Following Tuesday's happiness, on Wednesday I hosted a Cat Family picnic!! I was pretty excited about this, as not only did it mean seeing some of the best people in the world, but it also involved extending my cooking to people outside of my family- hehe! I was up bright and early to cook pasta, and to get the house ready. MLTHWB, BB and SW came over at around 11:30, and we headed down to the field to set up camp.
We spent most of the late morning/early afternoon chilling out and eating; plus we played a couple of games of Consequences, of course!! Also took BB's weird quiz, on which I did best, but we'll leave that there. Ginny enjoyed sitting out with us, particularly as I fed her probably more than I should have done... But I managed to get some decent pictures of her, so all was well!
As we were waiting for GS to arrive, we had to keep sending people back to the house to check if she was there or not. Following one such occasion, I came back to the picnic to witness this- SW in his natural habitat, up a tree. Of course. (This is a much more common occurrence that it might seem!)
Following that, the rest of us decided that we wanted to try climbing, too. That went about as successfully as the following picture demonstrates...
Eventually, GS arrived- we ate more food, played more games and did quizzes (incredibly hard ones) devised by myself and MLTWB. Just before we were about to pack up and head inside, we got attacked by a small pack of wild dogs. By which I do indeed mean that four young spaniels decided that they wanted to picnic, too. No one really knew what to do; we just put the food on our heads and hoped for the best. It was a bit of a surreal experience to be honest.
After that, we headed back to my house to play Harry Potter Cluedo, Who Am I?, Consequences and a tiny bit of online CAH... PCH turned up in the early evening, but unfortunately GS had left shortly before :( We decided to walk to a nearby park, where we played in the sand and then had a game of Sardines- woop woop!!
The most notable hiding place goes to SW, for this gem...
Finally finally finally, we went back to my house & everyone headed back to their respective homes.
Such a beautiful beautiful day!! <3
