63...

I have absolutely no motivation to do anything at work ;-) (sorry co-workers) Actually yesterday I did everything that was waiting for a "better time", so if I start my vacation today, my work doesn't overload anyone else.

Saga was following me the whole morning. She just kept looking at me and of course I tried to ask her if it was ok for me to leave for work... I have to go and check up on her after a couple of hours.

I studied for my exam 'til 1 AM and naturally I'm quite tired now... But I guess a few cups of coffee will help with that..

Plans for the christmasparty

Christmas party is approaching and I still haven't been able to do a decent invitation :-/ I have the menu from the restaurant and the preliminary reservation has been made. However we have to announce the number of people by 19.11. at the latest.

23.11. is the date and our reservation is for 7 PM - .

I'm trying to get something done this week...


***************************************

Saga is still in one piece and hopefully she won't have her kittens before Friday.. I have my last exam on Thursday and I can't miss it no matter what. But fortunately my mother has promised to check up on Saga, so I don't have to worry about that so much.

The presentation of my thesis was also rescheduled and it's on the 28th of November. Could the date be any worse?? (NOT) It's my birthday and I'm pretty sure that the presentation will ruin it ;-) But the good part is that I still have about two weeks to get it done.

So now it seems that after all, I'm finally going to graduate ;-) However it doesn't do me much good, because I don't intend to apply for a job from that field. But a degree is always a degree.

61 days, a few to go?

Häjylle terveisiä, Saga voi paksusti ja oikeastaan jaksaa liikkua enää syömään ja parvekkeelle. Eilen mahakas rouva yritti myös lähteä ulkoilemaan ja protestoi kovasti, kun muut yksitellen saivat valjaat päälleen ja katosivat ovesta ulos. Saga jaksoi huudella protestejaan parvekkeella ja ovella, mutta ei auttanut - ei tuollaiselle tynnyrille varmaan edes omat valjaat mahtuisi ;-)

Sisarusrakkaus kukoistaa ja Roope pitää huolta Piballon puhtaudesta - se kun ei ole yltänyt enää pitkään aikaan pesemään takapuoltaan. Saga päästää Roopen kyllä lähelleen, mutta toisin on Lullan ja Iineksen laita. Varsinkin nuori ja nätti Iines tuntuu Sagaa ärsyttävän ;-) Kelvoton kakara yrittää Roopeakin liehitellä, ja sehän ei Sagalle sovi.

*********************************************

Saga was a bit restless yesterday, but she calmed down and seems to be quite calm now. I got a telephone message from her a few hours ago (via my mother's phone) and she sounded like her loud, normal self ;-)

She eats A LOT and sleep a lot. Her belly is really big and she looks like a whale on dry land :-) Today is 60th day from the mating, so I guess she will be in one piece for a few days at least.

She is unable to groom herself and Roope is doing that part for her ;-) Sibling love... Saga is very unhappy with Iines and Lulla at the moment. Iines does't care about Saga's cursing, she runs and plays and totally ignores Saga. Lulla tries to avoid Saga the best way she can.. It wil be interesting to see if Lulla will want to take care of the kittens and will Saga let her take care of them?

I took some pictures of Saga's belly yesterday, I will try to get them posted later today.

More pictures of Iines :-)

Iines 21.10.07

Iines is enjoying a fresh october day in the balcony :-)
More pictures of her and the others as soon as I get them from Toni.

Suvipäivän Igor European Champion!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Huh, I was so nervous in the morning when Igge went to judging. It was up to Bjarne Wikström whether he was to become EC today or later... Bjarne gave Igge a very good judgment and there was no question if he was going to get the cert or not: he got it!!!

So at the age of 3 years and 23 days Igor is now European Champion :-) BIG congratulations to Veikko! And also for the happy breeder Suvi ;-)

We already gave our present to Igge, but the celebration will be held at Turku :-)

Häjy has become a father for the first time

Häjy's first kittens were born today, 6 kittens and the biggest one weighted 140 g!

I'm anxiously waiting to get pictures of them :-)
