Rustle And The Cat Will Come

Our old cat Speedy who left us last year hated plastic. Genuinely. Just the noise of it was enough to make him run the other way, and I thought this was a general rule of thumb for cats. I guess it makes sense because to them it is just a horrible noise with no real reason. Plus a plastic bag blowing in the wind might look like some sort of evil winged creature..

With the two cats we have now, it is very much the same with one. Gracey is not interested and would rather waddle off upstairs to lay on our bed as she usually does - as I am typing this she is laying on the end of the bed. She really does waddle, if only you could see it then you would understand.

Bella on the other hand seems to love it. We put plastic bags on the chairs in the kitchen so that they would not cover them in cat fluff - what has ended up happening is Bella sleeps on the plastic bags. She also stalks around under the tables on the chairs watching people, all atop the plastic bags. If we move them off onto the floor to use the table, she lays on the plastic bags once again and just watches us. I got on board with it, just a quirky cat thing - until today. My parents have been clearing some stuff out of cupboards which were all stored in plastic bags, and she was batting them as they were piled on the floor. And then this happened.


At the time, we were eating our tea and all of a sudden my Mum started calling us into the living room and there she was, quite happily sitting in a bag. We tried calling her out of it, offered fusses and she just wasn't interested even a little bit. I took a little recording of her, then this picture - and then picked her up in the bag. She didn't like that too much but she had a wiggle around and then hopped out when I put her down, but that is something I can say I have done that not a lot of other people will have. I assume. Who knows, maybe cats love that.

On the D&D front, I ordered some dice as I mentioned before and they came! I do like the pattern, the numbering is nice and my friend who I play with had made a dice bag which I now use. Everything is so purple, I am also happy to say that it appears non borrowed dice did seem to let me get some decent roles, passing some different checks and actually killing some stuff!


This week, our little team were tasked with finding the source of a camp causing problems in the north, possibly populated by bandits or goblins like we had already encountered the week before. We came across a little horde of goblins scouting the area who we had far too much trouble destroying.. Mainly due to me breaking in the dice still, poor roles were still a thing. After that we encountered or first dragon! It was a Green Dragon Wyrmling so it was only a baby which, due to good rolls, was beheaded in a single turn. Cheeky magic bolt, cheeky angry barbarian chopping. It is so much fun, and playing is just inspiring me more to make my own story to share. The only problem is, I want to do it all proper, so researching it and making random events tables, and making sure there is a range of difficulties and all that jazz. It might be a while.. But it will give me another heading to include along the top!

We have also just booked in to see the film We Are Your Friends on Thursday which is the release day, it was directed by Max, the silver dude from Catfish if you have seen that MTV show. Looks awesome. I shall let you know at some point our verdict - mine will likely be it was awesome because I like most films.. Yeah.

Thank you once again for reading, I am thankful for each and every view I receive as always. Blog you later!
