Trying To Keep Our Cool: Caturday Art And Sunday Selfies With Trixie

Hallo there, Effurrybody!


It's most annoying but Our Air-Conditioner is on the blink. Well, sort of. It works fine insofar as it keeps Us cool, but it is dripping on the downstairs neighbour's laundry. It seems the drainage pipe is torn and needs to be replaced. It is fortunate that Mummy's brother-in-law, Uncle N., is "in the business" as they say, but he can't do it on his own because there is no easy access and he needs to wait until his partner gets back from holiday to help him. Naturally, this would happen in the middle of a dreadful heatwave. 

Since Mummy strives always to be a good neighbour (and the downstairs neighbour is really cute - MOL), She came to an agreement with him that he'll let her know when he's planning to hang laundry and She won't have the A/C on at that time. Hopefully, We won't have to wait for more than a few days.

More serious is the fact that Grandpaw slipped in the bathroom the other day, and narrowly missed hitting his head. He did manage to cut his arm in a couple of places. He is furry weak and Mummy is terribly worried about him. He is 95 after all!

So, that's Our Mews for today - none of it good.

The Bright Spot is that it is time, once more, to join the Weekend Blog Hops - the Caturday Art blog hop, hosted by the Wise and Beautiful Athena and her HuMum, Marie (who, alas,  has some really bad news of her own), and the recently-expanded family of the Kitties Blue, and their HuMom, Janet.

This is My Selfie:














We artified this using LunaPic's beautiful Frida art effect:















It looks all bright and sunny, doesn't it?

But We didn't stop there. We also tried a couple of effects from PhotoFunia.


Furrst, We hung the artified pawtrait in a gallery:















And We also thought We'd see how it looked as graffiti art: 




Which way do you think I will be more famous?


Finally, here are the blog hop badges:


        


We don't know whether We can stop worrying about the Evil Mutant Ninja Coronavirus yet, or whether it is time to start worrying about the Monkeypox instead - or maybe both of them together! Just make sure your Humans continue to take all the necessary Precautions.

Be well. Be safe, We love you all.

Great selfie today! We hope you get the a/c situation fixed soon.

Trixie, my personal care keeper, Lynn, votes for the mural effect. She has so many murals in our big little city and finds more on her bike rides through even littler villages. It really changed your fur coat to golden brown. So mink like, it is no wonder you are now shown off in the museum. Hope you and the other princes do not get too hot while waiting on necessary repairs. Nice of you not to drip on clean human clothes.

Oh isn't it ALWAYS the way! And a heat wave too!

You look beautiful in the gallery. I am sorry your grandpaw slipped and hope he will be okay. I also hope the a/c is soon fixed. We don't have it here but could have done with it during the heatwave.

Trixie, it is so nice to see you. Your selfie and artwork are beautiful! We're sorry that the other news there is not so good. We hope Grandpaw is on the mend and feeling better real soon. And that the A/c gets fixed lickety split as well. At least, as you said, the neighbor is cute. ;)

Hugs!

Prayers to your Grandpaw from all of us and yikes on the Air Conditioner problem. Beautiful selfie and art!

Kea said...

Trixie, purrs to your Grandpaw, we hope he recovers soon. We also hope your a/c gets fixed quickly!

BTW, you're famous even with out your picture hanging in a gallery or as graffiti, though those certainly will garner more widespread attention! :-)

We had a/c problems a week ago too. Can you believe that after TWO visits from the repairman they finally listened to our Mom who told them what she thought was the problem, AND she was right. We hope yours gets fixed soon.

We liked all the art work for that very good selfie.

You sure are a pretty kitty! I'm so sorry you have A/C issues in the middle of a heat wave, that is the worst!

The Florida Furkids said...

We hope your A/C gets fixed quickly. We're sending POTP for your Grandpaw.

Nice artwork!

I will add Grandpa to my prayer list. That stinks about the a/c especially when it is so hot. I love your art- you definitely belong in a museum, not the side of a building. XO

Purrayers for you all and especially Grampa !

That's so scary about your Grandpaw! Good luck with the ac. Gorgeous selfie and art!

M Dawson said...

Your gallery filters made me laugh, they are amazing.

Linda said...

Nice portrait! Best wishes to Grandpaw.

Meezer's Mews & Terrieristical Woofs said...

We sure hope that your AC can be easily repaired and post haste!

And we will pray for your Grandpaw to get stronger and heal up. Falls are very scary.

Love your selfie and all the art you made with it. I think the graffiti is wonderful, and when peeps find out whose it is, you'll be furmouse!

Supurr selfies and art today, we loved the gallery one!

We're sending oodles of purrs and prayers for your Grandpaw.

CCL Wendy said...

Trixie, you are absolutely splendiFURous! Just look at that tail! Wowsers! Your art is amazing, too, and deserves a place on the wall, but I preFUR the real thing. I'll see you in my dreams.

So sorry for your grandpaw, I hope he recovers soon🙏 You look breathtaking in your selfie, Trixie😺 Hopefully the airconditioner will get fixed soon, before you all melt away😸 Thank you so much for bringing comfort on the passing of my sweet Little Binky. It feels good to know how many friends she had and that you were one of them. Thank you💗Pawkisses from Heaven to you all🐾😽✨

There is allus "something" going on with Beins. They just have to have machines work. We like all temperatures. TBT saw us lazing in the sunpuddles on the deck an it was like 95 of his degrees an we were just fine. And we are better when it is cold out, too. He needs some fur.
