Resolutions
Happy New Year!
Basil and Parsley have declined to come up with their own resolutions, so I have decided to do it for them. Accompanied by a picture of them each trying to get into the festive spirit. We had to do away with the decorations this year, as the boys seemed to think that Christmas trees are for fighting with, rather than looking at.
Basil:
- Stop jabbing mummy in the face at 5 o'clock in the morning just to get attention.
- Stop trying to eat every piece of food I see, regardless of who's dinner it actually is.
Parsley:
- Try to spend slightly less time yelling at the top of my lungs for no particular reason, especially whilst all the humans are still asleep.
- Stop trying to jump bodily into the fridge every single time someone opens the door.
We've had an excellent Christmas. B&P enjoyed their second roadtrip of the year, this time to Oxfordshire. There, they had a wonderful time scampering up and down stairs (a new experience), and aside from an awkward moment where they started stalking a 10-month-old nephew like he was prey, they generally charmed the family. Photos to follow I hope.
In other news, Basil has actually learned to fetch. No, really. A video to follow if we can catch him at it. B&P have an excellent knack of stopping whatever cute/amusing/stupid thing they're doing as soon as I reach for the camera - saboteurs! All I've been able to capture lately is...
Parsley, obviously really impressed with me taking his picture at dinnertime:
Basil, looking (to be honest), a little bit fat:

Ooh haven't you grown!
Not much of an update today, life has been flying by, and Basil and Parsley seem to be growing every day! They're now almost 9 months old, and still up to copious amounts of mischief. Haven't taken many pictures of late, but here's what I have... Highlights include: playing in the new crinkly tunnel, being food pests in the kitchen, finding new and inventive ways to try and get on to the kitchen counter, and more 90s album cover poses...

A Delightful Weekend in the Country
Last weekend, Basil and Parsley took their first ever trip outside of London. In fact, aside from the vets, it's their first trip outside our flat since we brought them home aged a tender 13 weeks. As you can imagine, the car journey was Hell On Earth, but once we arrived, the boys absolutely LOVED it.
We took them to my grandparents house in Norfolk, where they had a whale of a time; racing up and down the hall, chasing spiders, exploring every corner etc... Parsley even managed to climb the ladder into the loft. Could he get himself back down? No, of course not. Highlight of their weekend (or so they tell me), was their first trip outside in the garden. It was very exciting for them. They were a bit nervous at first, but were soon bounding around dragging us behind them. And don't they look smart in their little walking jackets?
Walking jackets from Land O'Burns Bengals - excellent job.

What's for Dinner? Ah.
Howdy folks. Yes, that is Basil and Parsley having a lovely time in our fridge. Our stupid, broken fridge whilst we wait for a part to be ordered from Germany. Boo Hiss etc. Do you think any household appliance has ever malfunctioned and NOT needed a part from another country?! Honestly.
Anyway, it's been inexcusably long since I've posted on here, so here are a few pics to get you up to date. B&P have now been neutered, bless them, and after a couple of grumpy days, they were right as rain. The vets told us it would calm them down as well. Bee. Ess. So they're still mad and boisterous and noisy, and getting bigger all the time, we still love 'em though! Here goes...
Doing their best nineties album cover poses...
Not sure what's going on here. Weirdos.
Until next time!

Panic on the Streets of London
I'm pleased to report that B&P remained calm throughout the IDIOTIC rioting in our area on Monday night. If it's possible to be upset, angry and ashamed all at the same time, then that is me this week. The kittens took it pretty much in their stride, although the cacophony of helicopters, sirens, yelling and smashing glass did not impress them very much. We are SO moving out of London.
Some shots of the yoofs from our balcony (though if I'm honest, none of them were that young, all old enough to know better at least)...
Basil and Parsley say, yeah whatever. Losers.
Enough of that crap. More excitingly... pigeon spotted:
ZOMG:
