Woot! Fame at last! I have been published. š Recently Catster emailed me asking me why I donĆĀ“t write for them? So as a first effort, naturally, I chose the subject of the feral kitties on the island I live on and the charity work that 9 Lives Lanzarote does. I hope you enjoy reading…
The tune isnĀ“t half bad actually! By Tudor Williams (Meow Meow Meow Meow Meow Song)

I donĀ“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. š
Adding a new pair of cat themed shoes to my collection. Ā Arrived in the post from China today (via eBay). Ā š
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…
I want you to meet Dylan Kendall, a professional cat rescuer & talented artist! In her spare time she helps rescue and find homes for homeless four pawed cats. Most recently, she was able to trap a starving kitten by her home who spent an entire night crying for help. All it took was a…
This should go in the Guinness Book of Records. Absolutely brilliant! LOL
It´s fantastic to see that the Cabildo de Lanzarote is supporting Afibrolan and help create awareness on International Fibromyalgia Day today! Click here for Article (in Spanish)

This is something that came up in a (private FB message) conversation with a friend, and I just thought I need to get this off my chest. It´s about trying to reach somebody by phone and them never getting back to you, every single time you call them or text them, and them saying they…
This man is a true hero. People like him give me hope for mankind. I want to hug him and thank him so much for staying by this dog´s side. *sniff* Sadly, the dog didn´t make it, his injuries were too severe, but he knew until the end that someone *cared*.
Photos from the midnight and 1am Fireworks last night in Puerto del Carmen, shot from my balcony. ENJOY! New Year´s Eve Fireworks 2012-13, Puerto del Carmen, Lanzarote, a set on Flickr.
“Franklyn” – surely is one of the most wicked films I have seen recently! Spinning three stories set in two parallel dimensions (two set in contemporary London and the other in the fictional, steampunky, apocalyptic looking “Meanwhile City”), the three stories eventually come together in one fascinating finale…. those who know me know that I…
Christmas Parade in Puerto del Carmen last night – it´s a bit like a Mini-Carnival! Related articles, courtesy of Zemanta: Simon Calder’s Holiday Helpdesk: Is Lanzarote a good idea for a warm mid-winter welcome? La Palma and Lanzarote
Citadel is a deliciously angsty, dark and creepy movie that I think even the most hardened of you horror film fans would enjoy very much. It is an Irish/UK effort, starring a young actor (Aneurin Barnard) who reminded me very much of Frodo Baggins (the same kinda huge, beady eyes!). A father whose pregnant wife got put…
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…
It´s days like these when I want to pack it all (life) in. If I thought yesterday was bad, today is so much worse. Waking up as if a hoof kicked me in each shoulder blade, the pain radiating down both arms and down into the finger joints, is not fun. The burning sensation of…
“Stay” by U2. Such an utterly gorgeous song. I still think this is their best ever. And it still makes me cry, it holds so many memories – when this came out I was suffering from depression and I would listen to this 10 or more times in a row because this song would actually…
How about this for another fantastic offer for you Webmasters to get some amazingly cheap hosting for your website(s)?! I have been writing about various other companies offering this kind of cool stuff, but these guys also have a Server Sale on, so you get your own dedicated, unshared server (more secure and faster!) for…
