I've been going through old family photos in a recent trek down Nostalgia Lane. So for #Caturday I introduce the first two cats I remember. That's me apparently on my 4th birthday with Sam (gray tabby) and Kiley (ginger tabby).
No idea why I look a bit glum. A friend who saw this suggests maybe I was tired of getting my picture taken that day. I definitely look over something.
Just because I've been going through some childhood photos today, a #FlashBackFriday - the date is on the picture so no hiding that. LOL
Me aged 5 wearing my Dad's army boots touching a basketball. Yeh, I don't know what's happening here either. I do remember playing in his boots though. He had not been in the army for more than a decade when this was taken, no idea why he held onto them or where they are now.
It must have been Christmas '78 based on family events I remember going on about that time. What I remember most is that the adults in the family were probably more crazy than me or my cousins. At my grandmother's house a few days after Christmas my Dad and his siblings ran the batteries down in the evening and someone went out in the dark to find new batteries. I think they went through more than one set that night. LOL
Something I may have alluded to already is that I'm a big fan of the works of Sir Terry Pratchett. Which is why, shortly after his passing, I started putting together a website devoted to him.
It started off with a short piece I wrote about what it meant to me when he died, and a couple of bits of fan-fiction I'd written myself, plus some links to various websites and social media relating to the great man; but has turned into a large collection of stories, memories and thoughts collected from people right across RoundWorld.
I've also attempted to gather alternate book covers for all the books, publishing history, and a few other amuse-bouche of various sorts.
If you are a fan, check it out and let me know what you think, or if you'd like to write something to go on it yourself - you'd be most welcome!!!
Disclaimer, or possibly the opposite - it's all done in my own time and benefits me in no way whatsoever. I do it because I miss his wit and wisdom and want to share his legacy.
