Ik ben niet bang van Halloween

(Please click here for the English translation)

Oma, wat ben je aan het doen?

Je bent het huis aan het versieren?

Waarom, oma?

Omdat het Halloween is? Bah, dat klinkt beangstigend…

Oh, dat is het niet?

Oma, ik vind het er wel eng uitzien… behalve dat snoepgoed in die mand…

Binky, het is een soort Oudjaarsavond in de Keltische geschiedenis.

Het is de avond vóór Allerheiligen, maar eigenlijk heeft het te maken met het oogsten van de gewassen… ze waren hier namelijk mee klaar  en hadden eindelijk een dag vrij voordat ze weer opnieuw moesten beginnen met het zaaien van de nieuwe gewassen.

De Kelten geloofden ook dat op 1 November, hun Nieuwjaarsdag, alle geesten op zouden staan om bezit te nemen van alle levende wezens…

Binky… waar ben je??

Ik ben niet bang, hoor, oma…ik wilde alleen maar even kijken, of alles veilig is…

 

HAPPY HALLOWEEN ALLEMAAL 🙂

I’m not afraid of Halloween

Granny, what are you doing?

You’re decorating the house?

Why, Granny?

Because it’s Halloween? That sounds scary…

It’s not?

I don’t know, Granny, but it looks kind of scary to me… except for the treats in that basket…

Binky, it’s a kind of New Years Eve in the Keltic history. The day before All Saints Day. In fact it all has to do with the harvest… they were ready with reaping the harvest and finally could rest for one day, before they had to sow again.

The Keltic people believed that the day after, November the 1st, the beginning of their New Years’ Day, all the ghosts were rising to take possession of every living creature…

Binky… where are you??

I’m not frightenend, Granny… I only want to make sure, there’s nobody upstairs…

HAPPY HALLOWEEN EVERYBODY 🙂

Out of camouflage

(Klik hier voor de Nederlandse versie svp)

What the heck…

Grandpa look at that tree, there’s something terrible wrong with that tree ..

it has red leaves…

just like my nest..

..and it doesn’t fit me anymore …

..while the green nest was fitting…

..is the red nest shrinking… so, that tree and my nest must be sick, don’t you think so, grandpa?

Not sick?

It’s autumn.. o, my, that’s not save for me, everybody can see me now and it’ll be worse? The leaves will finally fall down and there’ll be no nest during two seasons.. two seasons no camouflage for me…

well, what about this…

..or this…

…I don’t see a cat …

..an empty couch…

…a street lamp…

.. and a few stupid sculptures…

Outside during Autumn can be nice for others…

..but for me it is safer inside 😉

Nest in verval

(please click here for the English translation)

Krijg nou wat…

Opa, kijk nou, er is iets heel erg mis met die boom ..

die boom heeft rode bladeren…

net als mijn nest..

..en ik pas er ook niet meer in …

..hier nog wel…

..maar hier niet… Zie je, mijn nest is gekrompen, dus de boom en mijn nest zijn ziek!

Wat? Ze zijn niet ziek, maar omdat het herfst is gaan de bladeren verkleuren en vallen ze uiteindelijk uit, waardoor iedereen mij kan zien…

da’s niet veilig, opa. Hoe moet ik me dan camoufleren?

Ik zou dit kunnen proberen…

..of dit…

..ik zie geen kat, jij?…

..een lege bank…

…een lantaarnpaal…

 en een paar stomme beeldjes…

Herfst kan leuk zijn…

..maar binnen is het veiliger 🙂

Wonderful team member readership award

This blog is nothing about lazy bones, nor baby fat, nor big bellies, but this blog is about two Awards we’ve received last month, and no, I did not swallow them, in case you think they’re in my belly.

Directly after our Addictive blog award we’re nominated again for this award by Cats&Co. Thank you, Dianda, for this Addictive habits Award. …Granny, that’s why my belly is a little furrier, I’m addictive to lazyness ever since …

Princess Zena, of The Princess tails, nominated us for the Wonderful Team Member Readership Award… wow, isn’t this a mouth full…

Zena is a lovely Tibetan terrier with very sweet  ‘button-eyes’. She just lost her pal Zac, but she fights her way trough it. You’re tough, Zena 🙂 I love her stories, she’s funny and she just was involved in a drama, which I have to catch up, because Granny is too busy with other stuff at the moment and I’m not allowed on the lap top on my own.

Next are the rules of the WTMRA:

1. The Nominee of the Wonderful Team member Readership Award shall display the logo on his/her post/page and/or sidebar

ok, ready..

2. The Nominee shall nominate 14 readers they appreciate over a period of 7 days (1 week) – this can be done at any rate during the week. It can be ALL on one day or a few on one day and a few on another day, etc.

Simply charming

Finished 14, but I could go on and on and… Granny, can’t I breake some rules ?…

3. The Nominee shall name his or her Wonderful Team Member Readership Award nominees on a post or on posts during the 7 day (1 week) period.

I guess that means that I have to let this post stay on my our blog for 7 days… I did mention all of them, didn’t I…

4. The Nominee shall make these rules, or amended rules keeping to the spirit of the Wonderful Team Member Readership Award, known to each reader s/he nominates.

Do your best… I guess..

5. The Nominee must finish this sentence and post: ”A Great reader is…”

“A great reader is somebody who can hear the voice of the book.”

Granny, I can’t purr anything….

..maybe when I close my eyes… 😉
