Pippin has had a very chilled second day home, with breakfast, second breakfast, elevenses, lunch, afternoon tea, and dinner everything a growing hobbit kitten needs 💙🤗
For folks who followed me yesterday for Pippin pics, my account is usually mostly weird horror, sci fi, Scottish folklore, and writing and bookish chat...amongst the now occasional kitten pics 💁♀️🐈📚🤗
This morning Pippin did a wee head nudge into my chin for the first time, and it was the sweetest thing for at least two minutes...and then he bit me 🙃🥲
In a slightly unexpected (and very exciting!) turn of events, I'm going to be taking up a writing Fellowship at Hawthornden Castle Literary Retreat near the end of November! A month in a Scottish castle just to write...not quite sunk in yet! 🤗🎉🏰✍️
In Scotland, trick-or-treating is known as guising, a custom that traces back to a time when children were disguised as spirits to blend in with those active on Samhain night. When guising, children receive gifts to ward off evil in exchange for a story or song.

More info:
Pippin wouldn't keep his cone on so I bought a soft one to stop him licking his wound...I don't think he's any happier and he's plotting his revenge as we speak 🙃
In Scottish Hebridean folklore the aurora is known as Na Fir Chlis – the merry dancers who are supernatural sky warriors. When the lights move fast, then a great battle is ongoing between clans. As blood fell from the wounded to Earth it created bloodstones.

My lovely mum got Pippin this chunky cat tree palace for his wee holiday so he can sit and watch the sea, he's very cosy and content, which good for him as he kept me up all night jumping on my head so he must be tired 🥰🙃
Today has been one of those rejection influx days, so if the universe would like to balance that out in some way I wouldn't complain...at least I'm back home with Pippin after a wee work trip, he's almost forgiven me for being away 👀🥲🐈🥰
