I'm a bad mommy we never celebrated Basil's 2nd birthday on the 23rd! So strangely busy and stressed this month!
I learnt earlier this week that two more of Indy's friends have gone to play with him at Rainbow Bridge. Our friend Lesley was a regular visitor with Basil and Tess down the beach and the Cob in Llanfairfechan. Basil left this world last friday the 28th September aged 11 just a few weeks after 14 year old Tess. Both were well loved and had a great life together. Indy and Basil always chased the ball together and once with Red all ended up the pond together after going after a wayward ball. I wish I had my camera that day to capture their expressions as they waited to be fished out as they held onto the side of the pond like bottles in a row. Tess was the quieter one and like most collies when she acknowleged you it was a compliment. My heart goes out to Lesley for losing her beloved companions so close to each other.
Happy Thanksgiving to all our Canadian friends too.
Yeah, I'm obsessed. I still think it's awesome that I can actually grow enough basil to always have it fresh for cooking.

Handsome British stage actor and film actor Basil Gill (1877-1955) was a popular matinee idol during the 1910s. His stage career included many major roles in plays of William Shakespeare but also in modern plays. Between 1911 and 1938, he also appeared in thirty-five British silent and sound films.
Basil Gill was born in 1877 in Birkenhead, Cheshire, England. He was a son of the Rev. John Gill, of Cambridge. For approximately two years until May 1894, he taught art at The Grammar School, Wallington, U.K. before leaving for a post in Switzerland. His first stage appearance was in The Sign of the Cross, Wilson Barrett's most successful play, in Bury, Lancashire in 1897. The following year he appeared in this play in London. He then toured Australia and the USA with The Sign of the Cross and Ben-Hur. American newspapers called him the handsomest man on the stage. In 1903 Gill joined Herbert Beerbohm Tree's company at His Majesty's Theatre, London, and played several important roles in plays of William Shakespeare. He left the company in 1907. He was regarded as a matinée idol and also played romantic parts in modern plays. But Gill continued to perform in Shakespeare's plays during his career. The accomplished actor received numerous reviews commenting on the clarity and quality of his voice.
Basil Gill made his film debut in the silent historical film Henry VIII (Will Barker, 1911). In this film he appeared with Arthur Bourchier and Herbert Beerbohm Tree, on whose version of William Shakespeare and John Fletcher's play the film was based. The film's success sparked a mini-boom in Shakespeare adaptations. From then on the popular matinée idol, he played romantic leads and character roles in period drama on screen from 1911.also appeared in such silent films as On the Banks of Allan Water (Wilfred Noy, 1916), the drama Missing the Tide (Walter West, 1918) starring Violet Hopson, and The Rocks of Valpre (Maurice Elvey, 1919). In 1926, Gill appeared in two short films made in the DeForest Phonofilm sound-on-film process, Santa Claus (George A. Cooper, 1926) as the title character, and Julius Caesar (George A. Cooper, 1926) as Brutus. He co-starred with Madeleine Carroll in the comedy The School for Scandal (Thorold Dickinson, Maurice Elvey, 1930), the first sound film adaptation of Richard Brinsley Sheridan's play The School for Scandal. It is also the only feature-length film shot using the unsuccessful Raycol colour process. Gill appeared in many more films, including The Wandering Jew (Maurice Elvey, 1933) starring Conrad Veidt as the Jew who urges Roman authorities to crucify Jesus and release Barabbas. As a punishment, he is condemned by God to wander the Earth for many centuries. His final film was The Citadel (King Vidor, 1938) with Robert Donat. Basil Gill died in 1955 in Hove, East Sussex, England. He was married to actress Margaret von Cavania.

Åkte till en kompis i Kumla.
Tog med kameran, men inte batteriet.
Så kan det gå om man heter Erik, och då måste man lägga upp bilden man inte blev nöjd med som man tog när man kom hem.
Surt.

Our newest kitty. We've been thinking about getting a second cat for a while so Pica would have company while we're gone. A brief stop at the humane society convinced us, and Basil came home with us a few days later.
Happy weekend friends!
Today is the first time that I picked the theme for FGR!
For this month's choices, we had to select challenge groups for which we were admins, so I started a group called Inspired by William Wegman
This is the inspiration picture: On Set
Basil didn't want to fully cooperate today (unlike my very cooperative and ultra patient husband whose hairy legs are featured in this shot). I wanted Basil to sit up so that his head would be a bit higher, but he just kept lying down. Like he had leg-lameness-disease or something. Kudos to him for wearing hat scratchy wig.
