Hello everyone. How has your week been?
Until a short while ago, my week had been lovely, with a cake made by D and a visit to see some new kitty babies that our son C and our daughter-in-law J are fostering.
Another large piece of one of my teeth has sheered off, so I will require yet another trip to the dentist. I think the tooth might need to come out, which I dread, but I can't keep having this happen.
So, let's move on to brighter things to share with you.
As many of you know, August was a very special month for us this year. We shared several birthdays that month, but we could not have any birthday cake because we had been away. Yesterday, D made this lovely Victoria sponge to celebrate.
We took the cake to C and J and visited their new baby kittens. They are fostering them like they have done several others in the past. These sweet babies were found in a shed and are only about 7 weeks old. They are two brothers and their sister and have been named Kaia, Java and Checkers.
We had a lot of fun just watching them start to investigate their new surroundings. Kaia, the sister, is in charge of the trio, and her brothers seem happy about this arrangement. Hopefully, it won't be long before they all find new forever homes.
Wishing you all a good week.

Sorry to hear about your tooth, Bev. These things happen so suddenly and unexpectedly.
ReplyDeleteThe kittens are adorable. I hope they find good homes when it's time for them to become more independent.
Thank you, Janice. I'm just feeling a bit sorry for myself and eating very very carefully until I can see the dentist. The kittens are adorable and so tiny. Hopefully it won't be long before they find there forever home meanwhile they will have a good start in their foster home.
DeleteWhat sweet kittens, I could watch their antics for hours. Hopefully you will have a pain free fix for your tooth. B x
ReplyDeleteThank you, Barbara. The kittens are so sweet and are just the size of my hand. Like most babies they sleep a lot, feed and enjoy playtime with each other. I shall be very cautious with my tooth until it is sorted.
DeleteTeeth are a big problem as you get 'older'. I lost a couple when I was on steroids, and I'm sure that was the reason. What a very super cake!
ReplyDeleteD always makes wonderful cakes and this one was delicious.
DeleteI'll be ringing the dentist in the morning!
I'm so sorry to hear about your tooth. I hope you get fixed soon and don't continue to have issues with it. Those kittens are so cute!! And that's a delicious-looking cake by the way.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Julia. I've managed to get an appointment for tomorrow (Tuesday) so I'll see what happens then. The kittens were so sweet to see for the first time and see them starting to explore. Cake was delicious and all gone now :-)
DeleteHave a good week.
Sorry to read about your tooth, just eat carefully until the dentist can sort it out for you.
ReplyDeleteThat Victoria Sandwich looks delicious and the kittens are adorable,
Take care this week, my good wishes.
All the best Jan
I think the tooth might need to come out because there is so little of it left. Not looking forward to that! I will be careful eating for a while.
DeleteIt will be fun to see how quickly the kittens grow and hopefully they will get new homes when the time is right.
Bake looks good. Here's to a better solution for your tooth.
ReplyDeleteIt was a very yummy cake and all gone now :-) Teeth will hopefully get sorted one way or another tomorrow.
DeleteHow go the teeth?
DeleteHi Ivy. Teeth are Ok at the moment . A plan has beeen made for my broken tooth and it will be fixed in a few weeks. No pain though which is good. Thanks for asking x
DeleteNo pain is wonderful. Happy to read that.
DeleteOh my goodness, that cake looks delicious. How cute are those kittens, I'd be hanging onto all the waifs and strays that came into my care if I were a fosterer, I wouldn't be able to part with any of them, haha. I'm sorry to hear that you're having problems with your tooth, I hope you get it sorted out soon.
ReplyDeleteD always makes a good sponge cake and this was no exception. It's all gone now.
DeleteC and J are such good kitty foster parents and knowing that when th ekittens leave they will be going to forever homes makes them happy. I'm so proud of what they are doing :-)
I'll let you know how the tooth story goes.
Have a good week. Jo.
So sorry for more dental woes! Hope all is settled when you visit the dentist again. Those are some cute kitties. I hope they find their forever home soon!!
ReplyDeleteThank you for your kind wishes, Jennifer. Dentist is tomorrow.
DeleteThe kittens are unbelievably sweet and I'm sure their new homes won't be far away. Have a great week.
Cute kittens and amazing cake - what more could one ask for.
ReplyDeleteSympathies re the tooth - that is a nuisance. xx
Thank you, Joy. I now have a plan of action with my teeth so it will get sorted in the next few weeks. Dare I say that D made a chocolate version of the cake today - to use up the cream of course :-)
DeleteThe kittens are very sweet and will be growing up fast now. Take care and have a good week x
Those kittens are gorgeous. The black and white one reminds me of Mog.
ReplyDeleteI'm sorry to read about your tooth, and I hope you manage to get it dealt with quickly. Xx
They are very pretty kittens and so tiny at the moment. They are being more adventurous every day.
DeleteTooth will be fixed in the next few weeks so I shall be a little careful what I am eating in the meantime x
Awww bless those kitties are so adorable 😍 I hope they find their forever homes.
ReplyDeleteYum, Victoria sandwich is my favourite cake, such a classic. Ouch on the tooth, hope it can be saved
I have had a temporary filling put in my tooth but am having a root canal and crown in a few weeks time. All will be good then.
DeleteThe cake was delicious. Always a winner in this house.
The kittens are very sweet and growing daily. It will be fantastic to see them find forever homes.
D’s cake looks splendid, so yummy! It has been years since I had a slice of Victoria Sponge Cake. What a lovely birthday treat! So sorry about your dental problems. I had mine a couple of months back and it is never pleasant is it? What good hearts to foster these adorable kittens. I hope they will find loving homes for them very soon. Thank you for visiting and leaving such a kind comment. I really appreciated it very much. Have a wonderful weekend!
ReplyDeleteD does make some wonderful cakes which we all enjoy eating together.
DeleteThe teeth are not causing a problem at the moment so I'm crossing my fingers that continues until it gets properly fixed in a few weeks time. The kittens are growing quickly and finding there paws. The boys have fun play fighting while theirsister prefers a quieter life. I will be over to catch up on your latest news very soon. Thank you for making me smile x
The little kittens are so cute... and yes, I love cake too :-))
ReplyDeleteAnd dentist, no we don't love it! I'm currently cooling my cheek every now and then, right after my vacation I had a dental operation, a molar had to come out... imagine, the doctor didn't need three minutes (apart from the preparation with the anesthesia syringe)
and I don't have any pain either. Now I'm taking it easy... no exercise or sauna for at least two weeks, the thread will be pulled on Wednesday (I think it's only one!) :-))
I was thinking about it and then it happened so quickly... it should be a little consolation for you, dear Beverley.
Hugs for both of you.
Thank you, Viola. I hope your teeth are feeling better. We both seem to have had a few problems with our teeth lately.
ReplyDeleteThe kittens are so sweet and grow quickly with all the food they eat. They have good appetites.
Oh dear, always dread anything happening to teeth, I hope you can get to see a dentist soon. The kittens are gorgeous and the cake looks wonderful:)
ReplyDeleteThanks Rosie. I have an appointment to get my tooth fixed soon. It isn't painful so I can manage until then. The kittens are growing fast and are very cute.
