Rocking it in purple on International Women’s Day 2023.💜👩🏻💜👩🏻💜👩🏻💜👩🏻💜👩🏻💜 Even though I wear purple most other days 😂😂😂 Even though I don’t really believe in these awareness days and what they are supposed to do, I would like to point out in particular the struggles that women of slightly advanced age like myself (avoiding the…
My dad is finally released from suffering. He was 77, and passed this morning 7:20 German time, after having spent all his time in hospitals since December last year, following complications from a triple bypass operation. I wasn’t very close to him and didn’t see him often because we lived in different countries, but inside…
“Intelligent conversation” with people is something I really miss since moving to the small island of Lanzarote in 2004. When I lived in London, I had a lot of friends who were into similar things as me, and also people on more or less the same intellectual level whom I could talk to about “anything…
I posted this photo on my Instagram, but the b*stards took it down, saying it was in violation of their policy. But they never take those annoying sponsored posts that litter my timeline down, which is in violation of my personal f*ckin space! So here you go, Planet Earth, I present to you my booty…

The total lunar eclipse of 27th July 2018 was the longest eclipse this century, with the totality phase lasting a whopping 138 minutes! And for an extra treat, with the moon looking red, planet Mars was right next to the moon in all its red glory! Looking south, a little further to the right of…
I believe that any kind of “day” that has been made up by us to raise awareness or help create equality really is a lot of bullsh*t. I believe it actually separates us further, rather than bring us together. We should be concentrating on us all, the human race as a whole, and not separate…
And here are my photos of the fantastic day!
No to hunting with Galgos and other breeds – photos from the anti-cruelty anti-hunting demo in Arrecife, Lanzarote on 4th February 2018.
Following my disappointing post about the Cannapharmacia closing down for good in July last year, a new cannabis association has popped up in its place, and in the same location, run by new people! The new club is called Klinic Cannabis Club, and apart from a wide variety of grass and hash, they also have medicinal…
And New Year’s Wishes too! From Barbarella, Ruby, Lugosi and Spirit Cat Spider – see if you can spot him on the card, he’s still around, haunting us). ?
I have been a medical cannabis user since 2013, ever since I became aware that there was a cannabis association called “Cannapharmacia” in the nearby town of Playa Honda. Before that, I would never even have considered using cannabis to treat my chronic fibromyalgia and rheumatoid arthritis pain, because I would have had to buy…
Pet owners in Lanzarote who lost a beloved pet, have had until now no option to give their deceased pet a decent and dignified send-off. If your pet died at the vets or was found dead in the road, it will be sent to the municipal animal crematorium in Arrecife and chucked in with all…
I wrote a post on Canna-Pet’s natural cannabinoids back in September last year and how they have helped my boy Spider, and thought I would write a quick update on how he is doing now. Spider has been on Canna-Pet for about a year now, and the adenocarcinoma that my vet removed from his ear a…
I recently received a promotional sample of the Tabcat Cat Tracker. If you have ever struggled to find your cat inside your house or around your garden or nearby streets, especially when you need to take them to the vet (they always “just know”!), then this may be for you. The package I received consisted…
I decided to have a total change in style and colour! My original idea was fuchsia coloured hair with purple at the roots, but sadly, my hair has way too much black dye build up, and for the aforementioned colours it needs to be bleached to almost white, and my hair doesn’t go any lighter…
13 years ago I “married” my beloved tabby twins Lugosi and Spider. In 2015, we held a little “renewal of meows” ceremony which was featured on UK TV in Channel 5’s documentary about “cat crazies” called “90 Cats and Counting” (see our part from the documentary in the video below). My boys are now 17 and…
I had the pleasure of meeting the friendly feral street cats that live all over Jerusalem whilst on my trip there in April of this year. Now you can enjoy my new 2017 calendar which has 13 beautiful images of these cats, and makes a great Christmas present for both cat lovers and animal photography aficionados….
In March 2015, my boy Spider was diagnosed with kidney disease. Being in its early stages, there was still a lot of hope, but of course, the condition is not reversible and will eventually get worse. However, there are quite a few things we can do to slow down the progression. The first thing I…
I bought this lovely pet blanket at our local Lidl here in Puerto del Carmen yesterday, but after only one day of use, it looks like *this*, can you believe it?! The material is obviously totally unsuitable for use with pets, and after only one day it looks like it is a few months old. When I…
It has come to my attention via my good friend of mine, that a U.S. company called Hinterland Herb Co. have behaved in a truly unbelievable way, after being contacted by her about wishing to buy their organic catnip from their Etsy shop. When being told the rather steep price of their product, my friend said that she could buy organic…
Spider & Lugosi celebrated their 17th birthday yesterday. Yes, that’s SEVENTEEN glorious long years, which translates to around 85 human years. My boys are the same age as my grandad now! 🙂 If you want to find out how old your cat is in human years (or yourself in cat years), there is a nifty cat…
