On the bike!

My biggest wish, dream, desire, or goal throughout the 18 years of illnes has been to get back on a bicycle.

Well. I did!

Ok, it is a tricycle.

I was a passenger, and did not have to peddle.

I did not have to do any steering.

But...

I did feel the wind in my face. The kind of experience which can not be replicated on a mobility scooter.

It was sooooo much fun, to go out with my brother Kees, and later with niece Linda (top speed 26km-assisted by power battery), to have nephew Marco jump on the back and come along for the ride.

Thank you Marco for hiring the duo-bike. 

Everyone! had a blast with it. Kids, adults, and grannies alike.

Cats

Why would you NOT love them

As you (might) know Sally Cat  came to live with me at the end of February.
Or... in more correct terms, She moved into my house, garden, greenhouse, studio, and I am allowed to be there too.

She is one determent little lady.
Princess.
Knows what she likes, and does not like.
And does not like to be corrected or be told otherwise.

Fun!
Really, she is funny.

Every night I wake up between 3 and 4 with a Cat On My Head.

Truly.

I will try to 'paint to picture' of us at 4 am this morning.

I lie with my head on the pillow, right cheek cozy in my pillow. Sally had her front paws under my forehead. No idea how she wiggled her little paws in between my head and the pillow. Her chin completely covering my forehead. Her head on my head.
Happy out.
At least Sally was happy out.

The unfortunate thing is that she 'drools' when excessively happy...
Get the picture...?

Here some other Cat pictures that tell 'a thousand words'

Sally Relaxing in my greenhouse.
Salad? who needs salad?

Mine- all mine

Yes, I am in your studio
And yes, I am on your work.
SO?

Bed.
MY bed.
Thank you very much

Ok. You don't want me to be on your bed
So I use your chair.
I like comfort...

Some other cats who tell their stories...

My good old Robert
I had to have a picture taken for a news paper article.
Robert obviously wanted to be in there too.
And decided to have a 'poo'...

Robert.
Hungry
My 85 year old neighbour is still not impressed with Sally.
She still misses her neighbour Robert.
And why wouldn't you.

This is Momma.
On a bad mood day...

...reminding Mariela for weeks,
and weeks,
that she had stood on her paw...
