This viaduct is partly owned by Sebastian (who is one today)

[vilakins]

They had another Newmarket viaduct segment signing today (see here for the first one featuring Ceiling Cat) so we went in and signed the insides of two. As it's also Sebastian's estimated first birthday, one of them got signed as "Sebastian's Birthday Seggie".

Photos of cats, viaduct, Big Blue Thing, and a Scotsman


A view of the Big Blue Thing on the viaduct and a segment to be signed in lower left. The segments will be part of the new lanes in the middle. The side closest will be demolished when its replacement is completed.


Viaduct and segment with people signing
This is clearer, You can see Big Blue through the gap between the two new sections. The left one is the new southbound lanes we walked on August last year before they opened it. The middle bit is the new northbound lanes which are replacing the old southbound ones. The right section is the existing northbound lanes which will be demolished when they've finished the new ones. So now we've signed both sides!


People signing the segment
The completed southbound viaduct is hollow and lit inside so maintenance workers can walk through it and incidentally see all the signatures on the signed segments. :-)


I asked this lovely Scot in the project office if I could take a photo of him. I assumed he was one of many tourists here for the Rugby Word Cup but he turned out to be the project manager. And yes, he was going to the game tonight. Sadly they lost to England. He told us that the signed segments will go up on Monday.


Another view of Big Blue just because.


And finally here are Sebastian, Jasmin, and Ashley having their birthday tuna. The closest we can get to having a panther, a lion, and a white tiger. :-D

Of course, you know they are all those in their minds. 8-)

Happy birthday, Sebastian!

[vilakins]

They certainly look slinky and wild when they don't know we're watching. If they see us though, they run to us and go all kittenish. Or cubby. :-)

He had a good one, though all days are good to him. :-) I hope he's pretty much stopped growing, but I doubt it. He's quite a big boy now.

They are exactly that when out roaming in their jungle(Your beautiful garden)

Happy birthday to Sebastian!

And I agree with the comment above!

Happy Birthday Sebastian--may you enjoy many more Tuna Days. (I see you have to do separate plates for tuna treats--me too!)

I think the signature thing is a great idea, by the way.

What fun! All of it - especially the Scot in the kiilt! What could be better than a Scot in a kilt! Yay!

I love your kitties, and Tuna Birthday! LOL - I wish my cats recognized tuna as Food. They don't. If it's not kibbles in their bowl, it's not food (except for the elderly queen Lixie, who has always loved cookie crumbs and cracker crumbs, and has recently discovered ice cream lickin's left over in my bowl. Now she nags for ice cream ALLA time.)

Kilts are the best, especially on cute Scots :D

Naw how cute, I love kitty birthdays! I always used to make mine a special "cake" out of their food, with some kind of cat treat on top. Happy birthday to Sebastian :)

I once upon a time forty years ago had a cat that loved oatmeal cookies--he carefully ate around the raisins. He always looked at me as though I was a bit mad for putting 'those awful things' in a perfectly good cookie.

Happy Birthday, Sebastian!!!

[threeoutside.livejournal.com]

Isn't it funny how they can make their opinions QUITE clear? lol

I wish I'd got a photo of Ashley on the sundial with Sebastian sitting beside it with Falco the Roman and Bast[et]. she saw me though and jumped down and ran to me.

[vilakins.livejournal.com]

Sebastian purrs at you.

They're gorgeous cats and have such different but cute personalities.

[vilakins.livejournal.com]

They have separate dishes for any soft food and they still try to muscle into each other's sometimes. :-)

They've handled that project really well, getting the public interested and involved (beside the Scot are the finalist photos from a children's photo competition).

[vilakins.livejournal.com]

Tuna is their favourite! Though it's hard to tell with Sebastian because he loves any food.

Awww. Have you tried them with yogurt? Mine love it--just a teaspoon now and then--and it really helps with any bad breath.

[vilakins.livejournal.com]

Apparently there were no kilts to be bought or hired in the country this last week.

I should have added some cat treats! Mine also get tuna on our birthdays and other special occasions like new year.

[Sebastian purrs and runs to you for a head-rub]

[jaxomsride.livejournal.com]

if that is Sebastian at 1 he is going to be a BIG cat, so definitely a panther!

[vilakins.livejournal.com]

He's already the biggest, but he does look extra-big there because he's closer to me. They said he'd be a medium-sized male. He's such a sweet-natured smoocher. [hugs Sebbie]

Greg said today that we've now had him for half his life. :-)

[luinielle.livejournal.com]

Belated birthday greetings to Sebastian! :o) That is a cute photo of your three.

[stevie-carroll.livejournal.com]

Happy Birthday to Sebastian!

[imhilien.livejournal.com]

Great photos, thanks. :)

[vilakins.livejournal.com]

Thanks! I took about three and that one was the best.

I missed such a good one yesterday when Ashley saw me and spoiled the shot by running to me. But still, so sweet.

[vilakins.livejournal.com]

He had a nice fishy one. :-)

[vilakins.livejournal.com]

Are you following the progress too? :-)

[imhilien.livejournal.com]

Yes, I like looking out for Big Blue. :)

Oh, and Happy Birthday to Sebastian. :)

[green-maia.livejournal.com]

Happy Birthday, Sebastian!

[elle-winters.livejournal.com]

Happy brithday Sebastian!! (:

They look adorable! And My how big he's grown in one year!

[vilakins.livejournal.com]

He purrily thanks you! :-)

[vilakins.livejournal.com]

We've had him for 6 months and he was already 3kg then and the same size as Jasmin and Ashley. :-)
