Has been a funny morning. Earlier this morning up on the roof with a cup of tea it was really clear, then when I was on air with Spectrum FM Mojacar I looked out the window and couldn’t see a thing ….. just a sheet of white fog/mist. Just had a look out the window [...]
Almerimar: Through The Balcony Window
August 11th, 2010Cats: Fleurs Weight & Latest Photo
August 8th, 2010Just weighed Fleur as it is now 7 weeks since Sands rescued her. When we took her to the vet (Fleur that is not Sands) for her operation she weiged 0.8kg. When we took her back for her xray she weighed 1.35kg, and this morning she weighs a healthy 1.95kg, and as you can tell [...]
Sol Times: A Critique
July 23rd, 2010Thought I would grab a cup of coffee up on the roof and have a scan through this weeks Sol Times. Oscar and Fleur seemed interested in joining me ……… I guess I should have known better!!!! Check out the video below:
Cat Cartoon: So True
June 30th, 2010I reckon that anybody that has, or has ever had, cats will relate totally to this cartoon that David sent me!
Los Gallardos PAWS Cat Rescue BBQ
May 8th, 2010Earlier today Sands and I went up to the Paws Cat Rescue Annual BBQ and Fund Raiser at Camping Los Gallardos just outside Mojacar. The day was a mix of small stalls selling books, second hand clothing, cosmetics, accessories, and general household and personal bits and pieces. None of the stalls were very big, all [...]
Adjusting To Summer
April 28th, 2010With the temperatures nudging the 30 degree mark in places today, and after getting far too hot sat on the terrace at Miroflores yesterday over lunch the first thing I did this morning was do my annual switch over from Winter to Summer clothes in the wardrobe. Have got it down to fine art over [...]
Happy Birthday Moreno
April 14th, 2010Hard to believe that the little man is 4 years old today! Fresh prawns and lots of fuss for you today ……. which to be honest is a pretty normal day for them all!
Orla Would Have Been Two Today
March 31st, 2010Little Orla – Loved dearly and missed every day! Sad day as little Orla (Baby C) would have been two today. The poor little thing never even got to celebrate one birthday during her short life, but every year we will remember her, and celebrate her brief life and time with us.
Mountain Goats In Spain
March 17th, 2010I was up on the roof this morning enjoying the sun and listening to the iPod. First time this year I have been in shorts, and it felt great to have the sun on the old bones again! Happend to glance up to see a very bemused looking Oscar sat in the doorway looking up [...]
Happy Anniversary Oscar
February 28th, 2010Today little Oscar will have been living with us a year! Looking back at the initial videos from when we were fostering the little chap I don’t think there was ever any doubt that he would be staying, and there have certainly been no regrets that he did. Looking at the latest photo of him [...]
The Reader
February 6th, 2010After a very pleasant lunch yesterday I thought I would grab an hour up on the roof in the late afternoon sun and the latest issue of The Reader. Seemed like I was not alone with that idea, as Oscar decided to jump up my knee and read it with me! Maybe we should hire [...]
Oscar’s First Christmas
January 15th, 2010Last year it was Saidi’s turn to experience Christmas for the first time and this year it was Oscar’s turn ….. and despite the fact that we were all ill and the weather was terrible he had a great time. In fact it may well have been the poor weather in Spain and the fact [...]
Happy Anniversary & Birthday Saidi
January 10th, 2010Today Saidi has been with us two years, and will be five years, so a double celebration, which is a little like having your birthday on Christmas Day for her as both Oscar and Moreno get two celebrations as they have different days for their anniversaries and birthdays. She has developed really well over the [...]
Purrfect Sunday
January 3rd, 2010Well with the exception of the Man Utd result that is! At least the stupid debate about taking Owen to the World Cup will surely stop now? The theory is that if England need a goal in the last 10 minutes he is the man. What rubbish!! His miss kick in the penalty box proved [...]
Sunshine and Coffee
January 2nd, 2010Just had a very pleasant half hour up on the roof with Sands, the Cats, an espresso coffee and ……… the sun!!! Yes, the rain and wind have gone, to be replaced by the return of the sun here in Almerimar! Wouldn’t say it was sunbathing weather yet in this part of Spain, but it [...]
New Years Day Brunch
January 1st, 2010Just started 2010 with a very healthy brunch: fresh orange juice, espresso coffee with milk, mushrooms, scrambled eggs, tomatoes and smoked salmon. The sun is shining, the rain has stopped but it is still windy, but it was such a pleasant meal sat in the lounge with the sun shining in and the cats asleep [...]
