Hare, the Mad Hatter, the Cheshire Cat and the Queen of Hearts. Then enter a topsy-turvy universe the other side of the Looking Glass, where Alice encounters old and new friends, like Humpty Dumpty and Tweedledum and Tweedledee.

OMC look what the P.A. got me for Catmas, I was delighted to get my mittens on this ultimate classic novel.

I really love these epically epic tales, but I guess that mew guys have purrobably read them already, though I will say this; the Cheshire Cat is the coolest cat ever to star in a book, other than Basil of course! MOL

I heartily recommend this book to everyone, and what a purrfect gift it would make for all ages, and if by chance mew haven't read it, do as mew're really missing out. Plus, the books are way better than any movies that have ever been made, as no movie can ever truly capture these stories' essence or magic.

They really are two of the best stories ever, and in this edition mew get both stories for the price of one.

Totally top paw!

• Publisher: Arcturus - July 2018
• Paperback: 272 pages

My Ratings Scale

Ratings of:

The Adventures of Alice in Wonderland and Through the Looking Glass

Overall Enjoyment

I really hope mew enjoy the book as much as I did if mew decide to read it.

It's time fur me to say BFN or bye-fur-now as mew know the drill, so many books, so little time and I'll be back next week with another specially paw-picked book just for mew, and don't furget that all my previous reviews can be found on my Book Review page.

Until next time...

Keep calm and read more books
