Jon's Go Pinis

Last Saturday (13 February) we celebrated Jon’s Go Pinis at my place. While I am still living in this mansion, we thought we might just take benefit from this spacious place.
Jon’s mom arrived two weeks ago, just to visit her ‘hijo’ and waiting for him to pack and join her for two more weeks in Australia before heading home to Spain. Well, to Stockholm in Jon’s case.
Dutch party at Hole in the Wall

It was a great opportunity to brush up my Spanish, because I didn’t speak that in ages. Even though we have some Spanish people here around, we always tend to speak English with each other. "Spak meris"

"Salchicha meris"
But Gloria, Jon’s mom, was great fun! She was almost in for anything and she had a good time with us youngster and with the Golden Girls (as Jon likes to call Monica, Linda and Margit).
All together I belief we had more than 6 go pinis events for Jon. One evening a dinner at Haydn’s place, another one at Margit, a day trip to Hole in the Wall, a Go Pinis at my place…: I’ve lost count!
'Iran, Brioni and Brenda'
Jonnie and Eddy
Some sweet stuff!
Anyway, this was one of the best parties we had in this place! Maybe also because we had some party crashers who brought gin and Jagermeister…

We're definitely breaking it down!

Some more sweet stuff!

Scary girls!

Arantxa: Brenda and jai are rrreeally joing to miss jou!

Baby Boom

This week (on the 3rd of February to be precise), our teenage-pregnant-pussycat gave birth to four kittens!
You could tell Dolly was confused with it all, but she got her act together and now she turned out to be a great Mum! On Thursday when I came home after work, the hausmeri informed me that Dolly had taken all of the kittens to my bedroom. Apparently that place was more to her liking than the box in the living room.

Unfortunately one little kitten died. She was my favourite, but I already expected this would happen. On Friday night when I got home, the tiny one was left aside in the box and did not make any effort to get some susu. I tried to get her on one of Dolly's susu, but nogat. Next morning she was cold and stiff....ants already crawling over her.

But the other three are in perfect health! I am very busy with finding them a home, but it's not easy. And I also need to find someone who is willing to adopt Dolly... Anyone interested??

Here are some pictures of Dolly's offspring!

The first two just arrived

Someone seems to enjoy it!


Proud mum!
