Kara, Muska, Anna, Gwen & More Tummy Time
Today we saw Kara and Muska properly for the first time in a little over six months. We had seen them via a webcam session in Skype, but that obviously wasn’t the same. Anyway, they looked well (Kara especially, she has put on some weight and now looks healthily non-boney), so a huge thank you to Gulnaz for looking after them so well. I’ll try and remember to take a few shots of them once we move back into the flat.
Anyway, onto the reason for this post – Anna’s published photos are a long way off real time, so I’m hoping to upload at least the majority of them tonight, and space out the actual posts over the next week or two. These photos are of Anna having some more tummy time (considered important now that parents are advised to place babies on their backs always when sleeping, therefore their neck muscles need developing), with Gwen guarding her in the background 🙂 See here and here for the last couple of similar posts with pictures.

Cute Kitties
Irina recently mentioned that I hadn’t posted the snaps she took off our cats when they were in a friendly mood with each other…
So we start with Muska and Kara sat cheek to cheek on the sofa, moving on to Muska hugging/holding Kara down (this is often also the start of them fighting – affection and conflict so close together…), then cwching/snuggling, then an ‘action’ (bit blurry 😉 ) shot of Muska cleaning Kara’s face, then finally Muska looking cute as ever whilst rotating for the camera.

Plenitude of Past Pictures
I finally got around to transferring the photos from Ira’s camera onto my PC this evening. So you should expect some shots of… DaveG’s party, a few cute shots of Kara and Muska hugging, a couple of visits to the Irish pub (including one when they were had a competition where you could win prizes if you ordered pints of Kilkenny), and some more recent shots of Tishka’s kittens. I also have a lot of news-related posts I need to make, as I want to try and clear down the backlog before we move back to Clydach in a week or so.
(Yes I realise that ‘plethora’ tends to have negative overtones when people read it, but you try thinking of a word beginning with P that means lots of or a bug bunch 🙂 )
[edit]
OK, I gave up and used an online thesaurus in the end. I turned down plenty and pack in favour of plenitude…

Last Catchup
Here we have the previous combination of slightly shaky hand, phone camera, AND low lighting. Wow.
Anyway, these are the only photos of Miss Lilly that I can find on the phone. I thought I had taken more, but then again I though I could at least sing Green Day tracks, until last weekend when I proved myself wrong in front of an audience with my first (and possibly last ever) public karaoke performance. Enough of the self pity, onto the photos of Miss Lilly (duetting with Joe in one shot) performing in the Northwind pub. We’ve been a few times now, and can honestly recommend her entertainment to anyone in the area.

Catchup 4 – Getting More Random!
Almost done now…
We have Gwen looking as cute as she knows, in the hope someone will give her a treat, or take her for a walk, or stroke her, or anything really, she isn’t fussy 🙂
Next, we have a very blurry photo. Sorry, again, shaky hand + mobile phone camera do not lead to great shots. However, Karra just looked SO cute sleeping under the duvet, I had to post it. I wish I could have tip-toed into the room so she hadn’t woken up, but I still think she looks sweet.
Finally, back in Britain again, we were stopped somewhere for a quick break from driving, I think, when I noticed the car you see before you. I’ve seen such an array of stickers in computer games, especially in the Need For Speed series, but it just looked so much more tacky in real life…

Miss Lilly
[EDIT]
Amended time for cocktail happy hour. Thanks to Mel for the correction.
I have been meaning to post about Miss Lilly, an American singer who has taken up residence in Northwind (is that the right term? She will be there six nights a week for six months, anyway.) We have been to see her three times so far, and not been disappointed yet 🙂
Anyway, I promised her on Friday night that I would post details about what is going on this Monday, so…
Monday 20th October 2008
Northwind (“English Pub”)
Prospekt Respublika
Astana
Now I had little bit too much to drink on Friday (thanks to Dave, Mel, and Dave’s friend’s friend for getting me home safely), but I’m pretty sure that Miss Lilly said that this Monday there would be 50% off cocktails from 7pm-8pm, and a little later there would be karaoke. CORRECTION: Either 7-9 or 8-10 IS THE CORRECT TIME.
I could be off on the timings though, so do check at the bar first. I’m hoping that Ira and I can make it, and possibly bring the in-laws.
I tried to search online for some photos or videos of Miss Lilly performing, but can’t find any right now. I think I have some (very blurry) pics on my phone, so when I get back to the flat I’ll upload any that are vaguely useful.
