What Kelly does to frisbees

This cute little girl is apparently being starved, because this is what she does to frisbees:

And all of the plastic from that frisbee has taken the day-long trip to the ground via Kelly’s innards.

And then she strikes again!

An overdue announcement, AKA Winston

nikgregory — Sun, 16 Oct 2011 13:56:50 +0000

Our new arrival is the quiet and collected Winston, a true old gentlemen. The only problem being he’s 3 years old and is acting more like 13, but that’s what happens when you live your life with an old lady.

He’s been with us only a few short weeks and settled in very nicely, in fact so nicely that he seems to be keeping Kelly out of mischief, which is an endearing quality all of its own.

It’s certainly nice having the additional company in the house. Kelly having a playmate means there’s less of her demanding to play with us, which with her generally means jumping up and pawing your leg. That means first thing in the morning you’re generally getting nails dragged on your bare skin, but now she just antagonises Winston.

Henry “The Genius” Hedgehog

I knew my hedgehog was a lot on the weird side for how animals go, but this morning I caught him being unusually smart rather than being usually stupid.

He’s overturned his food bowl and positioned it to make it easier to get to his water bottle. It’s not that he had difficulty, I guess he just got fed up with reaching a little. Although this looks 10x more awkward, so I don’t see the improvement – but then again I’m not a hedgehog.

Twilight September 16, 2010

This is the morning Twilight. Sunrise is getting a little too late to grab in the morning, but I’m still trying for them.

On a Kelly-side-note, she was just spazzing out playing with one of her balls, throwing it for herself and chasing it like a lunatic the entire time the SD card was in the netbook and not the camera. As soon as I got it back into the camera, of course she immediately stopped. Yet another bizarre video foiled by her cunning smarts.

Sunrise Aug 26th

Twilight was beautiful this morning; sunrise not as much. There’s usually a good photo somewhere though.

Another Sunrise Friday

nikgregory — Fri, 20 Aug 2010 10:54:00 +0000

Not sure why every friday is producing beautiful sunrises, even the twilight this morning was beautiful, perhaps in a few weeks I’ll be able to get shots of that getting up. It was a little too early this morning for me to grab my camera.

Close up follows:

Hopefully a good friday follows.

Sunrise on the 16th

Barely caught the sunrise this morning, I got this by seeing the orange light on the wall and I jumped out onto the balcony to get a snapshot.

Kelly Photo

Our little girl Kelly spent her first night without any incident, we think she has a little separation anxiety but not a lot. Here’s a photo of our little girl;

Sunrise on the 14th

nikgregory — Sat, 14 Aug 2010 10:55:45 +0000

Woke up and couldn’t get back to sleep, which sucks as I went to bed late. I guess my body is getting me up for work whether I have work or not. Anyway, at least I got a couple of pretty sunrise photographs out of it.

This is actually about 20 minutes after true sunrise, but there’s that pesky low-lying cloud again. It did make for a couple of nice photos though;

A lot of nice golden colours this morning, well worth the sleep deficit being up early will cause.

Sunrise on Friday 13th

nikgregory — Fri, 13 Aug 2010 22:38:55 +0000

Managed to get a couple of sunrise photos this morning, despite the cloud trying to foil me again. It’s been a bad week for sunrises, but Friday prevailed again.

This is the actual sunrise, like I said the cloud has been bad. There was a strange kind of anti-spectrum hanging at the bottom of the cloud here.

This is when the sun finally broke the low-level cloud that foiled me on the actual sunrise;

I guess it’s a lucky 13, because I have been trying every morning to steal a sunrise photo, but on the unluckiest day of the year (the only Friday the 13th this year) I manage to snag one. Go figure.
