I don´t know much about butterflies (I do know this is a Red Admiral though), but can you believe, this little guy appears to have *lights* at the ends of his antennae. 🙂
At 37 degrees Celsius today, I saw this street tom in Arrecife getting his water intake from whatever source he can (a leaking pipe in the building´s wall)…. beggars can´t be choosers.
With Repsol and 2 other oil multinationals on our doorsteps and ready to drill into the ocean floor unless we stop them (and we bloody well WILL!), we are getting a lot of support from all over the place, including this cute, blonde surfer babe…. NO to Oil in the Canary Islands – Sign the…

Yesterday afternoon I saw an elderly woman let her little black dog do a huge shit on the pavement of a busy street near the Biosfera Shopping Center, Puerto del Carmen, and then nonchalantly walk on without cleaning it up. I accosted her, asking her in Spanish if she could please pick up the dog…
Last night I was walking down the road to meet my friend for a beer down my local and I hear this incredibly loud “meeeeeeeeeeeeeeew” from somewhere in front of the Las Vistas tourist complex. So I go and investigate and it appears that there is a kitten inside the engine of a big 4×4,…
After the wind noisily whipping around my house like nobody´s business last night, it is today still near gale force here in Lanzarote, even in our usually quite calm Puerto del Carmen in the South of the island, with gusts of more than 40km/h. I feel sorry for those tourists nervous of flying (and those…
04:30 hrs. I don’t think I have ever seen a night sky as clear as right now from my balcony, even with all the light pollution here in Puerto del Carmen, Lanzarote. The usually rather faint looking constellations of Scorpio and Sagittarius in the South are particularly pretty and there are billions of tiny, nameless…
There has been no recent news that I have heard of regarding the proposed Repsol oil platforms off the coasts of Lanzarote and Fuerteventura. However, the protests continue, with the next event being a “human chain“, organised for 17:00 hrs on 26th May 2012 in Arrecife, starting at the Cabildo and along Playa Reducto….
We have been having a heatwave in the Canary Islands since last weekend until Wednesday of this week, and in particular Lanzarote and Fuerteventura were hit with temperatures of over 40C degrees (105F). My body transformed into a state of joy during that time. I almost felt like I could fly and even went swimming…
Most of my friends and family think that living on the tropical island of Lanzarote I must be going to the beach a lot, simply because “it´s there”. Well, the truth is…. I don´t! I guess when you have something on your doorstep every day you soon start taking it for granted. Take all the…
As a dog owner you have certain responsibilities. Being a pet owner there are things that need to be done to ensure your furbaby´s happiness and good health. However, have you thought of the happiness of the people around you when it comes to your pooch? Chances are you haven´t, if you leave your…
Moving from cold, wet London to sunny, dry Lanzarote was one of my best moves ever. All my adult life I never dealt too well with the typically damp British weather, and when in 2004 I decided to live somewhere other than London, returning to my equally wet home town Hanover in Northern Germany did…
