Friends on Friday

#1 here. I returned to Poupounette Central early afternoon yesterday, so I was only gone for about 24 hours. It was a quick trip to see a couple of horses whose sale I have arranged and who will be leaving for the UK tomorrow. Lancelot is on the left and Javelou on the right.

I stayed overnight with my friend Ms. D whose family includes Ollie's friend, FloFlo, as well as four gorgeous kitties, Marnie, Mungo, Dando and Rui. So, I wanted to share photos of them all here.

Here is FloFlo (aka Flora):

Beautiful Marnie is a gorgeous tortie who is still going strong at over 20 years of age!

In this next photo, you can see FloFlo behind Marnie, and little Dando on the right.

Dando is a little shy but Rui is very shy so this is the only shot I managed to get of him:

As for Mungo, he is clearly one of Benny's distant cousins!

Tama-Chan Tuesday - The Rainbow Queen

Rainbow Queen Tama: Greetings, Dear Friends. It's been four weeks since my last autobiographical post. We have all been busy with this and that. Over here at the Bridge, there was much joy as our good friends, Eric and Flynn, welcomed their beloved Jackie. It was such a beautiful moment, we were all in tears! Sad as the departures are for those who are left behind, being reunited with those you have missed so much is also a gift.

So... we have reached 2023. It was the year I celebrated my 15th birthday. I was slowing down but still in pretty good health and able to enjoy life to the full. Nothing bad happened and in late July, we went back to our four kitty total with the arrival of the little dragon, Ryū-Chan.

January 2023: One thing you will notice is that there are more and more snuggle pics with #1. Plus, I was still pretty active in dangling

February 2023:

March 2023: As winter drew to an end, I looked for sunpuddles and snuggles.

April 2023: Spring brought with it dangling, more sunpuddles, and helping #1 at her computer. That sweet boy Momo was often good company too.

May 2023: #1 played Scrabble a lot that year, and I was always there to advise!

June 2023: Early summer brought dangles and window whiffies. #1 always said that my eyes were like emeralds!

July 2023: Easy times with #1 and the two boys...

...and then, at the end of the month this happened!

August 2023: So, there was once more another Aby in the house, and a very turbulent one at that, except for the rare occasions when he slept. I tried to teach him some manners, but met with little success. This was also the month when I celebrated my 15th birthday.
