Tuesday..

Me and Robin decided to break away from our computer screens and go for a walk! It's a lovely spring day; sunny, warm, no clouds.. hell, not even the chavs were out.. we couldn't miss this opportunity for a nice stroll :)


 We thought it would be nice to have a further look around our new estate of Grove farm! Yes, John.. you heard correct, we walked around Grove farm.. and we're still alive, so stop whining about the place! It was quite peaceful actually. We managed to get a better feel of the surroundings, and look at the shittier parts, and the not-so-shittier parts. The houses along the front on the main road look shit. I hate how the tiles from the roof come right down and over the top bedroom windows, and the bottom part is just some crappy white plastic panels. It makes them look tacky, and Robin got it in a nutshell - they look like 'temporary' houses. Something that you'd shove a young chav with a baby in until they got their high end 15 bedroom new estate house for free.
 I really don't like them :P But then again, across the road from them, we're the exact same style houses, yet somehow they looked nicer. They we're neater, cleaner, flowers we're outside in the garden, and it looked like the people living in them took pride in keeping them looking top notch. Why can't the rest do that? It doesn't take much to keep the outside looking good. Hell, just picking the weeds out makes a huge difference. And if everyone kept their houses looking neat and tidy, maybe Grove farm wouldn't have such a shitty reputation. Maybe get themselves a bit more pride...


 Anyway. As we ventured around the estate, it changed from the shitty dirty plastic houses, to a brand new estate (well, maybe a couple of years old, but they were new houses). I really like how all the newer style houses are being built. They look so modern, but not too retro.. the gardens are already in place, the driveways are neat and tidy, and the general area just looks so 'neighbourly'. You wouldn't have thought you were walking in Grove farm :P


 We come walking back around to our area again, and I was quite happy with what I saw :) A few twats on peds went by, but in general Grove farm doesn't look as bad as what I've been told.


 Keith update!


 Yesterday when Mum and Dad came over for dinner, Keith got up from Mums lap and started limping a bit. I just figured he was tired. Later on he carried on limping and whining! So we gave him lots of fuss, but he still wasn't content. However, the little shit only seemed to limp whenever we looked at him.. When he thought we weren't looking, he'd dart from room to room, climb up on the bed, leap from the desk to the floor and all sorts.. he's a little attention whore! He's fine today of course ^^


 Oh, and he likes to look at WoW!

A true little gamer :D

Hello, Keith!

We've finally welcomed him into our home :D


 We got him on Saturday morning. I woke up early enough to make sure I was the first in the shop! Whilst Martin was upstairs collecting Keith, I ventured up the back of the shop where the animals are just to see if he had any kittens in. I don't know why I wanted to look.. I still have it in the back of my mind that we should have got the two. I also still feel like I want to get two.. but I just can't come to a decision. Though I should make it soon, as Keith is growing!
 Anyway, this part of the shop was still in darkness, and before I had the chance to see if there was any little angels in a cage, I was distracted by a "Hallo!"
 Wtf? I turn around to see a parrot in a cage repeating "Hallo!" at me.. lols! :D


 Martin comes back down and I see him carrying this beautiful little ginger ball of fur, meowing away.. so freaking cute!


 Before we went to Sweden, I'd bought the kitten starter kit from the shop, and the stuff all came in a cardboard kitten carrier which I was going to pick Keith up in, but I thought it may be a tad tacky to pick him up for the first time in a cardboard box! So I bought a white one with pink detail and a pink cage just to make him look a little camp :)


 It was the best moment ever bringing Keith home! Meowing all the way back in the car, and watching him venture around the flat for the first time being all curious and what not :D


 He's already litter trained it seems.. well, he already looked litter trained when he was in the cage with Stanley! Which was a plus :) And we already had lots of kitten pouches and biscuits ready for his first meal at home :D


 We bought him some toys, such as little balls with bells in, a Shrimp with catnip in, a fishing rod thingy and a scratch post.. although the brilliant simplicity with cats is that they'll play with anything.. even a scrunched up ball of scrap paper ^^


 So meet Keith! Hes an awesome 12 week old, tiggy striped ginger, blue eyed boy, and he'll be off to his first vet visit in a few days :D Muahahahaha!

He's one big ball of awesomeness! Except from when he's hyperactive at 4:00am and trying to maul my hand because he wants to play!

...But do I go and look for another one? :O
