A Post full of Adventures by Moira

Today a post by Moira (Sullivan's cousin from Canada)

Hi, Sullivan and everyone else!
I have been very busy, so that's why I haven't posted for a while. But today I bring you pictures and stories of my adventures on our latest holiday.

This is a picture I spotted during our holiday and that I just had to share with you. It reminds me of family gatherings with all the McPigs. They even look a bit like us, so maybe these pigs are distant relatives, who knows.

On our holiday we saw lots of beautiful things.
Here I am in Epcot in front of a lovely Japanese building.

Princess and me also visited the Japanese garden.
It was beautiful and tranquil.



I also had quite an adventure during our holiday:

It all started out like fun.
We met the animals from Madagascar and asked them to pose with us. Alex the lion seemed quite interested in me and at first I was quite flattered, until....

He ate me!
Aaaah! Help!

It took a warden to convince him to spit me out again.
Egh, I was all covered in lion saliva and I had a terrible scare!

But then Skipper took charge and promised to hold me and keep me safe from Alex. *swoon* If only he wasn't so tall.

So in the end I survived and we finally got our picture taken together with the Madagascar crew. I'm never going near a lion again!

After this scary incident we visited Hogsmeade!

Hogsmeade luckily didn't have any lions.
It did have this snowman.

And owl post!

I thought about sending an owl to say Hi to my family in the Netherlands, but they looked like they might be interested in eating me as well, so I stayed far away from them to avoid becoming a meal once more.

Princess and me did go on a cool ride though.
Much better than being eaten.

We met a nice trainconductor and had a chat with him.

And he posed with us for a picture without trying to eat me!

That's it for now!
I had a great time, met scary and nice animals and people and saw lots of beautiul and cool things.

Especially for Hammie


I got a toy projector thingie from Hammie awhile ago and as Hammie was very curious if it worked I took a couple of pictures of the projections it makes.
(slightly purple as I projected the images on a purple wall)

A Free Book!


Is it obvious my holiday is over and I'm now back to my normal working routine?

Yes, it is ;-)

Today we got this book in the mail!

We got it for free as my owner always gets lists of questions send to her by email about advertisements and stuff like that. When she answers the questions she gets points that she can collect. When she's got lots of points she can spend those to get a book for free! How cool is that?!

A Hand and Surprises


When we were on our way home today I spotted a large hand on a lanternpole.

It said I had to pick it up and wave for peace so I did just that.

When we got home there were two small bags with presents in them standing on the table.

They turned out to be for my owner as she and her OtherHalf had something to celebrate today, but I checked the bags anyway.

There was a fish in one of them!
As it was mostly purple the fish got a spot in my owner's purple workroom.

And look what had suddenly appeared in the workroom as well:
A noticeboard for cards and other fun stuff!

And as we were taking pictures anyway:
A picture of Olivia guarding our favourite books.

Food Spam and Mail


Yesterday we went into town for lunch.

Potatoes, mushrooms and bread with melted cheese.
Yum!

When we got home there was a book in the mail.
I won this one over at LesleyW's Book Nook. Voodoo Bride is very pleased with this win as it looks like her kind of book: Vampire chicklit.

Today there was mail from Hammie.

He made stamps from one of the pictures that were taken on Wednesday.
Aren't they beautiful?!

Thanks Hammie, what a wonderful reminder of our great day out in Groningen!
