*cough cough* thats better,

Today I am happy to report that after a course of supportive pyscological councilling, Kismet the grumpy cat looks like this………..

Kheery Kismet

He still is on very strong anti-drepressants due to intervention by the field mice out back, they had noticed him hanging around known places of Ill Cat repute..

WEATHER UPDATE

This is especially for those who missed the Scottish summer, it was last week. This week its back to normal…..

The Sky At Noon

 

SUZANNE UPDATE

After plenty of intense therapy suzy also looks like…

Kheery Kismet

hehehe, actually she is feeling the hard days work I put her through. This morning was a run around various shops to get little bits and pieces for stuff. I think i’ve been too specific, if you know what Im talking about stay behind after class, I need to erase this top secret information from you memories… infact Lorna, Christine just stay behind anyway, you’re both bound to end up in detention..

She spent the whole afternoon moaning at me from her bed, recovering from the hectic morning but overall she is doing great today and the pain is less severe and frequent and this leads me nicely on toooooo……………… thursday nights sneeky peek.

TODAYS PRINTS

They call me the print butcher…..I have been chopping prints all day….. ready to ship for you guys, you really have kept me out of misscheif, not enough for me to do a sensible blog, but I didnt get in the way of Suzanne completing a picture.. here is the pile of prints I worked through..

DO you have what it takes to get the 25th or 50th or 75th or 100th or 125th post?? Ok well to help you tonights theme is *drum roll*

“FAVOURITE Ice Cream Flavour and WHY?”

Suzanne when she was little..so lets say Suzette, Suzette wanted Ice Cream, and Mummy Suzette had bought a lovely tub of Mint Choc Chip. Brother and Sister Suzette eyed the Ice cream jealously and conspired to ensure their maximum share…I know said sister Suzette, I shall tell her the secret ingrediant …*laughs evilly*. And verily they dith goeth to-eth Suzette as she lay innocently breathing life into a limp butterfly.. “Suzette, do you know what Mint Choc chip is made of?” they terrible twosome choffed..

“No? What” said the oh so Innocent Suzette, freeing a cat from the clutches of the neighbours lawnmower.

“Well let us tell theee…….”Cackled Sister Suzette “its made of FROGS LEGS……”

“Minced up” added Brother Suzette…

“EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEWWWW” Said The Oh so innocent and pure Suzette as she operated on the recently run over hedgehog.

From that day forward, not an ounce of “Frog Leg Ice cream” has past Suzannes lips…

 

Ok that wasnt exactly a reveal of Suzanne favourite Ice cream, but you can see artistic lisence is not only permitted but actively encouraged!!

 

Happy commenting and Good luck…

  1. oh Suzanne – I am breathless πŸ™‚ She is just stunning. I will be buying this one.
    You all have me laughing so hard at your blog – priceless !!!!

  2. Love the new painting, Suzanne!! I love the dandelions and that precious hat!

  3. I was so entranced with the new girl I forgot the ice cream πŸ™‚ I love REALLY really good vanilla ice cream with hot fudge and warm caramel on top ……drizzling down the sides and crushed cashews on top ….yumo

  4. WOWWWWWWWWW Another beauty suzanne … so lovely

    big hugs

    going to bed now …

    And ermmm grant i hope you had something on under that raincoat LOL

    Night guys

  5. I was trying not to focus too much on that Lorna …lol …

  6. Wow, Grand flashed us, did you see that? lol.

    That painting is amazing and may have to be purchased to join the other three that I own (although I’m ashamed that only one of the three I currently own is framed… still looking for the “right” frame…) I definitely *love* that one.

    I am also impressed at the massive amount of posting going on get those others into the finals, very interesting to watch. πŸ™‚ (Not that I encourage it, we all really want that painting now don’t we?)

    As for the frog legs story that’s totally something my dad would have done as a kid. My favorite is probably something with vanilla and caramel swirled in it and nuts… mmm… heath bars crumbled on top… oh boy, off to find ice cream!

  7. I hope Grant and Suzanne are having as much fun with the posting as we are! I think I’ve found a new favorite hobby. : )

    Favorite ice cream? Hmm, so many to choose from. My first choice will be Maggie Moo’s sweet cream. YUM.

  8. I’m a plain vanilla kind of person. . .boring, right? But last night I felt adventurous so I tried something new “Vanilla Honey”. (Hey, it was free so I HAD TO.) It was okay, but nothing can beat a really creamy, rich plain vanilla.

    Some additional items of note:

    1) Glad to see the cat has received some therapy and relief for said depression. He definitely appears to be in a better mood, not yet jovial but perhaps less annoyed.

    2) Grant, please let Suzanne rest up- -she needs to recuperate!

    3) I love the new beauty and very much enjoyed the sneaky peeky and theme song. (I actually did LOL, which I rarely do.)

    4) Grant, you are a very talented and amusing blogger. You and the uber-talented Suzanne should write and illustrate a book together. That would be so AMAZING! (I’m thinking something along the lines of Sendak’s “Where the Wild Things Are” or whatever it’s called. . .)

    Sorry for the super long post!

  9. oh my …a book would be the bomb …..can you imagine ? bright pages of Suzanne’s beautiful work and the added attraction of Grant’s imagination and humor ….lol …… maybe not all of his humor….. I too am glad the kitty is getting the help he needs ….he doesn’t even look like himself…..so the money spent on his therapy must be working.
    Let me have the Ohio rights to sell the book πŸ™‚

  10. Oooooh a book is a marvelous idea!

    Kismet looks like he wants ice cream.

  11. Kismet is a bit of a Garfield……. he loves cheese, and ice cream… steals it so he does. A clatter in the kitchen means hes on the prowl. He is just over 6 years old now and is a right cheeky wee thing..
    Thanks for the comments, I wasn’t sure If you guys would like my sense of humour… I’ll try to keep it checked. πŸ™‚

  12. I just meant some of the humor for a book …lol .. Mr G πŸ™‚ …. I have two nutty grey tabbies in the house who we call “thing one and thing two” at times as in Dr. Suess …they really are lovely tho ….cough …cough … at least they entertain each other and terrorize the pups !

  13. Absolutely lovely painting, first and foremost!

    Now on to the ice cream question. My most favorite flavor is……Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough. I love it because I can eat the dough without having to put all the ingredients together. And who doesn’t like ice cream. So combine them together and you have my favorite ice cream πŸ™‚

  14. Sweet cream is my fav! It is the base for all other flavors. You can savor the creamy richness of the ice cream neither masked nor marred nor camoflaged by any other flavoring: just rich, creamy, smooth ice cream. Best of all it is the perfect complement to all cakes, cookies and any icecream sandwich you want to build with cookies. Yummy. πŸ™‚

  15. Kismet is a beauty!

    My cat’s name is Cujo and he fits his name at times. He’s 19 years old and extraordinarily grumpy…the Walter Mathau of cats.

    His favorite ice cream is melted. : )

  16. I LOVE this new painting, does it have a name? I love the hat AND the dandelions.

    My fave flavor is Coffee Ice Cream! It’s the best. Unless of course I can get a turtle sundae!

  17. Beth – my GSD’s name is Jessica and she is very big. …. about 140 lbs and tall. When the USP guy comes up to the door, he calls her Cujo ..she stands up on the door barking !!! lol She allows no one in and she is my angel.

  18. Wow Robyn! What a great watchdog!

    Sadly my Cujo has never been much of a watchcat…even his cricket-hunting days are over. He’s just old and crabby now.

  19. OMGosh- so many many many possible comments…sigh…all sooo inappropriate but suzanne might misinterpret it for flirting with mr. grant so i will refrain…but those suggestive comments…everyone’s comments for that matter…just INVITE other comments….

    the newest painting is just lovely…and kismet on meds looks much happier….

    ice cream flavours…hmmm….i think maybe jamoca almond fudge from baskin&robbins….evokes memories of being a young teen and busing downtown to the shops on a saturday to wander for the day…then as a mom i would bring my kids to the same shopping centre and bribe them to suffer through my shopping with promises of baskin&robbin ice cream as a treat at the end of the ordeal….
    much less calories and fat
    (having chalked up a few too many jamoca almond fudge sugar cone ice cream as a teen and as a young mom)and equally scrummy is something called Chapman’s brand frozen yoghurt in cappuccino with espresso flake flavour..YUM-E!!

  20. I love the new painting! And I am happy to see the Kismet is looking much more spirited now with the therapy underway!

  21. The new painting is awesome.
    Grant I think the dandelion makes the painting! Quite stunning.

    Chocolate. Just plain simple chocolate. If you are a chocolate lover then you know what I mean. There’s nothing like a nice scoop on a waffle cone. I savor the flavor. My husband is always trying to get me to try other ice cream. But why when I’ve already found the best flavor. Mmmmmm…..creamy, rich chocolate. Oh..ok. I’ll stop now…lol.

  22. Yay me!
    That cat does look grumpy, a bit like my dad!

  23. Grant, stop all this raincoat opening, it’s putting me off my sausage softie!

  24. Cookie dough ice cream does it for me, although if they ever brought out a gin and tonic flavour…..

  25. Ouch a double post MR Grant… if that is your real name!!!! OOH and A Golden set up to boot, shame its not use to you Ian as you just put youself out of the running in this particular thread..

    OOPSIEs… anyway you’re welcome to get a milestone in any other thread…

  26. Mine is raspberry ripple with fresh berries on it.

  27. Well mine has to mint with choc chip πŸ™‚

    Good Morning the Woolcott family

    hugs

    lorna xxx

  28. im now sat here humming the theme for the sneaky peak damn you mr g and damn the broccoli too

    i used to love mint choc chip, whenever we went on holiday to rhyl my dad would always get me a mint choc chip ice cream when we were in the sun centre *oh to be a kiddie again*
    now i just like vanilla, whipped, not the spoon styff, if its not mr whippy its just not right… *wipes drool*

    you ever heard a dog sing to the ice cream mans tune? mine does its well funny.
