New additions! They come in two's!!

Lately we've had some changes around here!
It started with a change of cars, for various reasons we decided to trade our old cars in for 2 "new" ones. I am very glad to be back in car that sits a bit higher and Grant has a nice spacious one with plenty of space for a wheelchair +++!
(Will come in very handy when we go away in a couple of months time.)

The next set of new additions were Cinders and Charly:
We had promised Niave that when Bonny died she could get a kitten, however when the time came, there just happened to be 2 kitties that were needing homes and the vet allowed us to have 2 for the price of 1 (all the spaying, vaccines etc. is included) so it was a done deal.
They have now well and truly settled into their new home and Emma has decided that they're not so bad after all!
Charly
Cinders
The final set of new additions came in the form of wheels and pedals:
A trip to Makro to exchange my new vacuum cleaner that wasn't vacuuming revealed a very sweet bike that would be on special today. Both girls have been in desperate need of new bikes as theirs have really seen better days and due to the frustration of chains continually coming off and brakes not working, not to mention sore backs and knees from a bikes that were really too small.
It's funny how easily little girls can twist their daddy's arm!! And so we have 2 shiny new bicycles and 2 happy girls.
Now all we need is a bike for me!!

How funny! We had a black cat called Cinders (Cindy for short) and brown tabby called Charlie when I was growing up. Yours look more friendly than ours were tho!

They must be popular cat names, we also had a grey cat called Cinders growing up and our neighbours had a Charlie.
These were the names they were given at the vet and the girls wanted to keep them. They are very sweet and friendly, very different to our old cat Bonny that died. It's nice to have cats that like to be cuddled and cosy up to you on the couch. Bonny had too many issues!!
