Gearing up

For Caturday... Since then it's time for Lillof and Maddox to move in. They're 12 weeks some time this week. No one really knows since Lillof and his siblings was found in the engine space of a tractor and Maddox sat all alone, a couple of weeks old and blind (with an eye infection) on the hard shoulder of the freeway. Just lucky he was spotted, picked up and handed in to the Cat Shelter. But yes, now they're well and full of energy. The responsible at the Cat Shelter PROMISED us they've both grown up to real gamines. So, most likely the weekend that passed was the last in a few years we could sleep until waking up, have a lazy morning and so on...

So, we took the chance to go shopping this weekend, some sand for the litterbox, food and a lot of toys.

But it will be so much fun to get them home! Need some life in the Void Mansion! Let's see if we say the same thing in a few weeks! :O)

The Cat Shelter (Höörs Hemlösa Katter) posted a picture of Maddox in one of their entries. It was a few weeks when we were there to meet him for the first time and in this short time he seems to have grown quite a lot. But it seems like they've gotten even more kittens in this year than normal. Tiny abandoned little creatures... It's a shame that so many cats suffer these days. 

But he sure is adorable Maddox! If they will keep their Cat Shelter names we need to see! Guess the coming weekend will show a bit of their personality and then it will be easier to name them! (Else Tipton and Byford are strong candidates)

But this past weekend, as well as the one before has been spent cleaning, fixing and kitty-proofing the house. Removing anything that can be flipped over and broken when hitting the floor and trying to lock the space on top of the vinyl-shelf. 

Of course, get the records sorted out was one mission too! It's hard work I tell you. I start to get the hang of how to do the re-shuffling the vinyls now but it still takes time and brought on a huge muscle pain. I've been very stiff today. Legs, arms, shoulders... But it turned out great in the end and we can probably fit about a year more of vinyl purchases into it before it's packed!

Of course, checking my mail Sunday evening I was notified that TPL has sent another rather huge package. I requested it since I wanted to clean out as much as possible from my want list before it's time for the Slayer "Repentless" 7 pound Eagle box.

So, anyday now I'll get the Solstice "Blood Fire Doom" vinyl box, deluxe box of Tribulation's "The Children of the Night", a bunch of Flotsam & Jetsam vinyls and some more stuff. So now I need to figure out a smart and cat proof way to store new vinyls without having them to scratched and clawed. Especially since I'm out of plastic covers... Need to get another 100-pack to be safe I suppose! Then I won't run out in a couple of months at least.

And now everything is kind of back to normal at work which mean a trip to Kista this week and the first real meeting with my new manager. It's all a bit nervous of course but I'm looking forward to it also. 

And on Wednesday it's concert time. Snowy Shaw at Trägårn, Gothenburg.

And then Friday, it's the 2 Heavy 4 You warm-up show. I was really looking forward to see 220 Volt again but that didn't happen. Then Axewitch was announced which was really nice as well. But that didn't happen either so now Alien, the Swedish 80's band that had a few hits, which feels like a quite odd booking with consideration to the rest of the billing, but what do I know, it might work. And it's gonna be fun to see Peter playing with Stonegriff also!

 


So, it sure will be a busy week and presumably not much sleep during the weekend if the cats are as playful as they say!

Cheers
