Caturday Art and Sunday Selfies with Queen Trixie

Hallo again, Effurrybody!

Shavua tov (a Good Week) to you all!

Yes, it is ME again, Queen Trixie, Furrst of My Name, Empurress of Jerusalem, Israel and the Entire Middle East, Queen of Hearts, Guardian of the Boudoir, Alpha Kitty Extraordinaire, etc. etc. etc.

This is going to be a furry short post, because Our Petcretary Mummy is tired, having spent a goodly portion of that part of the day when She is usually awake and active, (and helping Us write Our Blog) with her Caterwauling Club at a rehearsal. 

In the middle of the day, do I hear you ask?

Well, yes - because they are appearing in the Jerusalem International YMCA's annual Chrissymouse (and Hanukkah) concert, which is being pre-recorded, this year, without an audience, because of the Evil Chinese Coronavirus pandemic. And since they are appearing (like last month) with the Jerusalem Symphony Orchestra, they have to make themselves available at the same time as the orchestra. They are going to be singing two pieces - one for Chrissymouse and one for Hanukkah. For Chrissymouse, they will be singing the Hallelujah Chorus from "Messiah" by Mr. G.F.  Händel. And for Hanukkah, they will be singing Maoz Tzur (or, as WE call it, Miaoz Tzur), to the less well-known tune by Signor Benedetto Marcello. The recording will take place later this week. Hanukkah, of course, starts Thursday night, with the lighting of the First Candle and you are all invited to join Us for a Hanukkah party on Saturday evening at 6 pm Israel Time, when We will be lighting the Third Candle. There will be latkes (potato pancakes) and sufganiyot (yummy jam doughnuts) and all the other traditional Hanukkah foods. And we will play dreidel and all sorts of other games.

Now, kitties, it is time for us to join the Sunday Selfies blog hop, hosted by the delightful Kitties Blue and their HuMom, Janet.  In the picture above, I am strategically placed on a comfortable chair under the table, where I am safe both from my rambunctious brofurs, and from the thunderstorm that visited Us that day. (My brofurs ran and hid under the bed. But I stayed in the living-room to purrtect Mummy from the Storm.)

Mummy artified the picture by adding the Colorello filter from the Paper Artist app on her meowbile phone, and added a frame from the same app, so that We can take part in the Caturday Art blog hop, hosted by the Wise and Beautiful Athena and her HuMum, Marie, as well.

We have also made a jigsaw puzzle of it. But We haven't yet tried to complete it. We know it will take Us a zillion years, especially if We have to rely on Mummy's Puzzle-solving Skills (mol).

 And here are the blog hop badges:

Now, just a quick reminder before We go (because you already know the drill, right?) that the Evil Coronavirus is still lurking out there, so don't go out unless you must (and don't let your Humans go out either, unless it's for something really impawtant, like shopping for Food or Treats for you), make sure they wear facemasks if they absolutely have to go out - and REMEMBER TO WASH YOUR PAWS REGULARLY.

See you next week.  By which time, it will already be Hanukkah.
So - 

Happy Hanukkah!
