The Ginger Boys and I hope you will all know love on Valentine's Day. I'm hoping for cuddles from the boys. I believe today is a day to celebrate love and not just romance.

The boys have some Valentine's greetings for you.

With grateful thanks to smokie_mouw and mysterious_jedi for the beautiful graphics.

Mostly of the boys who had an outing on one nice day. Our weather is mercifully back to normal.

I've been trying to upload photos to Flickr today but they keep timing out. To be going on with here are a few of Filipos Apollo hosted here on LJ.



Doesn't Filipos look mature now?

He still makes me laugh.



Here he is proudly showing off a rosette he won when dressed in his Santa outfit.

Reuben is here to challenge you with something different, an operatic challenge. He is weary of thinking of lists of words.

Watch and/or listen to the clip below



and write either a story based either on the words, such as Aragorn joyfully returning to Rivendell on whatever the music makes you feel, happy, excited, bored or whatever comes into your mind. Stories can be any length and original or fanworks.

Then post on your blog or favourite archive with the banner and a link to this post.

If people like this, I might do another for Valentine's Day.

Here are the lyrics to the aria under a cut in case you wish to be inspired purely by the music.

For those of you new here, here is Filipos story.
There are links within the article to the other parts of it.

Harry - sweet and sensitive, my feline soulmate. He gives lovesly massages andhead rubs and taps on the food box when hungry. He has thick velvety fur and huge golden eyes and long whiskers.


Reuben Redfur - clever and full of mischief, his greatest delight in life is knocking cups over!He is the only one who prefers dry food. He was brought up in a bathroom on dry food and loves jumping in the sink. Thomas Leo, his half brother has the same background but likes neither. His fur is rather coarse but he has amazing amber eyes.



Harry and Thomas Leo- These two shy introverts get on well. Thomas Leo loves to climb through and is very interested in the computer like old Leo. Also like old Leo, his coat is still as soft as a kitten's.



Filipos Apollo - the most affectionate of the boys who cannot get enough cuddles. He is still learning there is enough food to go round. He has very silky fur and the green eyes typical of Syros cats.

It snowed today and I let the boys out for a few minutes.

Thomas Leo and Filipos experienced snow for the first time. They seemed rather puzzled by it.

I received my awards for Missy, Chance and Terence's Online Show today and was baffled to find a trophy in the package. I contacted the organiser and was told Harry was 3rd in the Trophy class! There were around 80 entries. I completely missed that result for some reason despite being tagged and following the contest page.

Winter sky- view from my window. I have the best view in the street.


Feeding the five thousand or rather the four!

Thomas Leo loves to be up high.
