Easter!

Here are some pictures from our Easter weekend so far =) 

Good Friday

On Good Friday, my family don't eat "meat" (as in beef, pork, lamb, poultry, etc.) - but we eat fish. So, for lunch, we had an awesome pumpkin soup (from my grandfather's home-grown pumpkin) and prawn salad.

 Oh, and (of course) some chocolate Easter eggs!

While I went off to enjoy some prawn salad, someone grey, tan, white and cat-shaped stole my comfy chair!!!

She was quite unhappy at first, when I tried to steal it back... But then purred and cuddled into my lap. 

We all relaxed for most of the day, watching the Good Friday Appeal on T.V., and had an awesome fish, rice and greens meal for dinner (lovingly cooked by Kecapmanis). 

Saturday
Our family decided that since we had been dieting since Christmas, we would give each other our Easter presents a day early... Here is a picture of our family's stash!

 And, my personal stash =D

 

Hehe! That's right - you are NEVER too old for a Humpty Dumpty egg!

In the afternoon, we took Franklin and Shelley outside for a play... and an Easter egg hunt!

They had fun sniffing and walking over the eggs, but got bored of them pretty quickly! So cute!!! (The poor green Easter egg got squashed!)

For lunch, we had a barbecue in the sunshine! This was my sandwich...

And this is my baby Moke, eating her barbecued chop... she's not spoiled at all!

 I love the way she holds it with her little paw, and has a bath in the sunshine after she's finished...

After lunch (and a snooze), I feasted on some of my Easter presents!

And then, after dinner, we had this for dessert... Hehe!

Yes, it is a chocolate mousse cake covered in Easter eggs, and made by the lovely Kecapmanis =D

I hope everyone is having as awesome a weekend as we are having! Happy Easter, to those who celebrate it!

Pictures and Things from the Last Week =)

So, this is another picture-filled blog post! This time, I am sharing pictures from the last week. I hope you enjoy them!

The Elephant Teapot

For anyone who doesn't know, I collect trinkets (miniature figurines, statuettes, and various pretty/shiny/decorative/awesome items). Elephants make up a large part of my collection, because they are really cute, exotic, and there is such variety and creativity in the way that they are portrayed! 

Last weekend, my dad went to a garage sale where they were selling tea pots. He saw this, and got it for me!!!

It is so cute! I love it (and I love my dad)! The elephant teapot is made from very light porcelain, and the glaze is very shiny! The little handle on the lid is a monkey sitting on the elephant's back. Unfortunately, I am a slightly dodgy photo taker, and the monkey is facing the wrong way in the picture! 

My Furry-PurryAngel, Moke
As I am chronically ill, I spend a lot of time lying in bed, or sleeping in bed. My beautiful little cat, Moke, love this - especially when it is cold and she wants a warm cuddle!

Although, she doesn't mind if I get up and leave her in bed in peace and quiet...

 I love my cat! 

Fibroduck
We went out to the local pub to lunch, and (of course) Fibroduck joined us!

Fibroduck likes raspberry lemonade, just like me! He had a little trouble reaching the straw at first, but luckily, he soon found a handy salt shaker to sit on so that he could reach =D

Severums
Lastly, our severums (Chomp and Shorty) have started a family in our fish tank! (I have posted video of them when they were freshly hatched, and when they were slightly bigger over the last few days on Twitter and Facebook). The babies hatched around six days ago, and have just started free-swimming! The most recent video can be viewed here =)

What did you do today?

Franklin, Shelley and Friends!

This afternoon, Ellenya, Shelley, Franklin, Moke and Fibroduck went for a play outside =) 

 We were watched by a suspicious magpie...

And Shelley and Franklin had fun in the sunshine =)

Goodbye to Crimson!

March 31st was the final day of Puzzle Pirates' Crimson Ocean, before the server was retired. I was very sad to see the server finally close, although with the extremely low number of pirates online at any given time, I understand why it had to be done. 

I spent much of the day on the Crimson Ocean on its last day. I went on one last pillage, with an extremely awesome and very nice group of pirates, whom I hope to catch up with on other oceans in the future! We even fought a Brigand King... but he haxed, and stole our blue paint :P. We won a bucket of kraken's blood, and slurped it - in honour of our beloved Crimson. 

I feel extremely sorry for the one member of our crew who is too young to play on the other oceans yet :(. I am extremely grateful that I can play on all oceans. Although, I was very sad to lose my persimmon cat, Pepper (I get very attached to pets - even pixelated ones!), and I am very grateful for the pirates who helped me to gather enough PoE in the final hour of Crimson so that I could get one last portrait with her!

In the final hour of our beloved Crimson, we gathered together in the Sakejima inn. We played in tournaments, and took screenshots of ourselves (wearing the royal blue-coloured clothes that we had been "saving" for a special occasion). 

We were even lucky enough to have a visit from some of the lovely Ocean Masters, who... well... changed us into rotting undead zombies! 

I will miss Crimson. I am glad we got to give her a nice little send off :)
