Mum's Birthday Selfie With Me

Today is Mum's birthday so we decided to take a selfie together. 

She says thanks to everyone who left a birthday message for her yesterday on our Caturday Art post where we shared the card I created for her. 
Here is my selfie. It's been another hot week so the best thing to do was sleep through most of it.

Remembering Suzy Sunday Selfies

Tuxedo cat on the stairs

Today we are remembering Suzy, Mum's beloved Tuxie cat from the 1980s and 1990s. Mum's late brother Uncle John found her at a pet shop and said he chose her because she was the quietest of her kitty sibblings, who were all running around and meowing a lot. It was fate, obviously, and she became the family cat for 13 years.

Mum quickly and happily grabbed the role of being her cat mummy and took the most care for her.

With the help of BeFunky Old Photo Restorer AI, Mum tried to enhance the photos in this post. Some were so blurry due to the cameras of the time.

AI can look unrealistic at times but we think these pics aren't bad at all. 

Rest In Peace, Suzy xx


Suzy is seen here on a strange-looking radiator in front of this vintage and very loud wallpaper - and just look at that phone!

Looks like Suzy is having a crazy time here.

Cute Furbaby Caturday Art

This heatwave is annoying but at least I look cute lying here on the bed for my Caturday Art. 

Mum keeps moaning that she can't stand all this heat, which we've had for weeks. We are just not used to it in England. We've hardly had any rain either.
