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…
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…
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…
Yes, most of us have “been there, done that”. At just a month shy of my 50th birthday, I am still “being there, doing that“!!!! 😀 Rockin’ it on St Patrick’s Day Lanzarote style… #green #irishharbourbar #stpatricksday #paddysday #guinness #catlover #catlady #lanzarote #Irish #ireland #canarias #canaryislands #acdc #highwaytohell #rock #heavymetal A video posted by Barbarella…
Another amazing carnival this year in Puerto del Carmen! CLICK HERE to check out *all* the photos I took. ENJOY!
It’s every photographer’s dream to get a shot such as this. And this morning, I managed to shoot this! 🙂 Now that’s what I call perfect timing! (click on the photos below to enjoy the large size pictures) For the next plane that came along a few minutes later, the sun already stood too high…
Found this Scotsman (who introduced himself as Gordon) playing his bagpipes in the middle of a parking lot in Puerto del Carmen, Lanzarote on Christmas Day…. How random is this?! LOL Found this totally random Scotsman in Lanzarote playing Christmas tunes on bagpipes in the parking lot! #Lanzarote #bagpipes #Christmas #puertodelcarmen #parkinglot #scottish #scotsman #catlady…
Lanzarote is a popular holiday destination with a tropical climate, lots of gorgeous beaches and sunshine all year round, but the following is one of the small prices we have to pay for living in paradise (and don’t get me wrong, it is worth paying!). We have to put up with holidaymakers walking around in nothing more…
Lending our voices to the worldwide protests today against imprisoning dolphins and other cetaceans in water-filled concrete bunkers, like the one that Rancho Texas Park (which is a small local zoo) are building right now in Lanzarote. I was disappointed though at the lack of actual *voices* making themselves heard. Having looked at some of the…
I had the pleasure of getting invited by Jerry Lefever to appear on local Playa Blanca/Lanzarote radio station Lanzarote Mix last Friday, 29th May 2015. Here´s a short part of it that I selfie-filmed with my mobile phone camera – hence my mouth movements being out of sync, haha! ENJOY.
I took some wonderful shots of the Harbour Kitties in Puerto del Carmen the other day. They have become so famous, they even have their own Facebook page now – go take a look. :: Harbour Cats Puerto del Carmen Facebook Page :: My Fish! MINE!!! I iz cute… Hello Lunch. Duck Photobomb

The Irish national holiday St Patrick´s Day is celebrated in a big way here in Lanzarote, no doubt due to the fact that Irish tourism has been booming for the last few years, and more and more Irish have left their home country so they can enjoy cheap beer and great weather permanently. Below is…
Wow, it´s already been 10 years since I moved here on 24th February 2004! I had to get up at the unholy hour of 03:30 hrs on that day to be taken to the airport, together with my two fur kids Spider and Lugosi, to make the big move to another country. We left at…
Woot! Fame at last! I have been published. 😉 Recently Catster emailed me asking me why I don´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…

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…
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….
